1/2
A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
By Emiliano · Revised Oct 2026One cable between the Zephyrus and the rest of the desk. That cable lands on the CalDigit TS4. Monitors, power, and the extras live there. I unplug one thing when I leave, and I plug one thing in when I sit down. Thunderbolt docks are a category full of near misses. Some lack ports. Some have the ports and a weak power supply. Some add a fan that sounds like a small appliance. The TS4 is the one that stopped the experiments. This is the spine of the desk, and I notice it only when I'm somewhere without it.
