Pros & Cons

Usb type-c works with my ipad over usb-c; converting it into a desktop computer. The headphone socket is on the front if you use wired headphones or microphones on a 3. Inch ipad. It is plug and play.

Highlights
Quality

The dock plug is a hefty thing too it sticks out the back of the dock such that youre not going to be able to put the dock within about 60mm of a vertical surface

Unfortunately ive not managed to bottleneck the thunderbolt 4 port transferring files instead being limited by the speed of my sd card 180mbs write 235mbs read which is nowhere near the 5000mbs theoretically possible
