For now, this is only a pre-announcement ahead of IFA, but many of the specs and features of the Thunderbolt 5 dock called the PexarBolt Ultra are already known. Although this is not the first dock with a display, it is certainly the most premium one to date. Just recently the Screendock with a 5.5-inch display was launched on Kickstarter, but it can hardly be compared with the PexarBolt Ultra. While the Screendock is an inexpensive USB-C dock, the new Pexar dock will be one of the most premium Thunderbolt 5 docking stations on the market.
 

The PexarBolt will be funded via Kickstarter, although the campaign has not started yet. At present, visitors can only sign up on the preview website to be notified when the crowdfunding campaign actually starts. Pexar already revealed the regular and early-bird prices. The Thunderbolt 5 dock will apparently start at MSRP $649 once it reaches stores, whereas the earliest backers will only pay $479 for the Super Early Bird offers. However, they will have to accept the inherent risks of a crowdfunding campaign. The website also details compatibility with various MacBooks and Windows PCs. It is not yet known when the Kickstarter campaign will launch. A similar high-end Thunderbolt 5 dock but without the display was recently launched by Ivanky.
