Have you been thinking about buying a monitor arm as well as a Thunderbolt docking station? It turns out Sabrent is offering both of these options in one accessory.

Available on Amazon for $349.99, Sabrent’s Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station with Monitor Desk Mount is a great combo of two different product categories. Not only is it a monitor arm but when one of the best Macs, such as a Mac mini or M3 MacBook Air, is connected to the docking station, you get a bunch of extra ports. These include:

  • 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports that both support up to 40Gbps transfer speeds
  • USB power delivery (PD3.0) to the Mac, charging up to 60W
  • 1x HDMI 2.1 and 1x DP 1.4 display output ports, supporting display resolutions up to 8K/30Hz (with DSC) with one monitor or 4K/60Hz simultaneously with HDR and HDCP 2.3
  • 2x USB-C, 1x USB-A ports with transfer speeds up to 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1) and 5V/1.5A charging for external storage, peripherals, and more
  • 1x USB-A port with transfer speeds up to 5Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) for external storage, peripherals, and more
  • 1x SD, 1x microSD UHS-II card readers (SD 4.0 and TF 4.0) with speeds of up to 312MBps
  • 1x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port for network and Internet connectivity at speeds up to 1000Mbps
  • 1x 3.5mm jack with mono/stereo audio output or microphone input

It’s safe to say that this docking station has all the ports you need for your Mac. When it comes to the arm, it’s easily adjustable to a single monitor that supports a standard VESA mount with displays of up to 32” and 10kg/22lbs.
