I have a current setup with two monitors and a dock from Amazon that was like $40 which works with two monitors. It works fine but it requires a lot of cords.

I had a Lenovo Thunderbolt Dock that was awesome but probably too overkill for what I need. Something similar would be amazing.

All I need is to connect two monitors via HDMI and and to have an extra USB and USB-C connection or two. That’s about it.

Also, and very important. It must only have one cord going from the dock to the MacBook. This is the whole reason I’m shopping.


Any advice on products like this would be great. Thanks
