My nephew got the new Macbook, with its single USB-C port. I wondered what Apple was thinking. Our friends at Plugable wondered too, but unlike me, they are doing something about it — Kickstarting a USB-C universal docking station.

The 2015 MacBook and Its Single Port: Such a beautiful machine, yet limited in its potential with a single port that can be used for charging, one display output, or connectivity to a single USB device – but not all at once unless you obtain a $79 adapter cable from Apple.

With just a single USB-C connection, our Ultimate Docking Station and its included 60W power adapter can unleash the potential of your computer by providing up to three additional video outputs, gigabit Ethernet, and four additional USB ports to connect your other USB devices. (The dock can also simultaneously power and charge laptops and tablets that comply with the USB-IF Power Delivery specification!)
