Somewhere between a dock and a hub, CalDigit's USB-C accessory is for connectivity on the go.

Our pick for the best laptop docking station, the CalDigit TS3 Plus, sets a high standard. And CalDigit doesn't stop there. The new SOHO dock — which stands for Small Office Home Office — is a far more compact alternative that is better suited for a life on the go. I've been using it for about a week to see how well it works, how it compares to CalDigit's other options, and where it stacks up against other portable USB-C docks and hubs.
