    Re: Sapphire Technology launches TB3 and USB-C accessories

    I despise but grudgingly appreciate all these USB-C travel things. USB-C and TB3 are quite versatile, it's just that I have to lug around yet another adaptor for my laptop that has next to no ports on it. For the techs in the company, I draw the line at the laptops themselves not having ethernet ports as I've seen some weird network crap on USB-C and USB network peripherals.

    first thought when I saw what was available was... why no hdmi AND displayport model so we don't need to carry two adapters or another dongle etc.

    Not me. I've been trying to find a portable dock that isn't over 150 dollars and has DP, USB, and Ethernet at 4k/60hz speeds. The only other one close is the Plugable TB3 dock.

    Not sure of the need for Ethernet - get hundreds of mbps on wifi now, and have a TB3 dock (with ethernet) at my desk ... having said that, the X1 has ethernet with a dongle.
