...What is it with these docks/hubs that can only push 60w power??

OWC has long made devices for both Mac and Windows platforms, so it's not surprising -- the tagline says "ADD MORE THUNDERBOLT PORTS TO YOUR THUNDERBOLT 4 WINDOWS PC".

Still and all, the future holds a lot of cards, and we'll see next generation ports on the ARM-based Macs in the coming years.

Galileo, for example. Galileo and Figaro.

60W is the initial PD spec with the new Thunderbolt goshenridge chipset. It's not about Apple not supporting Thunderbolt 4 and more about there not being support for Goshenridge TB chipset on Mac yet.

also note that each of the TB ports it add all provide 15W of power out - so can use self powered or bus powered devices, all or mix, on all the ports.

Thunderbolt 4 is an even for PC cause now PCs with 'Thunderbolt 4' actually will have all the features of Thunderbolt 3..... that we already have on our Macs. I hope that makes sense....

I look forward to goshenridge chipset on the Mac. Apple is too vested in Thunderbolt for this not to happen... and when it does...

To be honest - we never expected to be releasing something like this for PC without also having it for Macs.... and that should be a relatively temporary thing in my opinion.

I am tempted to ask if the Apple silicon Macs will have TB4 at intro, but I don't think Larry can say yet.

My understanding is a port can't handle much more than 60 W and still transfer data. While it is an impressive standard over all, it can't be everything to everyone.

Thunderbolt 4 seems like a terrible name. Maybe Thunderbolt 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3+.
