The only downside is that the Thunderbolt port on the 9560 is two PCIe lanes instead of 4. I'd wager it's because of the GTX 1050 inside using some of them. Oddly, the only XPS laptop with 4 lanes to the Thunderbolt port is the XPS 13 9365 2 in 1.
If you ever want more oomf graphics-wise at your desk, grab the Gigabyte Gaming Box with a GTX 1070 inside. You get HDMI, DisplayPort and two DVI ports to keep permanently connected to your desktop displays as well as 4 USB 3 ports (one with QuickCharge 3.0) to keep connected to your keyboard, mouse, external drives, and other peripherals. I'd wager you're doing most of that with your docking station now, but the Auroros Gaming Box is a crazy deal at $599 for anyone that wants more GPU at the desk or doesn't have a discrete card in their laptop but has TB3.
- Rjevski 9y agoIf you've already got the GPU you can also get an enclosure without an embedded GPU - lookup "Akitio Node". It still feels expensive for what it is but less than the Gigabyte one assuming you already have a GPU.
- Kudos 9y agoI think you meant Auros instead of Auroros, link for the lazy: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070IXEB-8GD#kf https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070IXEB-8GD#kf

- jamiek88 9y agoOne single thunderbolt 3 connection. I love thunderbolt, now it's been opened up hopefully it'll be in a lot more chipsets.
