And using the USB-C ports for displays appears to have limitations according to the specs. Also, it does not seem to have Thunderbolt 3 pass-through since there is only one TB3 port. These are limitations and extra costs that do not apply to other docks. This dock also lacks HDMI, and says if you want to plug in HDMI through one of the two DisplayPort outlets you must use an active adapter. I like Plugable devices in general, and of course this dock has enough power for my own 13", but a dock sold at that price point should be able to power any current MBP. Multiple other companies above do offer it. If you are criticizing docks because you only want to look at old models and ignore the good ones, that is certainly your own personal problem, not a real world one.Īs for this Plugable being reviewed, there is no excuse for a new Thunderbolt 3 dock to lack the power for a 16" MBP. The current CalDigit dock mentioned by Wow321 also does provide enough power for all current MBP models. The current version does provide enough power for all current MBP models. It only provides 60 watts, but that was enough for my 13" MBP. I love it, one cable connects everything on the desk.
I bought an early OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock. The problem is not with Apple or the concept of docks, the problem is docks that are not up to date. Some of the earlier posts seek to tar all docks (or the concept of docks, or the port situation) with the same brush of docks not providing enough power.
