Thunderbolt 5 is a powerful interface. It's also an expensive one. Available only on the latest devices, and with limited availability today, it took me a while for one to land on my lap. When one did, with the Alienware 15 Area-51, I began my search for a hub that might let me take advantage of its high-speed capabilities. As I discovered, a Thunderbolt 5 hub runs anywhere from expensive to 'good lord, they can't be serious, can they?'
The Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock Chroma I'm looking at today is more the latter at $400/£400. But do cheaper Thunderbolt 5 hubs come with RGB lighting? They do not—at least most I've seen.
