Product Information

ports include SD Card Reader, Audio In/Out, USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port with PD 3.0 , 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, 2x HDMI 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 2X USB-A 3.1 ports, and 2X USB-A 2.0 ports Actual display support varies upon computer specifications. Supported Intel-based Mac models and Thunderbolt 4 PCs support two displays over Thunderbolt. The following Apple M1 (Apple Silicon) Mac models support a single display over Thunderbolt: The minimum requirements for USB 4 are much lower at 20Gbps, while Thunderbolt 4 is at 32Gbps. Likewise, the minimum power requirements for Thunderbolt 4 are double those of USB 4 at 15W versus 7.5W. Apple’s move to its own silicon has yielded impressive results, and the MacBook Air with its M2 processor is an easy recommendation for almost anyone.

We've tested the best cables, hubs, and dongles to help you connect your all your peripherals to your new laptop, even if it has only USB-C ports. All the Thunderbolt you’ve always wanted: Add more speed and more fully functional Thunderbolt ports to your computer USB hubs offer the best way to add more functionality to a PC or notebook without many ports, and we have recommendations for almost every situation.

USB port provides up to 1.5A of power for bus powered drives and device charging. Thunderbolt 4 ports for device connection provide up to 15W of power.Access all the power and speed you’ll need for work, play, streaming, and more — even while connected to multiple peripherals and devices — all through a single cable connection. Thunderbolt 4 and USB 4 are easy to confuse, not least because both offer the same USB-C connector and the same maximum data transmission performance (40Gbps). Though USB 4 can only send at this rate over 1 meter, half that of Thunderbolt 4. USB 4 is even based on the Thunderbolt protocol, but the two are not the same. They're just very similar. OWC is passionate about sustainability and is walking its talk. Here’s just some of the projects OWC participates in.
