• missus has got a new work macbook air with usb-c ports, she needs to plug an older mini displayport apple monitor in to use as her second screen, plus ethernet, and some older usb dongles for upright mouse and numberpad.
    Found this Satechi one as it's got a built in mini displayport

    but the reviews aren't favourable, work is going to play for it (I presume) so wondering if they would spring for a caldigit usb c pro dock (though I can't seem to find any in stock), we'd have to use a displayport 1.2 to female mini displayport, but that's not a major issue.

    any other alternatives that get good reviews/ratings?

  • Would love some input on this as well. My googling ends up in buy-cheap-buy-twice so I'm thinking caldigit ts3/4 but £300+ for a f-n hub?!

  • We've been using similar satechi USB C hubs at work for a couple of years now. No real issues to report. I also have one at home that gets moved around machines and unplugged constantly with no issues. Although I only use the HDMI, not display port.
