The dock connects to a Mac or PC with a single USB-C cable and provides access to the following five ports:

  • 2× USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports

  • 1× USB-C port for power

  • 1× HDMI 2.0 port

  • 1× SD card reader

The USB-C port provides up to 60W of pass-through charging, while the HDMI 2.0 port can drive a 4K display at 30Hz.

The compact-sized dock is available on MacSales.com in MacBook-like Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and Space Gray for $49.99 in the United States.

It's also available on Amazon in select colors.

I'm so glad Apple made their pro laptop a millimeter or two thinner, so that I can have this box as a companion.

does anyone know if there is a dock that has a detachable USB-C cable? A lot of these docks have really short cables and I'd like to be able to put a longer one to hide the dock behind a monitor.

Ugh. Seriously OWC?? It's either 1.4 driving 4K30 or 2.0 driving 4K60.
Until USB-C hosts with DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 support come along, you can't get 4k@60Hz down a USB-C cable and have USB 3 data at the same time. So maybe it is technically HDMI 2.0 hardware-wise (i.e. a DisplayPort-to-HDMI 2.0 converter) but OWC have had to peg it at 4K@30Hz because at 60Hz all the other ports would have to be throttled back to USB 2 speed.

"The HDMI 2.0 port can drive a 4K display at 30Hz."

Ugh. Seriously OWC?? It's either 1.4 driving 4K30 or 2.0 driving 4K60. In this case, it's definately an HDMI 1.4 as USB-C driving HDMI 2.0 needs to support display alternate mode.

So, now I have to carry a smaller laptop around, along with a bunch of boxes and cables.

Until USB-C gets more mature (if ever), this sure seems like a big step backwards. If it weren't for wanting TB3 architecture, I'd immediately order a 2015 MBP. These new models seem to be balls of trouble, so now I wait until next year? And, wonder if Apple even cares enough anymore to fix the problems (or if that's even possible given the direction they've gone).

For the first time in like 30+ years, I don't have a clear path of what to buy in terms of the Apple platform. :(
