trust me, it's worth every penny. when i started looking for a good "dock" for my mbp, everybody recommended the TS3 but i was like "$279?! screw that i'm going to use an anker USB-C hub with PD and HDMI out for $50!" and that's fine, but not for an everyday solution. with the anker, sometimes monitors won't wake up, the PD underperforms because the hub takes power, you can't really daisychain another USB hub, etc.
then i finally broke down and got a cheap refurbed TS3 and holy cow, it's a game changer. i have literally not had one problem with it. i come to work, put my MBP down, plug in ONE cable and i'm off. I have 3 2560x1600 external monitors, plus a ton of USB devices because I have a 10 port USB hub under my desk.
there's so much bandwidth to spare with the Thunderbolt 3 40Gb/s... it can do things you just can't do with regular USB-C hubs, there's just not enough bandwidth.
plus it has ethernet, optical audio and a super high speed SD card slot that supports UHS-II SD. the thing is a beast and at $200 brand new? its a no brainer. if you're thinking about it, pull the trigger. if you use your laptop as a main machine regularly, this is such a quality of life improvement.
PS: I know this sounds like an ad, but I am in no way associated with caldigit... i just like when you spend a long time searching for a solution and then you find it. Smilie (but if you work at caldigit and want to bribe me with discounts, im happy to be a shill for you, PM me)
Still has DisplayPort 1.2 and TB4 is now out. If you are gonna drop this kind of cash for a dock, wait a few more months for future-proofing. New gen of TB4 docks will be out from various dock makers by then.
Edit: I posted this later but am adding it here for clarity. This dock was released in Feb. 2018 (https://www.windowscent

Thunderbolt licensing costs plus limited market.

It has a power supply to charge a laptop over USB-C and does DisplayPort up to 5k 60hz. If you just need some USB ports this is total overkill. If you need a 1-connection docking station to charge and display, this is a good one.

It's a literal plug and play, one cable solution. Many of us use powerful laptops that function as desktop replacements. We plug in entire desktop setups with chargers, monitors, keyboards, speakers, external hard drives, etc. Docking stations take the headache out of unplugging and then plugging everything back in when you actually need to use the laptop in a mobile setting. It's simply one cable instead of 5 or more...
Having one cable to plug is amazing! However the audio coming out of this is far inferior than connecting directly to my mac.
