 Well, you guys know I love a good Thunderbolt 3 dock. I believe I've tested five of them so far, and I challenged Bernie Thompson from Plugable. Can he make me excited about yet another dock, and he says that he can? Absolutely, because it's not a fully refined technology yet, or at least it hasn't been until this. So, you know, we've been working on Thunderbolt 3 since the beginning, and this is now our second major generation of Thunderbolt 3 dock, and there's been a couple outstanding problems in the industry, and maybe you've run into some of them. Number one is USB-C versus Thunderbolt 3 confusion. What? People are confused. Why? The port looks the same, but then, you know, it's a different size. And the naming conventions are so annoying. Yes, they are. Yep. I did a blog post called, Just Because You Plug It In Doesn't Mean It'll Work. Exactly. No, and it's a huge problem with USB-C, and it's kind of baked into the design. It's been solved here actually by Intel with the new Titan Ridge chipset, which supports USB-C and Thunderbolt 3, either one from a device. And this dock is one of the first wave of Thunderbolt 3 docks that uses Titan Ridge, and so supports USB-C also with the same docks. You can move around to the different ports, and they all do both? Yes. The port back to the host, and all the functionality on all the downstream ports. The other major industry confusion has been HDMI versus DisplayPort. Unfortunately, you know, neither tech... Did they hate us, the people who invent this? You know, a lot of times you get these like Sony versus Betamax type things, and one technology wins out. Well, it's been a lot of years now, and HDMI DisplayPort is splitting the market. Yeah. Yeah. You sort of wish one of them would just win, right? Absolutely. So this dock actually supports both equally. So it has a total of two displays out, but it actually has four graphics outputs, an HDMI and a DisplayPort option for each of the two ports. Oh, okay. So you could do one of each, two of the same, two of not the same. Exactly. Any combination. So no matter what type of monitor you have, HDMI or DisplayPort, this dock supports it, which eliminates that second major frustration. The third major frustration has been, USB power delivery is very flexible, but okay, so something is 60 watt, 85 watt, 94 watt. Does this dock really charge my laptop, and does it charge at the full rate? So we're just supporting the maximum USB-C power delivery rate. So for you. That's what I'm talking about. My 16-inch MacBook Pro is a beast, and I need it powered. Exactly. That one, Apple jumped up to 94 watts with that one. This dock charges that MacBook at 94 watts at its full rate. Wow. Now that's what I'm looking for. I think you can back up now or here a little bit. We can take a look at the dock. The first thing I got to say about this dock to the audio listeners is it has one of my favorite features is it's standing up. Yes. The two docks are horizontal, and they take up like a quart of your desk space. Exactly. We want to get cables up off the desk, and that's what this dock does. So on the front, we've got an SD card, two USB ports, and we've got audio, so there's a whole ... Are we going to talk about USB confusion as well? Right. Yeah. So those are USB-3 ports, and then around the back, we've got even more USB-3 ports. Five on the back. Holy cow. So we wanted to eliminate every source of frustration, and a lot of the docks end up only having a single hub controller, so they only support maybe one or two ports after you use up some of them for some of the other devices. So we've put in a whole tree of hub controllers to get this many free ports, and then here you see the two graphics options. So we've used the HDMI ports on each one, but we could have had two display port monitors that would have worked just as well, and network, and that single cable connection back to the MacBook that is powering all of this stuff and charging the MacBook itself. Nice. Now, the one thing I'm not seeing is any USB-C ports. No USB-C ports, and the reason why is because those USB-C ports would be confusing. For example ... It's eliminated by taking them out, not putting them in ... The downstream ports. Okay. USB-C back to your host, but then it's all the ports ... Other than ... If you want to use USB-C, you have the ports in your laptop on the dock itself. USB-A is the ones on the dock. Yeah, downstream, because for example, if a dock today has a USB-C port, and for example you take one of those multifunction dongles and plug it into it, well, guess what? The USB port on the multifunction dongle work, but the display port won't. Oh, okay. There are so many options within the USB-C spec that it's very confusing for consumers. I do spend a lot of time studying the diagrams on the back of the docks that I test, and I'm usually sure I can identify at least two-thirds of what's on the back when I'm done. Yep. Wow. Okay. Well, this is pretty interesting. When is this dock going to be available? This dock is going to be available here in the first half of 2020, and it's going to be just under $300. Oh, come on. When you describe this, I was like, okay, so this is going to be a $400 dock. You hit the $300 price point where everybody else is, but it's very cool. It looks like a book. It's rounded on the front and it's square on the back. It's really nice-sucking. Well, that's fantastic. So, is there, what's the name of this? So this is the Plugable TBT-3 UDZ. So that's the SKU. So it's the new Plugable Thunderbolt 3 dock. Very good. And Plugable only has one G, PLUG, A-B-L-E. You know, the English word was taken with two Gs. So we're just owning it with one G, and we've been around for 10 years. We have over 120 different USB products, so we're pretty well known. And would that be a Plugable dot com? It is. Very good. Thank you very much. Man, thank you. All right.
