Question of the Day ⚡ What do you think about the CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock? Let us know! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 **** Watch our FREE Home Office Setup Video Series HERE ➡️ th-cam.com/play/PLgc0GNip2uYVLbMz8PfJ08JbVhqR2nKls.html
I think what was discussed is very essential especially when more people are working from home these days and the need for a better screen or ports sometimes is forgotten when considering the technology being used. It was cool to see the SD card port.
@@stefol0u Hey Stephanie, you can get all sorts of docks similar to what the video talked about for the Mac. I have 3 different docks since I have 3 laptops and two of the laptops connect to my dock hub so they can connect with my additional screens. You can purchase the docks from Office Max/Office Depot, Best Buy, Amazon. I got mine direct from Targus and my other dock from Sabert. The neat thing about these docks is that they are universal and work for Macs or PC/Windows
It looks good. Have you reviewed any eGPUs? I was hoping to hear you talk about an external GPU, which might have similar performance to a Desktop Graphics Card.
Think Media looks awesome and well priced. Especially only one plug to your Mac i know Ive got to plug in way more its not fun and takes time. Definitely will order one soon 😃👍
As a church creative myself, its cool that you're doing creative work for your local church, as I've seen in the b-roll in this video. Your channel and its value is phenomenal.
I think this device is amazing! I currently am rocking a early 2013 Macbook pro, and even though it has most of the ports here, I might consider picking this thing up!
@@ZakiQutteineh You don't need a 2016 macbook pro you can use the Apple thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 adapter and use it as intended even with a 2011 macbook pro. Keep in mind that thunderbolt 3 have 40 gbps of bandwith, thunderbolt 2 have 20gbps and thunderbolt 1 10gbps. For the usage he's talking about, external SSD, ethernet and a few other peripherals a thunderbolt 2 device will do the trick exactly the same way as a thunderbolt 3 one
Shout out to Kyle behind the scenes! Thank you so much for weighing in from a video editor's vantage point, and thank you Omar/everyone at Think Media for this video:) It's practical, educational, and appreciated.
This is amazing information to me as an upcoming content creator that uses his iPhone, lol. I am gathering information for a good set in the future and I think this will be a purchase for me. Thank you for creating this video.
Great video omar. Omar, I have a very important question to ask you. Can you please recommend a good laptop for editing outside any apple product? I'm really struggling to make the right choice. This is what my channel is about: [A creat content to help creators to get better at what they do, via tutorials, and the ocational B-roll etc.]
Been loving mine since day 1. I'm using it with a 16" MacBook Pro and for those wondering: it does keep its charge nicely even though the caldigit provides "only" 87 watts of power compared to the 96w Apple charger that's included with the machine. I need to add that it's used mostly for music production so I'm barely using the graphics card
I have this for my editing PC, it’s great to have the connectivity on my desk instead of having to reach the back of my case on the floor under my desk. Thunderbolt 3 is faaaast like crazy.
Actually i am also doing this but with a 32 inch led tv with a MacBook air 2012 which heats up within 30 mins.... But its still works and using it for online class and for youtube
Omar, watch out using your MacBook connected to the CalDigit dock with the lid closed. I used to do that with my MBP 2017 and had to replace the screen panel twice before I stopped doing it. Looks like the heat from the body affects the screen.
You guys always got useful and helpful content I will try this one has i been following you'll recommendation to start my channel now I upload content every week on Saturday
Will this work with a 2012 MacBook Pro? What’s the best way to connect a 2012 MacBook Pro? Moving out into a new apartment in January and getting everything now so it’s all ready!
About time, a product that would just provide the necessary ports needed at an amazing quality to price ratio. Definitely will be considering this for my wife's Macbook and whenever I upgrade my Mid-2014 15" Retina Macbook Pro. God Bless!
Good review - I've had this hub for a few months and it's impressive and sooo useful. HOWEVER...make sure you have the latest firmware if using with a Mac, it was prone to rebooting the laptop for no reason every now and again.
That's cool if you are a Mac user. I use my Dell laptop exactly the same way. The dongle I use makes it simpler to connect the laptop doesn't have quite all the inputs (audio out or in, etc) and still have to plug those in separately. Is there a PC version of this dock?? Many thanks!!
Oh wow! Been waiting for a product like this! Right now I have two doggles connected to my laptop and the mess is so cumbersome. Thank you for making this video!
Nice work here..this video and couple others helped me decide to get one for my M1 Mac mini..love the expansion , speed and convenience it brings to my desk.
What do I think of this dock? Well I considered buying it but bought a WAVLINK instead, but the WAVLINK couldn't output to 2 DP at the same time - so that got returned and I am using a Lenovo TB3 dock now.
Would love to see a video with various monitor choices and resolution tests. I think not all "4k" screens are alike....some bamboozlement going on a lot of times.
its so odd how everything is quickly switching to USBC/thunderbolt, yet we dont have any USBC hubs to give us more USBC ports, like a 1 port to 4 port! no one at all has one
How come it doesn't have an HDMI port? My current monitor has an HDMI so is my goal is to only have 1 cable going to my laptop for easy disconnects on the go, would be out of lucks? Do most monitors these days not use an HDMI?
@@thenamesrehan So you can plug an external monitor directly into the hdmi port on the side of your computer. it has an sd card reader built in too. keyboards can also be plugged in.
I have the CalDigit TS3 Plus connected to my MBP and it has been having problems since day one. I recently upgraded the firmware and it has been worse. Losing DP connection randomly. Removed and reinsert the thunderbolt connection fixes it, but the network goes out. Unplugged the thunderbolt connector and reconnected fixes the network. This can happen every few hours, but at least once a day.
A docking station with an SD card? Been using these for years. Single connection over USB A and C. $240? ouch. got mine for about $100 less. glad you like it.
I’m looking to buy a Jagrom. It’s about $80. What would the downsizes be do you think? Jagrom USB C Docking Station, 14 in 1 USB C Dock with 2 HDMI & VGA, PD3.0, Ethernet, SD TF Card Reader, USB Ports, Mic/Audio, Type C Hub Adapter Dongle Compatible for MacBook Air Pro and More www.amazon.com/dp/B08HDC49TW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YKDG2PMAR91H5BEYVBPV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I got a ASUS 2 in 1 laptop that recently stopped working and the screen broke and snapped off, do you think I might be able to change out the battery and use this device with an external monitor and the bottom half of my laptop 💻
I just bought the CalDigit TS3 Plus. My connected hard drives stay on (light flashing and drive spinning) 24/7. Shouldn't the drives shut down when I turn off my laptop (MacBook Pro 2018) or is my unit defective?
My windows laptop doesn’t shutdown completely whenever I connect the laptop to the dock . The shut down function works well if do not connect to the dock. Does anyone knows how resolve this shut down issue ? I have to press the power button for 10 Sec to force shut down the laptop once I connect it to this dock.
Do your external drives connect automatically when linking up with he dock? Do your Time Machine backups kick off as scheduled while you are connected to the dock?
I actually like using my macbook screen when editing photos/color grading video because theres nothing like it however, specs wise you want a monitor that has "IPS"
Only one DisplayPort port? That better support dual displays with a spliiter or daisy chain. Even then, for $225 plus it should have two video ports IMO.
Hi, thanks for a helpful review. Wonder if you can offer any advice though. I have a 5 yr old Thinkpad X1 (no USC C charging, requires special cable), a more recent HP elitebook from work and two HDMI-able monitors. Would this dock work with either laptop, used at different times? I want to be able to use one dock and just swap the laptop. I did try using a Lenovo USB 3.0 Ultra Dock, but it didn't seem to like the HP and didn't pass through Night Light settings from Windows, so was unusable for me. Now, I am just using separate HDMI cables but this is messy and annoying. Is there a solution to this or is my Thinkpad just too old?
I have the Caldigit Ts3+ and love it. But i have a problem with the audio input, it just doesn't register. The lid is closed all the time and its connected through the dock. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? please :)
I contacted the company and they say it only works for hosts with Thunderbolt ports, not compatible with USB 3.1 Gen2 (USB-C) port. So it's useless on my MSI GE72MVR 7RG Apache Pro

If for Mac only. Researching if there is something similar on Windows laptops? I find my laptop screen too small to see everything when using Ableton.

Just bought mine a couple weeks ago and I could not be happier. Now just waiting for my LG 34inch 5K monitor to arrive this week and I’m all set.
I think this device is amazing! I currently am rocking a early 2013 Macbook pro, and even though it has most of the ports here, I might consider picking this thing up!
2013 Macbook pro doesn't support Thunderbolt 3 ... you would need a 2016 or newer Macbook. :)
@@ZakiQutteineh ok thanks!
Same! I have a late 2013 model, but it’s still going!! 🙂

Are you serious?
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro 13 inch and was hoping to close it and use a monitor.
Mr Green it might be different with the previous models since the heat diffusion system would be different

Never before have I seen a man say "dongle" with such seriousness
Any other youtubers who talk about social and philosophical topics? ❤️
Have you guys done a video on what laptops/ computers are great to use to edit TH-cam videos?
Will this work with a 2012 MacBook Pro? What’s the best way to connect a 2012 MacBook Pro?
Moving out into a new apartment in January and getting everything now so it’s all ready!
It’s the centerpiece for my rig. Total game changer
Ive been searching high and low for a USB C monitor so I just need one cable. Is this a better option?
Can you do a video about a good studio set up? Might move int hat direction soon!
I like how casually you are using footage from MKBHD lol
Great video man, checking my Windows laptop for the T3 port now

Good video. It's almost like a dock station.
Hi mate, I was wondering if possible for it to turn on the laptop without open the lid?
That's cool if you are a Mac user. I use my Dell laptop exactly the same way. The dongle I use makes it simpler to connect the laptop doesn't have quite all the inputs (audio out or in, etc) and still have to plug those in separately. Is there a PC version of this dock?? Many thanks!!
if your dell has a thunderbolt 3 port then it would work
I have a CalDigit TS3 Dock and absolutely love it! Definitely a lot of bang for the buck in one small aluminum enclosure.
Do you edit worship sessions for a church or something? (For the footage I saw on one of the clips).
Just bought one.
Let's see if it can handle my setup. 😊
Hey, I a fan of your channel but this? No Hdmi in such product? Am I missing something or most monitor have hdmi?
Do I need that if I'm using a Dell, Lenovo or Hp laptop?
Oh wow! Been waiting for a product like this! Right now I have two doggles connected to my laptop and the mess is so cumbersome. Thank you for making this video!
Caldigit makes such good stuff! Happy you guys featured them!
Nice work here..this video and couple others helped me decide to get one for my M1 Mac mini..love the expansion , speed and convenience it brings to my desk.
I like it but my only concern is that it might be outdated. If you can find a newer one, I would be so grateful

I knew about before the video. Still was a great Video.
Love mine. I had both this and the OWC dock as well. Both great, but this one has remained.
I didn't know it was possible! It's going to be a life changer! Thank you! 👍
Please don't call this a HUB. It's a docking station and there are a lot of them on the market to fit different needs. They're wonderful devices.
My thoughts exactly.
I want to buy a mac mini M1, however Im hesitant due to the fact of not enough USB A ports. Would this be the way to go, for adding more UBS ports?
*INTERESTING Video!* 👍
Would love to see a video with various monitor choices and resolution tests. I think not all "4k" screens are alike....some bamboozlement going on a lot of times.
What audio codecs can you get from this device through optical?
Amazing
I wish it had an HdMI out and a micro SD reader too. Then it would be a perfect docking station.
I brought one about two months ago, it’s Awesome; it just make sense!
I've heard lot of complaints about this being a noisy little bugger. WOuld you say it's a case of faulty single HUBS, or a thing for all hardware?
This is good video content 👍👍👍
Will this work on a MacBook Pro 2015?
Is this for windows?
its so odd how everything is quickly switching to USBC/thunderbolt, yet we dont have any USBC hubs to give us more USBC ports, like a 1 port to 4 port! no one at all has one
What is the refresh rate out of the display port?
Does it also work with non Thunderbolt3 laptops?
Seems an interesting topic for me.
I love your extremely helpful vids!
Does this work for older featured laptops? Ie. mid 2012 Mac book pro?
How does (or does it) work with a PC? I have the Lenovo 81LY Idea Pad.
Would this type of hub (not this one necessarily) work with a windows laptop without USB-C or Thunderbolt?
How come it doesn't have an HDMI port? My current monitor has an HDMI so is my goal is to only have 1 cable going to my laptop for easy disconnects on the go, would be out of lucks? Do most monitors these days not use an HDMI?
hey i just loved the idea but my laptop just has a usb c port and also im on tight budget . so, is their a really cheap and compitable for me???

Does it work with an acer nitro 5 gaming laptop i7, rtx 2060 ?

Only one DisplayPort port? That better support dual displays with a spliiter or daisy chain. Even then, for $225 plus it should have two video ports IMO.
How do you turn your laptop on and off if you keep it connected and shut on a stand?

Mine did the same thing so I had to upgrade. It was about time I did anyways
Which MacBook pro do you have?
Thank you very VERY much for the review I appreciate it big time!
With docking stations like the TS3 plus, will I lose out on my refresh rate (160 hz)? Like does it diminish?
I have the Caldigit Ts3+ and love it. But i have a problem with the audio input, it just doesn't register. The lid is closed all the time and its connected through the dock. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? please :)
How do you turn on the laptop if the lid is closed and hidden away? Do you slide the laptop out and then press the power button or what?
I cant find it in stock anywhere
Same as the Windows PC too!
OoP I need this Ty
how do you keep camera charged while using as webcam
It only has 1 DP port. That's unfortunate. For that price at least 2 DP ports or 1 DP and 1 HDMI would be lovely.
Hiya!!!!
Will it work on Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 Model
