I have an LG 4K monitor, a MacBook Pro, and Sony headphones that charge over USB-C, so in that scenario USB=C has been bliss.
But with older machines/monitors, I need a pile of adapters. Still, I like it-for the most part.
The worst thing about USB-C is the dock situation for laptops. None of them are perfect, and most of them are garbage. $200-300 is a bit hard to swallow when I've been buying Lenovo docks for $50 for the longest time, but today's laptops don't have the docking port on the bottom.
- martin_a 6y agoAre you using a Lenovo USB-C dock? Are you happy with it? My work laptop is a Dell and their USB-C dock seems to work just fine (at least for me).
- bluedino 6y agoI'm not, but we have Lenovo USB-C docks at the office, as we have Lenovo laptops. They're all buggy. I'm still using a traditional dock as mine hasn't been upgraded yet so I still have the port.
- falcolas 6y agoI have an Anker hub/dock (HDMI, ethernet, USB-A), and it works fairly well. A bit noisy for a lower quality (i.e. poor power filtering) USB sound card. It does not provide USB-C power pass-through, however.
