OWC's ThunderBolt 3 Dock brings much needed expansion to new MacBook Pros
The new MacBook Pros are the most divisive products coming out of Apple in a long time. While many are delighted by the innovative new Touchbar, thinner and lighter form factor, faster processors, and redesigned trackpad and display; a large majority of pro users are bemoaning the deletion of ports in favour of Thunderbolt 3 ports and a stack of dongles. A solution that's sure to add even more cost to these new notebooks already hig price.
Other World Computing's ThunderBolt 3 Dock is one way to solve the lack of ports. This US $279 accessory brings an SD Card reader, an audio In/Out port, 5 USB 3 Gen 1 ports, a pro grade digital audio port, FireWire 800, Gigabit Ethernet, two Thunderbolt 3.0 ports (with 40 GB/s throughput) and a mini DisplayPort for good measure.
Understanding that professional users often have to work with legacy devices and specific peripherals and accessories, OWC's ThunderBolt 3 Dock, which has a two year warranty, is one of the best solutions to cover port anxiety and put the 'Pro' back into the MacBook.
