if I were to use that dock for my Macbook Pro and I connect it to a monitor / TV via the HDMI cables
Hello Lesryl,
The Mini Dock is powered by the computer it is plugged into and as such, it is unable to power the computer itself. You will have to use a separate charging cable.
Does it come with a cord to connect the dock to a thunderbolt port? Can I connect it to 2 monitors
I want to run two independent hdmi monitors off of my macbook pro with this Dock. Is that possible?
Hi Erin,
That's true, this Mini Dock allows for 2 HDMI monitors. They can both be independent and mirrored, depending on your preference.
Hello Matthew,
The Mini Dock should work on both Windows and Mac as soon as it's plugged in, assuming both your machines support Thunderbolt and drivers are up to date.
I need to use an Ethernet cable for faster Internet, I also need to plug in the USB of a Blue Yeti M
Apple's spec sheet for the MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) indicates it has a USB-C port, and not a Thunderbolt 3 port. Although they appear to be the same port, your computer will not be compatible with the Mini Dock.
This can get warm, but should not exceed temperatures of 100 degrees F.
No. This dock requires a Thunderbolt 3 enabled host device. As the iPad Pro only uses USB-C, this dock will not connect in that manner. If you’re interested for a dock that can do this, please check out our new USB-C Pro Dock that works well with the iPad Pro.
