Preferred Docks for M1/M2 Macs?

[Robdmb]

Was wondering if there are preferred docks that work best with M1/M2 Macs? I have a M2 14 MacBook Pro and am looking to get a reliable dock for it. Doesn't need a million ports but would like to have reliable ethernet. I had read some posts that some ethernet chips are more reliable that others. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hmmmm....
I can't answer for docks.
But...
If you just need ethernet, there are plenty of low-cost USB3-->ethernet dongles out there...

I just saw this just introduced: https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2023/04/04/introducing-the-microsoft-surface-thunderbolt-4-dock/

TB4? compatible with AS Macs? I'd be happy if someone were to try it and report back on how well it works

Will check out the new Microsoft one. I've also been intrigued by the OWC Thunderbolt Pro dock. It's only Thunderbolt 3 but not sure if that matters.
