We're now on the second day of Prime Day sales, which run from Tuesday, July 8, and will run through Friday, July 11. Although most of not all of the best sales we've found happen to be on Amazon, were checking both Amazon and its chief competitors for the best deals.
I write, test, and recommend the best USB-C hubs and dongles, and do the same for the best Thunderbolt docks. For the past several years, I've been responsible for seeking out the best deals in both categories for Amazon's Prime Days, Black Friday, and more. I think it's fair to say that you'll find the best USB-C and Thunderbolt docking station deals right here.
Below, you'll find a list of deals, as well as a list of frequently-asked questions explaining what you should look for. This is an interesting transitional period! I don't expect anything unusual in terms of USB-C hub prices. Thunderbolt docks, however, are a different story: Thunderbolt 5 is arriving in the market, and older Thunderbolt 3 products (which are still somewhat viable) are being phased out. And yes, there are tariffs, which are in flux — although some just kicked in today and more may take effect on day 2 of Amazon's Prime Day sales.

Why should you care about what I've got to say? Fair question. I oversee all laptop and Chromebook review coverage at PCWorld. I also maintain our best laptop deals roundup daily, along with our best laptops of 2025 roundup weekly. That means I'm hunting for the best laptop discounts online every single day, so I'm pretty well-attuned to the landscape, while my hands-on knowledge helps me unearth the true gems.
