Razer’s own Thunderbolt 4 dock looks like a terrible deal in comparison.
The go-to for many is a dock powered byThunderbolt 4, but not every equipment guarantees compatibility.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Razer.
Razer is out to prove just how capable USB can be without Thunderbolt.
Razer had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
On top of that,USB4 can use most Thunderbolt docks and accessories.
It’s also $100 less thanRazer’s own Thunderbolt 4 Dock that we reviewed.
This dock is covered by Razer’s standard 1-year warranty.
A premium design, excellent performance, and an attractive price point really sell this dock.
It’s quite compact at 22mm thin and not particularly heavy, but it still offersfourteenindividual ports.
All of this and more, and the Razer USB4 Dock never broke a sweat.
Those ports aren’t cramped, either, with enough spacing to allow you to use them all simultaneously.
All of these ports are neatly lined and snug, and build quality in general is exceptional.
In use, I never saw the Razer USB4 Dock stumble.

No matter what I connected, though, the Razer USB4 Dock kept up.
Everything simply worked, which is exactly what you want from a docking station.
I do wish all the ports on this docking station were clearly labeled, though.

Aside from making this dock heavier, though, I’m not sure what could be done here.
The rubber feet on the bottom certainly seem grippy enough.
If that’s what you need, this is an easy purchase at this price.

The Razer USB4 Dock is a prime example of this.
It’s sleek, it’s premium, and it’s packed with ports and features.
TheRazer USB4 Dock is now available for$229.99 at Amazon.
All these ports could admittedly be more clearly labeled for users.
