- eastbound 4y agoThe legendary dongle! The one that serves as a docking station! I’ve heard of this one, a major company here has it. Even for them, they had their IT team to research it, and it’s valued $300 on the internal resale forum. So, the magic dongle that delivers the USB-C dream is ultra expensive and rare and only worth finding if you have 6000 employees to provide.
- expensive_news 4y agoNo, I bought a dongle on Amazon that I use for my M1 Air for $60. It takes up both USB-C ports, but it handles power, can do 4K@60Hz HDMI (only for 1 display though), has an SD card reader, a few USB-A ports, and maybe another USB-C port. More ports than I’ve ever had to use. The read/write speeds aren’t best in class, but it was only $60. It’s nice to only have to unplug one thing to be able to take my laptop somewhere, and I like the 2 port design more than I thought I would.
- duskwuff 4y agoWhat you want is a Thunderbolt dock. Be warned that they aren't cheap. Most of the good ones cost $300 - $400; I'd recommend looking at options from Caldigit and Anker.
