Plugable UD-3900PDH Docking Station review: An affordable dock with a lot of ports
This Plugable dock is more affordable than most, but the horizontal design may not work for everyone.
Plugable makes a lot of docking stations, catering to different segments of the market.

Plugable has been making a name for itself with some pretty good docking stations. The first one that caught my eye was the Triple 4K Docking Station that I reviewed last year, which supported three 4K displays without Thunderbolt support. As somebody with an AMD-powered laptop, this ended up very useful. One of the company's latest additions is the Plugable 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock (TBT4-UDZ), which is the first fully-featured Thunderbolt 4 docking station it's ever made.
Plugable UD-MSTHDC docking station review: Adding (almost) all the ports your Chromebook needs
Plugable's first Works with Chromebook docking station is a winner, letting you enjoy dual monitor support and many extra ports.
Some of the best Chromebooks these days are going in the same direction as Windows laptops, stripping out classic ports like HDMI or Ethernet in favor of Thunderbolt or USB-C. These are modern ports, but you'll need a dock to connect your Chromebook to multiple displays or a wired internet connection. There are a lot of great Chromebook docking stations, many of which pass Google's tests and carry the Works with Chromebook certification, but none of these docks were made by Plugable.

Plugable USB-C Stand Dock review: Helping make your tablet more useful
The Plugable USB-C Stand dock combines a stand and docking station into one handy device, helping to turn your tablet into a proper workstation.
One of the cool parts of owning a great tablet like the iPad Pro or Surface Pro 9 is the versatility. Attach the Type Cover keyboard to the Surface Pro 9 and you get a laptop-like experience. Or with an iPad, you can prop the iPad Pro into the Magic Keyboard, so you get a device great for more casual computing. What's not so great about these devices, though, is the port selection. Tablets (and phones) don't have a lot of ports like a traditional laptop might, so this complicates using them for work.

Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station review: Three displays without Thunderbolt
The Plugable USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station supports three 4K displays at 60Hz - even with Apple M1 and M2 Macs.
Until recently, I had never used a docking station before, but when Plugable reached out to me to offer the USB-C Triple 4K Display Docking Station (UD-ULTC4K for short) for review, I was intrigued. This is a revised version of the previous dock with the same name, but it's no minor refresh. This new model comes with some big improvements both inside and out.
