Dell SD25TB4 Pro Thunderbolt 4 Smart Dock

It just works!

I telework and use my home office setup for my work laptop and my personal laptop. I needed a replacement dock, as my prior 7 year old dock had started to fail. I originally purchased this same model new from another retailer, only to find that the Dell service tag was listed as having been sold in another country and that there would be warranty and service limitations for me in the US. I returned it and learned about the value of authorized resellers. They sell products that will receive Dell’s full (and pretty awesome) warranty. B&H was cheaper than Dell, and is an authorized reseller. So buying from B&H was a no-brainer. Shipping was free and the dock arrived in 2 days. Installation was basically plug and play. The dock is a new model and came with the latest Dell firmware. (Dell dock firmware utility can be downloaded from Dell to a Windows PC, if you want to check.) For my use case, I switch between a Windows PC and a MacBook. I used two USB-C to DisplayPort cables to run my two 32 inch monitors. After plugging everything in and connecting my Mac or PC, both monitors just worked. (On the Mac, I needed to authorize the Thunderbolt connection to the dock.) And for once, from the get-go, the orientation of the monitors was perfect without any adjustments in the display utilities for each device. Monitors are recognized quickly when plugging in an already powered on device. This is a quality dock with an excellent warranty from an authorized Dell reseller at a lower price than Dell. You just can’t beat it. Dell keeps on top of their firmware development, periodically releasing firmware updates, supporting their docks throughout their long service lives, even beyond the warranty period. Highly recommended.
