The iVANKY FusionDock Max 1: A Smarter Way to Use Your Mac
If you use a Mac for work, chances are your desk has a few too many cables. You might have a power brick, monitor cable, keyboard, mouse, and maybe an external drive or two. Every time you pack up, you unplug each item individually. Then, when you return, the next day, or just hours later—you repeat the process. It works, but it’s a real pain! That’s where a dock like the iVANKY FusionDock Max 1 comes in. It lets you plug in once and instantly connect to everything else. It’s a simple concept that truly makes a difference.
The FusionDock Max 1 turns your MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, or Mac Studio, Mac Pro into a desktop-class workstation. It provides up to 96 watts of charging power. You can use it in or out of clamshell mode (lid closed or open) on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro and still drive external displays, run connected drives, and use a wired network without draining your battery. Or for your Mac Mini or Mac Studio, Mac Pro you can take advantage of additional ports and ease of access to them. Regardless of which Mac you use, you get the performance and convenience of a desktop without sacrificing anything.
Where the dock really expands your Mac’s capability is with displays. If you're using an M1 Max, M2 Max, M3 Max, or M4 Max chip, the dock supports up to four 4K displays at 60Hz refresh rates. It can also handle dual 6K displays at 60Hz. Another option is a triple 6K plus single 4K configuration. Even with a base-level M1 or M2 MacBook, the FusionDock Max 1 makes the most of your machine. It reliably supports a single 4K or 6K monitor at full resolution and refresh rate.
Most Mac users don’t need four displays, but the flexibility matters. I’ve used the dock with a single 6K display and a second 4K screen while running DaVinci Resolve 20 and Lightroom CC. Everything worked great, my projects were stable and responsive. If you work in design, coding, or media production, that level of output isn’t a luxury; it becomes part of your daily workflow. The dock enables those setups without requiring extra dongles or display adapters.
This dock is filled with powerful options via its 20 ports. On the back, you'll find dual HDMI ports, dual USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports (40 Gbps), and triple USB-A ports (10 Gbps). There’s also Gigabit Ethernet and audio out (both analog and digital). The front side features four USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports (two 40 Gbps and two 10 Gbps), two USB-A ports (10 Gbps), an SD and MicroSD card reader, and a headphone jack. This mix of ports provides users with numerous options and works well in most environments. During testing, I used an SD card to move RAW photos and backed them up to an SSD. I could preview them on the 4K monitor while editing 4K video on the 6K monitor. It was great not to have to attach dongles or look for adapters. Using a dock like this really expands my functionality and productivity. It should be noted that while the dock has a total of 6 USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, it has only 2 lanes of Thunderbolt at a time. If you use both lanes of Thunderbolt connectivity, your other four ports will act as USB-C ports.
Keeping your desk clean is another benefit. The FusionDock Max 1 eliminates the clutter of cables that comes with plugging everything directly into the MacBook. The Thunderbolt cables go into your Mac, and everything else plugs into the dock. This helps reduce visual clutter and makes it easier to switch work modes. When I step away, I unplug once; when I return, everything is online in seconds. There’s also the physical design to consider. The dock has some weight to it and sits solidly on the desk. It doesn’t shift around or feel flimsy. The smooth aluminum casing looks good next to my MacBook and remains cool to the touch while in use.
For many Mac users, a dock isn’t about flashy specs or benchmarks. It’s about making a tool you use every day easier and faster. The iVANKY FusionDock Max 1 does that. It eliminates the friction of plugging in and out all your devices, consolidating everything you need into one hub and quietly enhancing the way your desk works. Once you’ve used it for a few weeks, you don’t want to go back. If you’re ready to simplify your setup and boost productivity, consider adding the FusionDock Max 1 to your workspace today.
