USB-C Docks?

[maka344]

Im new to the USB C game given my 2014 MBP had all the ports I needed.

I do remember some cheaper ports causing damage to the MacBooks recently.

Can you recommend a good one? I'm after USB and HDMI really. Don't need much else, is it best to just stick to the Apple one?

I just received this one: Caldigit dock
Havent been able to test it yet because my macbook still has to arrive.

I'm going to avoid any third party dongles/docks that powers the MacBook Pro. It maybe a must have for the 12 in MacBook but there's no need with the Pro since it has more than one port.

I would also not use anything that fits too tightly.

I'm only looking for USB A to C and HDMI. I don't need to power it as it has a second port.

 

[thats all folks]

either of these provide enough power for any of the new MacBook Pros

I doubt you will ever find a multi-port breakout that doesn't also supply power. that would be counter to the whole idea that Apple is selling (and USB C is promising).

the CalDigit linked above is similar but ignores the Thunderbolt signal (intended for computers such as the current MacBook).

Does anyone make a wirelsss USB-C dock?

CalDigit is what you want. I got mine last week and it is solid. You can almost get by with the $80 Apple USB-A/HDMI dock + a USB hub, but it would look a mess. The CalDigit has about all the ports you will need.

LOL - I can't tell if it's a serious question or not!
