- buildbot 5y agoBut it would be easy to make one yourself! Though fitting the port itself may be a challenge...
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoYet. They are just getting started. Plus their modules have an open design.
- pavon 5y agoI'm curious as to how those work out. The modules are too short to fit a VGA, serial, or ethernet port and be flush with the laptop, but I think you could make one that extends further out and above, and would still have some benefits over a dongle.
- yourapostasy 5y ago> The modules are too short to fit a VGA, serial, or ethernet port and be flush with the laptop... I'd be fine with a pop out style port for those ports. Won't be flush while in use, but I'd happily accept that to trade off having to carry around dongles. I'd rather pack and carry a small "stick" of these modules stacked together than a bundle of dongles. I give it three months tops before someone starts selling a Pez-like "dispenser" that stores these modules. If the module bodies were designed to stick together though, that would spark joy in my inner Marie Kondo.
- realityking 5y agoWhy carry a stick of modules instead of a single dongle[1] that has every port you'd need? 1: https://www.kensington.com/p/products/device-docking-connectivity-products/laptop-docks-usb-accessories/sd1650p-usb-c-single-4k-portable-docking-station-with-100w-power-pass-through2-1/ https://www.kensington.com/p/products/device-docking-connect...
