Ugreen’s latest multiport docking station — sporting nine ports for most workstation connectivity needs — is helpful in several ways, including if you want to extend an M1 MacBook’s external-display capacity from one to two.
The device also offers 100 watts fast charging plus fast file transfer via USB-A and USB-C ports.
Ugreen 9-in-1 USB-C Docking Station
Ugreen’s new 9-in-1 dock is a slim device that looks like it would be useful in various computer setups. It helps connect a variety of peripherals, transfers data at 10Gbps rates and helps keep cables directed to one place.
But it also has the big benefit of solving the problem of limited external displays with certain Apple silicon MacBooks. The machines easily add one external display, but that’s it.
In order to easily add two, you need to add a device like this one, with its DisplayLink technology. It handles two 4K displays running at 60Hz in either extended or mirror modes.
