....Amazon.

You'll need a thunderbolt 2 one for 4K at 60hz.

Something like this maybe??

Thanks. So whatever dock I get it must carry thunderbolt 2 and not HDMI?
What if it says display port? Is there a minimum version eg 1.2?

DP 1.2a is needed

Although I have seen very few of these around and it's usually thunderbolt 2 using DP1.2a protocol.

HDMI is still only doing 30ghz until HDMI 2.0 is released. If you can find one with that then all good.

I'm currently using a henge dock for my 2015 13"

The sd card slot is on the top now making it very easy to access.

Works perfectly.

You would need a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter for wired network.
I use the apple MD463LL

I was looking at the landing zone line of products:

http://www.landingzone.net/products/for-the-macbook-pro/dock/

it says it has MDp/TB pass-thru, so I'm assuming that's the same as plugging it directly in to the macbook?

anyone have any input?
