I used the Acer Chromebook 514 with a few Anker docking stations, USB-C hubs by Aukey and Uni, and also with a Dell UltraSharp 27 USB-C Hub Monitor, and it worked fine with all of them except a couple instances of pass-through charging not being recognized. While the Mac-like configuration means that your USB-C hub or docking station will have to plug in on the left side, it also opens up Chromebooks to a much wider range of accessories, since Thunderbolt is the preferred spec for most top-quality docking stations because it supports twice the data transfer speed, meaning you can support more peripherals and external displays through one cable.


The Acer Chromebook 514 is the first Thunderbolt Chromebook I've had the privilege to test out, and so far, it's a welcome addition.
