Don't buy for 16 " MacBook

This product might work for other laptops but MBP 16 is mentioned directly in their marketing material. And this product "works" with it. I have had the product for 2 weeks now and here are all my problems - 50% chance when plugin or docker machine kernel removal panics and crashes.(This is stated in their troubleshooting guide and their suggestion is to disable all HDMI ports before connecting to the car making their product irrelevant Why would I spend $250 on a dock that supports single cable bundling when I have to connect 3 cables each times) - Network doesn't work after hibernation. You need to restart your computer and unplug the ethernet cable for it to work. Also my Bluetooth devices are now having connection problems. I I never had a problem before I started using this dock, but now I'm getting random disconnects and I need to restore them for them to connect. Pluggable I'm getting some or even all of these issues through no fault of your own, and I've already yelled at Apple. But don't advertise that your product works with MBP 16 if it doesn't.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
