I am considering getting a 14 inch M1Max MBP to use as a desktop replacement for my maxed out Mini 2018. I would likely use the OWC or CalDigit dock as the main connection point to connect to the external monitors etc. I have a couple questions though before I drop $5K...

First; has there been any heat or other operational issues with this model used in clamshell mode?

Second; Since the CalDigit dock is limited to 60 watts charging has anyone had any issues with that?

Third; Is there a consensus on the better dock for desktop use (CalDigit, OWC or other)?

Last; Any suggestions on a decent desktop stand for the MBP-14?

Thanks All!
