Not so solid if buying for Mac. It claims 2 display support, but mirror.
That's Apple's fault. They refuse to support displayport MST on their M# series CPUs, even though practically every Windows laptop made in the last 10 years supports this. For that matter Intel MacBooks support it.
Probably helps them sell more of their wildly overpriced monitors, which support thunderbolt display passthrough.
It's just one more aspect of the Apple Tax.
Thunderbolt at 10Gbps? That's the speed of the original Thunderbolt spec, i.e. "Thunderbolt 1". The standard is now at Thunderbolt 5 that can do 80 Gbps symmetrically or even 120 Gbps in an asymmetric configuration. This hardware seems grossly out-dated... While I don't think everyone needs to have the bleeding edge hardware, I think TB3 is the oldest you should consider buying... I suggest people pass on this deal. You don't want this old hardware...
