In recent years, social media content generation has led to a significant rise in the number of creators, especially among prosumers and hobbyists. These creators shoot footage on their drones, cameras, and mobile phones, then do editing on their laptops.
Through extensive research, we found that most creators are looking for a comprehensive dock solution, ideally with 12 I/O ports to cater to additional displays, multi-card readers, and USB devices like a keyboard and mouse. A space-saving design is a must as well, especially for multi-monitor setups. The compact dimensions of the ASUS Triple 4K Thunderbolt™ 4 Dock DC500 allows it to be mounted on the rear of a monitor to further reduce workstation clutter.
Users can use the adjustable mounting stand to secure DC500 to desks of varying thickness, or on the rear of a monitor. The dock helps simplify cumbersome creative workflows, allowing creators to focus more on the task at hand.

Feature comparison vs. competitor or similar products:
1. DC500 is less than half the size of most 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 connectors
2. At 2.1 cm, it’s thinner than competitor devices, which have an average thickness of 2.3 cm.
3. DC500 is the first 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 dock to feature both a UHS-II SD and Micro SD card slot.
4. It is the first 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 dock to feature two HDMI 2.1 ports. Competing products only feature HDMI 2.0.
5. DC500 features 2.5 GbE, while other docks only feature 1 GbE.
6. DC500 is compatible with all ASUS notebooks that feature Thunderbolt connectivity.
7. DC500 includes an adjustable mounting stand that supports three modes: hanging, standing, and mounted, allowing creators to maximize their workspace. Competitor devices do not have an adjustable stand.
