Anker 777 Thunderbolt Docking Station (Apex)

Only one whitelisted hands-on review exists: PCWorld tested the Anker 777 Apex 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock and rated it 'Meh,' praising the sturdy ridged chassis, dual HDMI and extra downstream Thunderbolt port but flagging a second-display 60Hz failure, abysmal 4K60 YouTube playback, an SD write speed below its rating, and a high ~$350 price. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Sturdy, attractive ridged chassis with industrial-class build feel; Two HDMI ports plus an extra 40Gbps downstream Thunderbolt 4 port and a handy power button; Strong charging: 90W to the laptop and 20W fast-charging from the front USB-C port.

Flagged: Would not drive a second 4K display at 60Hz on one test laptop (display compatibility issues); Abysmal 4K60 YouTube playback with dropped frames, falling back to ~800p; Expensive at ~$350 MSRP, with the vertical stand a $30 extra.
