Belkin Debuts New Compact Dock, Power Banks and More

Belkin today announced the launch of a range of new products, including updated power banks, over-ear headphones, and a GaN Dock, which is its most interesting new device.

The Belkin 11-in-1 Pro GaN Dock has a built-in power brick inside, so there is no bulky extra power supply that you have to deal with. You'll need to plug it in, but there's just one cable from the outlet to the dock, and then another for the dock to your computer.

The Pro GaN Dock offers up to 150W of charging, though only 96W is available from one of the single ports, with the rest of the power distributed to other ports for charging accessories. 96W is enough for even the 16-inch MacBook Pro, but it doesn't support the fastest charging speeds for the machine.

There are a total of 11 ports, including a 10Gb/s USB-A port, two 10Gb/s USB-C ports, a 5Gb/s USB-C port, a PD 96W USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio in/out port, an SD card slot, a micro SD card slot, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a gigabit ethernet port.

The dock supports up to three external displays at 4K 60Hz, or one display at 4K 120Hz or 8K 30Hz. There are two ports that support 7.5W charging, one port that supports 20W charging, and one port that supports 15W charging, so you can charge iPhones, iPads, and other accessories.

The dock is priced at $200, and it is available now from the Belkin website.

Belkin also announced new 10K and 20K Power Banks with a display and an included USB-C cable, along with 10K and 20K Power Banks that have integrated cables. Pricing on the power banks starts at $30, with more information available in Belkin's announcement.

Why would you put HDMI 2.0 and not 2.1 on a dock in 2025? Maybe because the protocol uses is USB C 10 Gbps instead of Thunderbolt 4 let alone Thunderbolt 5?

A $200 dock but not even USB4 or Thunderbolt. Half of the price goes to Belkin's name.

An article on MacRumors should really do more than regurgitate a press release, for example any Mac user would want to know, the Belkin website states ('https://www.belkin.com/p/usb-c-11-in-1-pro-gan-dock-150w/INC020ttSGY.html') on MacOS the 3 monitor ports will only work to mirror the same single display 3 times. Not very useful. Must be DisplayLink?

Belkin should have at least made this a USB4 uplink to the computer. This product is pretty much a fail, at least for any Mac user wanting to plug in more than one monitor.

I mean, "just a money thing" is a good reason, as far as Apple is concerned.

From a purely technical perspective, though, it kind of falls in line with fractional scaling in MacOS. It is clearly something that Apple could support, but since it would only be needed if you weren't running 100% Apple-branded hardware, then it isn't something they're going to go out of their way to support unless the wheels (that is, their customers) get squeaky about it.
$700 wheels shouldn’t squeak :p

Wow, yeah, that really would be worth mentioning.

Out of interest, why does this restriction only apply on MacOS? If it’s a limitation of the technologies used, how does Windows work around it?
