About the Episode

If you’ve ever wondered why your cheap USB hub doesn’t cut it anymore, this conversation is for you. Kensington’s Mike DeCristofaro joins Marc Aflalo to break down the real-world difference Thunderbolt 5 makes — especially for creators, gamers, and anyone tired of juggling dongles and ports. From massive video file transfers to powering dual 6K displays, learn why Thunderbolt 5 is more than just a speed boost — it’s the dock solution you didn’t know you needed.
