As an Intel® Evo™ certified Thunderbolt™ 5 dock, this Smart Dock provides seamless compatibility and optimized performance with Evo laptops. It also integrates a Wi-Fi IoT module that supports cloud-based device management, enabling IT managers to remotely monitor, update, configure, and diagnose devices through web browsers; thus providing exceptional efficiency and flexibility in corporate deployments.
