Engadget Best Buy 2021
2021 was a year of good harvest with the announcement of many gadget products, including the iPhone 13 and MacBook Pro with M1 Pro/M1 Max.
Since products such as smartphones and PCs are deeply involved in our daily lives, it is important to choose them according to the purpose and usage environment.
This time, I would like to introduce 3 recommended accessories by genre that can further extend the performance of iPhone, Mac, and PC that I love as a Belkin employee.
No. 3 A docking station that brings out the full performance of the M1 chip
Belkin CONNECT Pro 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock
Price|¥43,980
The "Belkin CONNECT Pro 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock" is a convenient "docking station" when used with a MacBook that has a limited number of connection ports. This product supports Thunderbolt 4, which enables data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps.
・Solving the problems faced by M1
A MacBook with an M1 chip that was released in November 2020 and shocked the world with its high processing performance. Furthermore, in October this year, the 14/16-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M1 Pro/M1 Max, which can be called a "monster", was released. Regardless of the field, many creators have praised the M1-equipped MacBook series, and Apple's rapid progress is unstoppable. On the other hand, when using the M1 MacBook, I would like to pay attention to the linkage with peripheral devices.
For example, the latest MacBook Pro has a Thunderbolt 4 (TB4) port. Accessories that support TB4 have appeared on the market, but most of them can only support Macs with Intel chips, and there are few products that support M1 chips. In such a case, Belkin's TB4 compatible docking station "CONNECT Pro 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock" is recommended. Belkin has developed a docking station that supports the latest standards based on its many years of experience in developing Apple-related accessories.
・Wide compatibility that supports up to TB4 and TB3
This product was created through a strong partnership with Intel, and is compatible with not only TB4 but also TB3. Not only the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro / M1 Max, but also the MacBook Air with M1, iMac, iPad Pro, etc. can bring out the performance of compatible devices and achieve the best performance.
・Up to 8K, high resolution multi-display compatible
What is particularly noteworthy is the support for multiple displays. In addition to supporting high resolutions of up to 8K/30Hz for single displays and up to 4K/60Hz for dual displays, triple displays are also possible on compatible machines.
・12 ports in one
In addition, it has a total of 12 ports, including a USB-C port, SD card slot, and audio jack, so if you have this, you should have no trouble using peripheral devices. The perfection unique to the leading company in Apple related accessories is truly a masterpiece. Build a professional-quality “ultimate workstation” at home or at work.
