      @@FranklinColmenaresSilva hey Franklin, thanks for watching! I believe the iVANKY Fusion Dock Pro 1+ would be your best bet. I'm pretty sure you can use the discount code I put for it in the description to stack on top of whatever discount they may have going at the moment to get the best price. Also check on Amazon for comparison. But if you're on a real tight budget and really only need the dual 4k monitors and not many additional ports, then perhaps a dock from the brand 'plugable' would suffice though I have not tried those myself and so cannot vouch for their efficacy.

    I recently ordered a new M4 Pro Mac Mini and new that I would need a dock and price is not a huge concern I just want the best however since the M4 Pro has Thunderbolt 5 I feel like it would be a waste to spend $400 on a dock that woill be replaced soon when a Thunderbolt 5 version comes out, so I will wait for that. However for $100 I bought the Gewokliy Mac Mini M4 Dock because I need USB type A day 1 when my Mini arrives plus this dock raises the Mini for better airflow and offers an easy way to turn on off the Mini with a clever design. I'd rather replace a $100 dock than a $400 dock. Anyways, thanks for the video!

    Hi Seif, new to the channel. I’ve been looking for a quality dock that will allow me to adapt to as many use cases as possible. I’ve just bought the M4 Mac Mini (base model with 512GB) but I mainly use my M4 iPad Pro (2TB) as my workhorse these days. I have aimed to be an on the go user for quite some time and just use my iPhone 15Pro Max as my content creation device.
    I was swayed by the M4 Mac mini as a great all rounder as a desktop to cover any shortfalls the iPad has. I didn’t plan on getting one by any means but my ancient MacBook Air (2014) was on its last legs.
    So, will the iVanky dock cover me for most things such as monitors, speakers, keyboard, mouse, charging tech, SSD’s, and all work with my iPad Pro when switching from the Mac to the iPad?
    I’m slowly getting to grip with tech but it’s moving so fast I’m struggling to keep up. My dyslexic brain is fried from trying to work this stuff out.
    I just want to be modular/adaptable from now and across the next 5yrs.
    What would you suggest?
    Thanks

      I think the best dock in your situation is either the iVANKY Fusion Dock Pro 1+ or the Caldigit TS4. This is because it just requires the single usb-c connection to your device vs the dual on the Fusion Dock Max 1. As far as I know and have researched both of those docks should accommodate all your peripherals mentioned on both your ipad and mac. But please just know i'm going off what I'm reading, haven't tested any of them with ipad Pros myself.

    Hi Seif,
    I Was hoping for some advice in terms of Docks, As im currently making huge changes to my setup in the coming weeks. and was hoping for an all in one solution to transfer peripherals and displays across devices,
    the idea of the setup is.
    2 displays one -34 inch Samsung g8 and one 27 inch UHD 60hz monitor
    peripherals are - a custom MX keyboard, a Wireless mouse, A screenbar pro, an instalink 2. and a pair of speakers. A microphone and maybe a streamdeck? Im kinda adding to the setup and trying to visualise it in my head so excuse the incoherence..
    and probably the odd type c charger here and there and an SSD and the Ethernet port of course
    so my idea is, when i use my macbook i would have a thunderbolt port to charge the mac and plug the two monitors into the caldigit for a dual monitor setup. The samsung monitor i can use a Usb C cable for but for the older lG monitor id probably have to use a Type c to HDMI adapter
    If i change to my work laptop it would be a simple switch of the charging thunderbolt wire from the Caldigit and instead of connecting it to the mac i can connect it to the work laptop to transfer all the peripherals
    Now when I need to use a PC thats when ill connect the same wire from the laptops into a PC port, But ot keep the high refresh rate from the Monitors id manually switch to the Display ports. So i can keep the peripherals in one dock but maximise the specs of the monitors for when im gaming etc.
    I haven't built the PC yet but I intend to over the coming months as I'd like to do it last, which makes testing this out all the more difficult.
    In theory I think this should be able to work, If you could provide any insight or better ideas or what would be a better dock i would much appreciate it!

    Great video. Just had a question and a comment for you:
    Question about the dock: The Ivanky is marketed to drive 4 monitors at 6K@60Hz but what about if you resolution needs aren't as high but you want to run at a higher refresh rate,...is that possible? To simplify with an example, if I want to have a 4 monitor setup - say 3 x 1440p monitors @ 120/144Hz refresh rates, and 1 at 4K@60Hz... will I be able to use the Ivanky dock to get the higher refresh rates on the 3 x 1440p monitors? Or would the Ivanky limit the refresh rates to 60Hz even if the bandwidth needs are less? The dock says 6K at 60Hz, but if I'm driving 1440p can I drive that at 120/144Hz? Or will I only get 60Hz even from the 1440p monitor?
    2) Since you say you go for the best, there's a Thunderbolt 5 dock that's planned to come out soon by Hyper (another excellent peripheral manufacturer). I'd love for you to compare the Ivanky with that one when you have a chance. The item details are here www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-next-thunderbolt-5-dock

      1) you're line of thinking is correct. in theory, should be able to run 3x 1440p monitors at 144hz without issue. I would probably run it by iVanky customer support themselves though beforehand to make sure of that specific 4 monitor intense config feasibility. Note the monitors will need thunderbolt ports/usb-c or you will have to use a display port to usb-c or hdmi 2.1 to usb-c adapter like I did with my samsung odyssey neo G7.
      2) Just checked it out and went down a thunderbolt 5 rabbit hole 🕳️. Looks very exciting, but i don't believe current nor even upcoming M4 macbooks will come equipped with thunderbolt 5 so not sure I'd be able to provide any useful opinion for comparison as I don't use PC (presuming there's prob pcs out there already with thunderbolt 5).

      @@piotr.czechowski haha Piotr i'll assume you're joking. I thought I made it pretty clear that did not affect what I said. It supports more and can handle more because it has double the thunderbolt chips. I wouldn't say something is good or better or the best unless that was genuinely my opinion. That would go against my credibility as a reviewer 🤷

    Hey bro, do you think you could compare the Ivanky with the new Anker Prime 14-port? I have a MacBook Air M3 and the CalDigit USB-C Pro Dock, but I've had nothing but issues running the Cam Link and Rodecaster Pro 2.

      @@cakeojames4204 Hey James, funny enough I did consider that dock when i was shopping around but it's way less powerful and less ports than the Caldigit TS4 and iVanky FusionDock Max 1 that I mention in this video. I can confirm cam link works perfect on both of these for me. Can't say I've had the pleasure of buying my own Rodecaster Pro 2 quite yet 😍 but i've watched plenty of vids on it! The most powerful dock out now is the FusionDock Max 1 so I would go with that if I wanted to eliminate any shadow of a doubt as to whether I would run into issues. If I was more budget conscious I would maybe take a risk with the cheaper iVANKY FusionDock Pro 1.

    That monitor issue is a MacOS limitation. Ivankey is actually HDMI 2.1 but is advertised as 2.0 because macOS doesn’t allow HDMI 2.1 over thunderbolt/usb c. I hope that Apple patches that in the future.
