Video Description
I spent a couple of months using both the CalDigit TS4 and the CalDigit Element Hub as my primary docks connecting all of my workspace peripherals to my laptop with just one Thunderbolt 4 cable! In this video I will highlight the main differences between the two. I will share my experience using each of the docks from the perspective of a software engineer and a content creator. π π π π π π π π π π π Free cable organiser when you purchase on of the docks with my code: https://tryandbyte.com.au/collections/cablox/products/cablox-mini-white IMPORTANT!
