You want a Thunderbolt 3 Dock for your Mac with connections for just about everything? OWC offers you a model with 14 different ports.
Of course the Upstream-Thunderbolt-Port, which leads to the Mac, was also counted. These are all the other ports you’ll get:
- 4x USB-A 3.1
- 1x S/PDIF Audio out
- 1x Gigabit Ethernet
- 1x Thunderbolt 3 for connecting further devices
- 1x Mini DisplayPort
- 1x SD card slot
- 1x microSD card slot
- 1x 3,5mm Audio
- 1x USB-A 3.1 on the front
- 1x USB-C 3.1 on the front
So there should be a suitable connection for each device. The Thunderbolt 3 for the Mac connection delivers up to 85 watts of power, so a 15″ MacBook always can draw enough power.
OWC has mentioned one limitation with the USB-C port on the front side: it only runs at 8 Gigabit/s instead of the usual 10.
OWC is now offering the dock for almost 300 dollars. The model with 12 ports is a bit cheaper. So if you don’t need a microSD card slot and a front USB-C, you can save a few bucks.
