MacBook Docking Station Compatibility
These MacBooks support dual displays in clamshell mode and are compatible with the Dell WD22TB4:
- MacBook Pro (2016-2019, Intel-based)
- MacBook Pro 14"/16" (M1 and later)
- MacBook Air (M3 and later)
These MacBooks have a single display limitation due to hardware and macOS restrictions:
- MacBook Air (M1 & M2)
- MacBook Pro 13” (M1 & M2)
To enable multiple displays on these models, DisplayLink software and a DisplayLink-compatible dock are required. We do not stock Displaylink docks due to limited supply.
