Ugreen Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 review: A great solution for photographers but there are compromises

The Maxidok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is part of a new lineup of docks that Ugreen released in March 2026. It's designed for the average high-end laptop user who wants the speed of Thunderbolt 5 without the bulk of a massive station. It'll also appeal to the person who is on a limited budget but still likes the idea of a minimalist desk setup.

The docking station offers a reasonable range of ports, although the lack of native HDMI is disappointing. Depending on your monitor setup, that might not be a dealbreaker, and you can always buy an adaptor if it is. On the subject of monitors, it does boast support for dual 6K (macOS) / 8K (Windows) monitors, which is impressive.

100W power delivery is good but not excellent and, alongside the missing HDMI port, is one of my biggest gripes. Let's be realistic, though. Ugreen had to limit the features somewhere; otherwise, paying more money for their 17-in-1 alternative would become pretty pointless.

If it's Thunderbolt 5 technology that you're after, then take a look at our reviews of the CalDigit TS5 Plus Thunderbolt 5 Dock and Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station.

Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1: Design & Handling

If I'm ever looking for a docking station, power bank, or charger, then Ugreen will be my absolute first port of call, with Caldigit following a close second. They are designed and built so incredibly well that I lack no assurance that they will stand the test of time.

The Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 follows in this vein without compromise. Opting for a robust zinc-aluminum alloy enclosure, the dock sits firmly on the desk and feels more like high-end audiophile equipment than a standard computer peripheral.

Other than the discreet on-button at the front of the dock, there's not a single bit of plastic in sight. The chassis oozes class with a minimalist two-tone design, blending a sleek space-grey case with a much darker grey for the text.

The choice of materials goes well beyond aesthetics, with the dense metal shell acting as a massive passive heatsink, essential for managing the significant thermal load generated by the 120Gbps Thunderbolt 5 controller and 100W power delivery.

One of the most notable design choices is the integrated host cable, which could be argued as a positive, but I've put it down as a negative. I appreciate that having the Thunderbolt 5 cable built-in and non-removable guarantees a permanent, stable connection, ensuring that the host cable cannot be misplaced or swapped with a lower-spec USB-C cable that might throttle performance.

But my issue is, what if that cable fails? Well, then you would need to buy a whole new dock, which, as you could imagine, would be seriously frustrating. Ugreen has made a number of attempts to mitigate this, including using a weaved cable sheathing and putting a durable rubber connector where the cable enters the dock. But whether these two factors will be enough, only time will tell.

In terms of the ports, Ugreen has opted for three USB-A ports at the front alongside the two card readers. This makes sense, although I would have swapped one of those USB-A ports for a USB-C. The rear features all the permanent connections, including the DisplayPort 2.1, dual Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, and Gigabit Ethernet.

You'll notice the distinct lack of an HDMI port, and even though you could buy a DP to HDMI adaptor, this can cause problems with the resolution, refresh rates, and graphics card detection. If your setup depends on HDMI, then buying a dock with a native port would be advised.

Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1: Performance

The Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 performs incredibly well. I tested the data speeds by transferring photos and videos to an external SSD. I was able to achieve around 900-950MB/s, which isn't far off the approximate maximum of 1,250MB/s. At these speeds it was possible to transfer a 10GB 4K video file in less than 15 seconds. Achieving these speeds will of course require a fast NVMe external SSD.

One of the primary features of this 10-in-1 dock is the dual display that offers up to 8K resolution on Windows and up to 6K on macOS. Users can choose to utilize the Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports on the back to make this happen or use just one of these alongside the DisplayPort. I had no problems connecting my MacBook Pro using the dock's display functionality.

Total power delivery is 140W, but a single device maxes out at 100W. This will be more than sufficient for most laptops, although if you have anything like the 16-inch MacBook Pro, then you won't be able to take advantage of its ability to recharge at 140W. It's worth checking your specific laptop to see if you'll be affected by this limit, and only you can decide how important super-fast charging is to you.

The dock is capable of charging much more than just a laptop, but if you're using two Thunderbolt USB-C ports for displays and your devices are mostly USB-C-enabled, then you might need some USB-C to USB-A adaptors. You'll be fine if it's just a phone, but as soon as you throw other devices, such as smartwatches and the like, into the mix, you might start running out of ports.

The dock operates in complete silence thanks to an intelligent passive cooling system. The internal components are thermally bonded to the metal exterior, allowing heat to dissipate evenly across the surface. This solid-state cooling approach is incredibly effective, so much so, that you won't even know it's there.

Using the Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 is like driving a basic Ford Fiesta rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Both cars will get you to where you need to go, but the Fiesta offers a much simpler and stripped-back set of features to get you there. This is evidenced by the missing HDMI port, the non-detachable Thunderbolt cable, and the power delivery that tops out at 100W.

None of these are performance issues but rather design decisions that Ugreen has made to exclude certain features rather than include them. Ugreen hasn't made those choices because they want to make a 'bad' product but, instead, because they want to make a more affordable device that appeals to a specific set of people. More power-hungry users can always go for the 17-in-1 alternative.

Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1: Verdict

The Ugreen Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 is a high-performance Thunderbolt 5 docking station that is ideally suited to photographers and videographers who work with multiple displays and are regularly transferring files between devices.

The premium and durable all-metal chassis is an attractive choice for creatives who want a clutter-free desk without sacrificing the cutting-edge bandwidth required for large 4K video files and high-resolution workflows.

However, its focus on affordability and a small footprint leads to several notable trade-offs. The dock lacks a native HDMI port, relies on a non-detachable host cable that could be a point of failure, and tops out at 100W power delivery.

While these compromises are intentional design choices to distinguish it from Ugreen’s more expensive models, users with HDMI-reliant setups or high-wattage power needs will need a more feature-rich alternative.
