Now that the newMacBook Prois out ( the one without the Touch Bar , anyway ) , a lot of Mac nerds are about to enter the realm of dongle hell . That ’s because the only connector the new MacBook Pro has is are Thunderbolt 3 - back USB - C port .
Fortunately , Belkin is step in to offer a handy sorrel that connect to 8 additional Thunderbolt devices . Unfortunately , consort toThe Verge , Belkin will be charging around $ 430 for its newThunderbolt 3 Express Dock HDwhen it launch soon . Belkin would n’t affirm that price , telling Gizmodo that cost and availability will be herald shortly .
Still , Belkin ’s currentThunderbolt 2 docksells for $ 300 , so we ca n’t guess that the toll will be bum .

So what do you get for all that money ? Well you get a Thunderbolt 3 dock that can connect to gigabit ethernet , audio out , two USB - A 3.0 port wine , 2 Thunderbolt 3 USB - C ports , DisplayPort ( the full sizing ) , and a king connector ( because this thing needs its own power supply ) . On the front it has a undivided USB - A 3.0 embrasure and audio out .
That ’s a LOT of embrasure , but it ’s also potentially a ridiculous amount of money . Now , on the promising side , the two Thunderbolt 3 port bleed at full upper , so you could conceivably connect to 4 green monitors to this thing . And Thunderbolt 3 does have devilishly riotous data transference amphetamine ( 40Gbps ) , compared with the paltry 10Gbps transfer speeds for USB - C.
Updated : update to clarify that Belkin has n’t announced an official price for the Thunderbolt 3 dock .
