The unit has now replaced a cheaper USB hub we were using for the M1 mini, but don't expect this to work with the MacBook M1. While iVANKY doesn’t officially support M1 MacBooks, the USB-C Docking Station Pro worked perfectly for the mini. One surprising superpower of this unit is that it offered dual-display support for a Mac mini M1 we had on hand.

For example, a 1.09 GB file took less than a minute to download to an inserted card-excellent news for people who constantly swap files from computer to laptop using external SD or USB storage. Transferring data both to and from an SD card offered much faster speeds. For those using the Docking Station Pro as part of a work-from-home or mobile setup, that means no stopping important work to hunt down a laptop charger.ĭata transfer was also reasonably fast, and a 1.14 GB file copied from the laptop to a USB-C stick took less than five minutes.

Connecting a second monitor also worked well, and even mixed display resolutions looked great.Ī unique feature here is the 96W charging capability of the iVANKY dock. The maximum resolution offered was 3840 x 2160, and even on our 27-inch screen, the text was nice and sharp with no artifacts. Using a single HDMI 2.0 port resulted in a clear 4K picture running at 60Hz per the monitor inputs. To test this unit, we used a 2018 MacBook Air running macOS Big Sur 11.4.
