Review on πŸ’» Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station with Dual DisplayPort, 60W Charging for Windows and Mac - Compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, Aluminum Design by Joe Griggs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect work-from-home dock for your 15-inch MacBook Pro

This is a durable Thunderbolt Dock. A laptop connection is located on the back of the device. I want to be able to quickly remove my laptop from my desk and also easily plug it back in. I also like that the headphone jack is on the front, along with a USB-A port. The Gigabit Ethernet connection works without any problems. Charging: My 15" MacBook Pro (2017) came with a 96W charger. I suppose you could use it to charge *faster*, but the dock's 60W output is more than enough for my work too home (two displays, dozens of browser tabs open, Slack, Zoom, Office) and the battery stays at 100% Note Make sure you have a *Thunderbolt* cable (not USB-C) between the dock and Use your MacBook. Thunderbolt cable included. The white USB-C power cable from Apple power adapter is a USB-C cable. Only the Thunderbolt cable makes the DisplayPort output work properly with MacBook. I have first connected my white USB-C cable from the dock to my MacBook and the DisplayPort output didn't send anything to my monitor.I replaced that cable with the included thunderbolt cable and voila it worked.
