Windows systems allow you to expand your desktop to three 4K 144Hz monitors or up to four displays in total. In the case of macOS, capabilities depend on the type of Apple Silicon chip installed: M4/M5-based models support multiple external screens, while M1/M2/M3 versions are limited to Apple architecture.

The aluminum housing of the docking station measures 22.2 x 8.5 x 2 cm and weighs 510 g. System includes:
