I'm replacing my 27 inch iMac with a M1 Macbook Air (already have it) and the new Apple Studio Display (on order.) For what I need to be able to do, my iMac has a bunch of old USB3 Type-A connected external drives connected. I also will need an SD slot (and a micro-SD would be good but not necessary too.) I have excellent Wifi but I also have accessibility to ethernet so being able to plug in a cable seems like it would be nice.
So I need a powered Thunderbolt dock right? Do I run a cable from the Macbook Air to the Studio Display and a seperate one to the dock? Or do I run one cable to the dock then from the dock to the display? What type of cables are these and what do you recommend? What type of dock do you recommend?
Sorry for all the questions but I've never attempted to run a monitor / desktop setup off a Macbook and its all a bit confusing what I should get. Thanks!
