Satechi back to school sale takes 20% off must-have Apple gear
As students begin to prep their everyday carries and studystations for the fall semester, Satechi today is launching its annual back to school sale to make all of the essential upgrades a bit more affordable. Right now, you can take 20% off everything the retailer has to offer. Amongst all of the savings, our top pick is the Satechi Thunderbolt 4 Dock at $240. Down from $300, this is one of the very first price cuts to date on the recent release. The accessory has been out of stock through all of the past site-wide sales, making today’s $60 discount all the more notable for bringing this accessory to your workstation.
Featuring Thunderbolt 4 tech, this dock can turn a single port on your MacBook into a wide range of I/O. All packed into a metal enclosure are three Thunderbolt 4 ports, three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 slots, Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card reader, and more. Not to mention 96W of power passthrough to your machine for a single cable setup. It’ll also pair perfectly with the 24-inch M1 iMac above.
