Because I rather not have environmental damaging batteries in every device I use when my laptop has a big enough one to power them all and is close by at all times anyway.
Seriously, wireless protocols over a distance of <1 meter are worthless and unnecessary.
Let’s not rehash that argument. Use what works for you and let other people use what works for them. There is no right and wrong way that works for everyone
Two 4K monitors, a mic, a camera*, a personal yubikey, a work yubikey, an iPhone charging puck, and a spare port to occasionally charge the keyboard or trackpad.
*despite being TB4, the dock’s bandwidth is insufficient for a 4k camera stream running through an Elgato Camlink, so my dock (ascrono vertical docking station) has one of its ports going to the cam and the other to the hub
Why cables when wireless protocols do trick?

Agreed, just trying to post in the shitposting spirit 🤣
I have a MacBook Pro and use a CalDigit TS4 dock because I need more ports.
Woah that’s an expensive dock! What do you need it for?

Macbooks refuse to connect to more than one display over a USB-C dock, meaning you have to purchase a thunderbolt dock.
Or ditch the Macbook and get a proper computer without artificial restrictions.
