OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
The 11 ports include three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI 2.1, 2.5GbE, USB-A and USB-C ports, an SD card reader and an audio combo jack. Spec-based reasoning: wired 2.5GbE takes venue Wi-Fi out of the equation on video calls. HDMI 2.1 drives high-resolution displays, and the audio combo jack takes wired headsets.
UGREEN Revodok Max 213
The 13 ports include two downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports, one 10 Gbps USB-C, four USB-A, 2.5GbE, SD and microSD 4.0 readers, DisplayPort 1.4 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Spec-based reasoning: a wired 2.5GbE link removes Wi-Fi as a variable on video calls. The downstream Thunderbolt ports can drive another monitor or a fast SSD, and the 3.5 mm jack takes wired headsets.
Build & Desk Ergonomics
- OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock8.5/10
- UGREEN Revodok Max 2138.5/10
OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
The dock uses a rugged, fanless aluminium case with the power supply inside, so it needs only a standard two-prong figure-8 power cord and a Thunderbolt cable. A fanless design adds no fan noise near a desk microphone. Figure-8 power cords are a common standard, so a replacement is easy to source.
UGREEN Revodok Max 213
The dock uses a metal enclosure and draws power from a 180 W GaN charger. It delivers up to 90 W to the laptop over the host cable. The brick still sits beside or under the desk. UGREEN specifies a metal enclosure. The SD and microSD readers and USB-A ports cover headsets, webcam dongles and flash drives that move between desks.

OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock
The dock works with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4 and USB-C hosts, including Mac, Windows PCs, iPad and Chromebook. OWC lists support for one 8K or up to two 4K displays. Display support depends on the host. Apple's base-chip Macs differ here: base M1 and M2 models support one external display, and later base models support two in some configurations, so check Apple's tech specs for your Mac.
UGREEN Revodok Max 213
Display support covers dual 4K at 60 Hz or a single 8K at 30 Hz, using DisplayPort 1.4 and the downstream Thunderbolt ports. Dual-display output depends on the host computer. Apple's base-chip Macs differ here: base M1 and M2 models support one external display, and later base models support two in some configurations, so check Apple's tech specs for your Mac.
