Compatibility: Plug and Play installation on any Chromebook/Windows/Mac/Linux hosts which support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) video output functionality.If you attach any adapter into the current version of the docking station, the adapter can be underneath the desk surface, so it is easier to hide all the cables and creates a much cleaner look.Įven without the adapter included into the Docking Station, the main functionality we wanted to achieve with this product, making it as easy as possible to switch between desk setup and working on the MacBook, was achieved.(100) Wavlink USB C Triple Display 4K 12 in 1 USB C Docking Station With DP & HDMI &VGA,100W PD3.0 Charging(85W for PC) USB 3.0 & 2.0 Ports, SD TF Card Reader, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio For Mac/Windows It simply didn’t look great no matter what we tried. We found that adding extra ports into the docking station made the entire station look very bulky and lots of cables were very visible at the back of the dock (above the desk). It is something that makes your desk look great.

The model we are selling now is beautiful, because it has a very slim and minimal design, similar to the MacBook. You simply switch your HDMI adapter for a Display Port adapter $15-20 (and they are oftentimes quite unreliable if compared to single HDMI adapters)Įxample 2: 1 Year after buying the docking station you buy a new monitor which you want to connect via Display Port. The total cost is $40-75, while docks that support dual monitors usually cost $100-300. It is actually more cost-effective and more future-proof to purchase the adapter separately from the dock.Įxample 1: If you would like to connect 2 monitors via HDMI, you need 1 USB-C to HDMI adapter ($15) and 1 USB-C to HDMI adapter that also has a charging port for your MacBook charger ($25-50). So those who only need few ports are paying extra for a lot of ports they do not really need. Most importantly, every added port makes the product more expensive. So it is very difficult to create a set of adapters that matches every user's need.īy sticking to 2x USB-C Ports, additional adapters, allow for flexibility so that the dock can support all kinds of setups, from simple to complex. Some need an Ethernet adapter and others don’t. There were 4 main reasons that made us decide against including the adapter:Įvery user has different needs. We wanted a solution to seamlessly switch between a desk setup and working on the MacBook itself, without touching any cables or crawling under the desk to unplug something. We were tired of plugging and unplugging cables. The first and most important thing to understand is why we made this dock in the first place. It’s also difficult to answer, so we want to take you a little bit behind the scenes into our thought process why we ended up not including a built-in adapter (we had actually completely designed and made prototypes with the adapter inside) We get this question a lot! It is something we have put a lot of thought into while designing this product.
