    There is a lot of empty PCB in that design. They could at the very least add 1 more port on each side if they wanted to. The audio solution is also taking up quite a bit of space.

    Agai with the TB5. Those hubs cost $200+ and some even require external power. It’s a good option to have. It’s bad if it’s your only option.

      Empty PCB? You can’t see the other side of the logic board in this video. All reputable computer manufacturers use circus design on PCBs.

      The cost of the dock is high because the tech is new. I don’t believe I need to explain the cost curve of advancing technology to you.

        You don’t need to explain why it’s expensive but you do need to explain why it’s suddenly necessary instead lf an option.
