Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The PowerExpand is the most reviewed dock in this ranking, and the listing gives the specification that decides most purchases: eight ports with two HDMI outputs for dual monitors, Gigabit Ethernet, microSD, USB 3.0 and 85W power delivery, in an aluminium enclosure weighing 90.7 grams and measuring 11.8 by 5.5 by 1.8 centimetres, under model number A83800A1.
Two HDMI ports and Ethernet in an aluminium body is the combination that makes a dock worth carrying: wired networking and two screens are exactly what a laptop lacks. At 90.7 grams it is light enough for a bag. At the time of collection it carried 37,087 ratings at 4.5 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 37,087 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.
