So, yeah, price. Thunderbolt accessories are expensive. Elgato accessories are expensive. Combine the two, and you know this isn't going to be a cheap device. It will cost you a cool $229.95, in fact. You do get a Thunderbolt cable with that, so you're up...

Clear limit to USB 3.0 performance, No FireWire or eSATA ports
Elgato's dock is certainly an appealing add-on for a MacBook. Its price tag is similar to other docks, but it's high enough to keep Thunderbolt docks in the realm of an indulgent convenience. Used with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac that has only USB 2.0 po...

Abstract: USB has, since the mid-1990s, been one of the minor wonders of the world. It's amazing that one USB port on your computer can, via a hub, run or charge as many as seven gadgets. The problem is that USB ports do get overburdened and cause little meltdowns...

limited audio quality, no FireWire, currently £20 more expensive than the same design from other companies
We've tried all four of the Thunderbolt docks currently available on the market, and found that Elgato's just nudges ahead in build quality and style. And while it seems to be based on exactly the same reference design used by CalDigit and StarTech, with ...
Elgato's Thunderbolt Dock is compact, with a useful array of well-spaced interfacing, so that it shouldn't be a problem fitting all your cables and thumb drives into it. With some encouragement, it even supports Windows 7, which isn't mentioned on the bo...
