Thunderbolt 4 makes getting more from your laptop a breeze. Transfer files, connect an external monitor, and power your laptop all from a single port. That leaves plenty of ports free to accomplish all of your other tasks. Thunderbolt 4 even features compliance with a range of specifications including previous versions of Thunderbolt, USB4, DisplayPort, and PCI Express (PCIe).
Compatibility Information
- Compatible with Windows 10 laptops equipped with a Thunderbolt 4 port (Intel Evo Platform), and non-M1 MacBooks running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later.
- Not compatible with Linux or ChromeOS laptops, Thunderbolt 3 Windows laptops, M1/M2 MacBooks, or M1 Max/Pro MacBooks running macOS 10.16 or earlier.
Note:
- If you cannot detect the dock after updating to macOS Ventura, please follow these steps: Privacy & Security > Allow accessories to connect.
macOS doesn't support Multi-Stream Transport (MST), and as such, all content displayed via the HDMI ports will be mirrored.
- The table above shows the maximum supported resolutions. Actual resolution varies based on the specifications of the host device.
- MacBooks with the Apple M1/M2 chip only support single monitor display.
- Intel based MacBooks, Apple M1 Max/Pro MacBooks, and Apple M2 Max/Pro MacBooks support dual monitor display with extended desktop when using a USB-C to HDMI video adapter (not included). Connecting to two monitors using the two HDMI ports will only mirror your desktop.
- This dock can support up to three simultaneous monitor connections. The number of monitors that can be used with your laptop depends upon the power of your laptop and its graphics card capabilities. Not all laptops have the graphics capabilities to support multiple monitors and you may encounter display issues when attempting to use multiple displays.
Determining Your DisplayPort (DP) Version: The version of DP on your laptop, computer, or tablet directly determines the actual resolution when connecting to external monitors using the Anker hub. There are three simple ways to find out which version of DP your device has.
1. Ask your device manufacturer or seller directly.
2. If you're using a Windows device, you can tell which version of DP you have by checking your CPU generation.
- DP version 1.2 if your CPU is Intel generation 10 or earlier.
- DP version 1.4 if your CPU is Intel generation 11 or later.
- DP version 1.4 if you're using a workstation laptop with an NVIDIA GPU.
Don't know how to find your CPU generation? Simply go to This PC (or My Computer) > Properties and look for the number (shown in bold and underlined below):
Processer: Intel(R) Core i7-8850H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59Ghz
3. If you're using a MacBook, iMac, or iPad, you can find your DP version from the list below:
DP 1.4: iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017 and later), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, 2020), MacBook Air (2020), MacBook Air (13-inch, M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021), MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 and later), iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017 and later), and iMac Pro (2017 and later)
DP 1.2: iPad Air (4th generation), MacBook Air (2018 and later), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016 and later), MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016), iMac (non-Retina, 21.5‑inch, 2017), and Mac mini (2018)
- 90W Max Charging: Use a Thunderbolt 4 cable to keep your laptop powered up while you’re working.
- The USB-A data ports do not support charging.
FAQ
Q1: Can this dock support fast charging for my devices?
A1: This dock supports up to 90W of charging via the Thunderbolt 4 upstream port on the front of the dock (indicated with a computer icon). This means that if your laptop comes with a 100W or above power adapter, the charging speed will be slower than you’re used to. The USB-C Power Delivery port (indicated by “PD”) supports up to 20W fast charging for your phone. The Thunderbolt 4 downstream port supports 15W charging for smaller devices.
The USB-A data ports on the back of the dock do not support charging.
Q2: Will this dock work with any laptop? What kind of cable should I use to connect the dock to my laptop?
A2:No, this dock only works with Windows laptops equipped with a Thunderbolt 4 port (Intel Evo Platform), and non-M1 MacBooks running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later. It is recommended to use a Thunderbolt 4.0 cable.
Q3: How to deal with screen drop, black screen, or screen flickering issues when connecting to an external monitor?
A3: After the dock has just been connected to the external monitor, it's normal for there to be some degree of flickering. It should go away in a few seconds. If this problem persists, try lowering the resolution.
If you experience any screen issues after waking up your laptop, restart the dock. If your laptop or the docking station has not been shut down for a long time and you’re experiencing screen issues, please restart the dock.
Q4: Sometimes the dock doesn’t automatically reconnect after I wake up or restart my laptop. What should I do?
A4: This situation doesn’t happen very often, but if you are having this problem, try disconnecting and reconnecting the Thunderbolt 4 cable.
Q5: Why does the dock feel warm?
A5: When charging or transferring data at high speed, the dock’s temperature may increase. Don't worry, this is within the normal limits of the dock’s operation. To avoid excessive heat, make sure not to place any objects on top of the dock or to cover the dock with anything.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The unit was sent back to Anker for a full refund. I cannot fault their support (thanks Alyssa). But, the bottom line is that I could NOT get this dock to drive the TV in my offjce. See below for details.
I wanted to like this dock. It is made well. HOWEVER, HDMI just doesn't work. I have been talking with Anker tech support. They had a variety of suggestions to troubleshoot however this was of no help.
I have now tried 4 different HDMI cables from the 777 into the TV in my home office. I tried both HDMI ports on the 777.
NONE of these cables to the TV work when connected to the 777. ALL of the same cables work when directly connected to the HP laptop. One of the cables that I tried also works when connected to my Vankyo projector. That same cable also works when connected to various TVs in locations where I teach.
I do NOT have DP to HDMI cables or USBC to HDMI cables and do NOT want to go on a cable hunt just to test out this Anker device.
The common denominator that fails is the 777 dock, therefore I CANNOT recommend this dock.
I have a variety of Anker products and like the brand a lot. HOWEVER, although I like the dock itself...it's no good to me as it just doesn't work with the HDMI ports.
I now have a separate part of Anker offering a refund. I had previously sent back both the dock and stand to Anker in Ontario, CA as directed by Anker support. They processed a refund BUT only for the dock and NOT the stand. I’m still trying to get the refund processed for the stand. Maybe if others return this dock and stand….they should go through Amazon and not Anker…that is probably much easier?
I still like Anker products and have used quite a few in the past. I will continue to use them as my needs dictate.
UPDATE 2/8/2023
I have found out after returning the Anker 777 dock that it "may" have been OK with HDMI.
HP states that my laptop has "(2) USB4™ with Thunderbolt™ Gen 4 Type-C port; 40 Gbps signaling rate (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort™ 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge) "
One would think that from item 2 above that both the Thunderbird4 ports are identical, right?
I can tell you that HDMI via the dock works OK to my office TV when the Thunderbolt4 cable supplied with the dock when plugged into the Thunderbird4 port on the right side of the HP laptop. It does NOT work when plugged into the port on the diagonal right rear corner of the laptop. This leads me to the conclusion that either that corner port is faulty or is just NOT the same as the port on the right side of the laptop.
I have raised my review to 4* on Amazon and posted this information there also. I hope that this may help you or another customer.
Between all those and the charger as well, the portability was basically lost as it was such a pain to move the laptop to actually use as a laptop.
Now that I have this, it's just one plug to grab the computer and go wherever I want. It's been working great for me. My only complaint is that (at least on the MacBook Pro) the two HDMI only put out a mirrored signal, and I still have to use the USB-C/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get two separate displays to work. Not sure why that is the case but from the research I've done it seems the only way for it to do dual monitors for MacBook. Outside of that there is nothing to complain about.
One little bonus - our MacBook Air came with USB-C charging only, but the new MacBook Pro came with a separate charger and I was not expecting that the thunderbolt ports would allow charging via the 777 - but it does! I was expecting to have to keep the charger and the thunderbolt going to the 777 to have this work, but I don't even need to use the Apple charger since the thunderbolt does take the charge as well.
Overall, I wish it wasn't so expensive, but it is a great convenience if you move your computer around much at all.

My only wish would be to see a dock with some DisplayPort capability and not just HDMI.
Otherwise, excellent product as always from Anker.
USB port is not working for bluetooth keyboard.
Cannot connect my monitor using HDMI port.
i have another $30 USB C hub and everthing works on it... not really worth the money.
The only thing positive about it is the look.
I do not recommend
