Title: USB-C/thunderbolt dock ?
Post by: chenks on January 17, 2021, 05:29:42 PM

anyone use and/or recommend a USB-C/thunderbolt dock for my laptop?
it's a Dell XPS 9360 and has 2 x USB 3.1 and 1 x USB-C Thunderbolt 3.1.
i'd need the dock to be able to provide at least the following connections.

1 x gigabit ethernet
2 x HDMI (or equivalent but not VGA) connections for connecting 2 x 1080p monitors
and preferably it'd be able to power/charge my laptop too (which the laptop supports via thunderbolt providing it has enough power to do so).

I have had one of these (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Charging-Delivery-Specific-Thunderbolt/dp/B01MQ2SF02) Plugable USB-C docks in use for a while and it has been excellent.

Not the cheapest but certainly an excellent piece of gear and PSU can actually charge a decent laptop, here is a review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfsJk-uYdyU)
