Review on 🔌 Brydge Vertical Dock for 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (2020-2016), featuring 2 x Thunderbolt 3 Ports by Jeremy Tang

I really wanted this to work. I had my eye on the vertical dock originally created by Henge forever. Although I've never bought this particular model before, it's now called the Brydge. I love the vertical docking feature, I love that there are 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports and this is my love for it. Connecting a Thunderbolt 3 cable that's connected to a powered device in a daisy chain doesn't work for me. I can see it's plugged in, but the battery status on my MacBook Pro 15 shows "Not charging". So I have to plug my MacBook Pro charger into the top of the computer to charge as I need both ports built into the Brydge to connect the TB3 to HDMI and my external hard drive which makes everything look like a mess. Even a few hours later, Brydge picks up my computer again and it's unplugged, assuming it's spring-loaded. I have to keep clicking it because it pops up automatically. This is very frustrating as it keeps disconnecting my external drive without properly ejecting it. I would prefer they remove this spring loading feature because it's clearly too much and doesn't hold the computer in place. It's either that or one Installing a lock switch on Brydge could prevent it from being automatically ejected between. o Shutting down and not being able to properly charge across chained devices is a major impediment and unfortunately not recommended.
