I’m sure we’re only a few years away from Apple selling us a MacBook Pro that’s merely an inert slab of aluminum etched with an Apple logo, whose utility will be entirely reliant on dongles, docks, and the good graces of Griffin, OWC, and Elgato. 85W will be enough to charge even the 96W 16in MBP.

The CalDigit Macbook docking station can also work as a hub for an external device, like a USB-C external hard drive or a Bluetooth keyboard. It offers five USB-A ports, an SD card slot, a microSD card slot, and a displayPort 1.4 port. The dream! An expensive dream, as it turns out. OWCs standard Thunderbolt 3 docking station has a great set of ports, and charges at a top-end 85W powerful enough for a 15in MacBook Pro. The CalDigit Macbook docking station is one of the many options for charging your MacBook Pro. One cable charges your laptop and also powers your USB hub, peripherals, and external monitor. Elgato’s Thunderbolt 3 Dock has 85W charging and a bunch of ports, but it costs $275 and also doesn’t include an SD card reader.Īll of these options are an expensive way to make your laptop “whole,” while also offering a convenient plug-and-play scenario.

Unfortunately, the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock only provides 60W for laptop charging. Register for a Coupon Code Buy a New Apple Docking Station at the best prices from Portable One, Inc. In comparison, OWC’s $299 dock includes some nice-to-haves like S/PDIF and FireWire 800, extra Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, and, most importantly, an SD card reader. That’s not a lot of connectivity for $199.
The dock provides a Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB-A 3.0 ports, HDMI, and an audio jack. This is one of the more unique docking stations yet, as it fits the MacBook Pro 16-inch perfectly on both sides and adds a whopping 16 ports for all kinds of connectivity. The title of this review post - MacBook Pro + iMac + Henge Docks Vertical Docking Station Awesome - says it all. Griffin’s new Universal USB-C Docking Station (as spotted by 9to5Mac) adheres to the USB-C PD 2.0 spec, and provides up to 85W of power (Apple’s official charger for the 15-inch MBP does 87W). Most notably, USB-C PD (power delivery) has rescued our Nintendo Switch batteries, fast-charges our iPhone Xs (irony, yes), and at long last given us portable fast charging for the juice-hungry 15-inch MacBook Pro. After a rough infancy of scattered compliance and confusing specs, USB-C is starting to, well, work.
