“Thunderbolt 5 gives you tremendous performance and capability. The real question is what you do with it,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing (OWC). “With the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI your laptop is no longer the compromise. One connection gives you the displays, storage performance, networking, power, and connectivity of a serious desktop workstation – without the pile of adapters and workarounds. We didn’t set out to build another Thunderbolt 5 dock. We set out to build the one professionals will measure the others against.”
O’Connor added, “This addition to our dock line-up is a result of customer feedback. Our goal is to continue to ensure our customers always have a choice when it comes to picking the solution(s) that best meet their individual desktop/workflow requirements.”
