I use my Intel 13inch Framework full time at work. When I’m in my office I have been plugging it into an Anker 575 USB C dock to run two 1080p monitors, wireless mouse, wired keyboard, ethernet and a set of speakers with a built in USB DAC.

This is the second Anker dock I have had fail on me. The first one Anker swapped out under warranty. At this point I know Anker will make it right but I’m not sure I even want to mess with another of their docks.

So my question is, what docks are you guys using for your Frameworks? I’d like to stay in a relative budget of $300ish. I’ve also been looking at iVANKY docks as they are priced right and have the I/O I’m looking for. But I’m looking for some advice from people who might utilize their machine like I do.

Thanks in advance!

    I’m rocking a CalDigit TS3. I dont need tremendous speed so it works to just have a single thing to plug into my FW13. 2x 1440p monitors, DAC, Mic, Keyboard, Mouse, Ethernet, and power delivery.

      Are you on Linux? Both monitors are connected via the dock?

      I’m asking cause I have a TS3+ and I’m getting an EDID error with my monitor over the dock. Over normal HDMI or DP it’s fine…

    I gave the Dell TB4 dock. It’s mostly pretty good. I have to reboot it periodically, but that may be because it’s not playing well with Linux

    Damn, I ordered the same one. Anything I can do to stress test it? To make sure it will last?

      You notice issues within 2 weeks if it’s a bad one. HDMI will start disconnecting.
