one MacBook Pro dock to rule them all
0:11
out dave Taylor here again and if you're
0:14
like me you have your MacBook Pro with
0:16
Touch Bar and you really like it but
0:20
those ports oh man you know there's all
0:22
these little adapters you can get or you
0:24
can get the king of all adapters and
0:27
that's quite possibly what Cal Digit has
0:29
with this guy well let me start with it
0:31
unplugged so I can show you so it's a
0:35
pretty big hefty unit it's just over 1.3
0:38
lb and it's aluminum it's definitely
0:40
pretty strong it feels like it's a
0:42
little brick you probably like whack
0:44
some annoying coworker with it i don't
0:46
recommend that behavior however and it's
0:49
just like drowning in little plugs and
0:51
ports and it's super easy to work with
0:53
so on the front we have a USB charging
0:58
plug this is USB 3.1 and it's a 15 watts
1:01
so if you need to charge your phone or
1:03
something this is going to be a fast
1:05
charge it has a microphone in and audio
1:08
out which is great cuz the microphone
1:10
separate connector is not something
1:12
Apple people are used to oh and by the
1:14
way any computer that's using USBC or
1:17
Thunderbolt 3 this will work great with
1:20
so there's PC computers that this will
1:22
work with too but I'm looking at it from
1:24
the perspective of a MacBook Pro owner
1:26
so that's the front and on the back we
1:29
have the power plug which is this
1:32
ridiculously big adapter i have to show
1:34
you this i think that actually their
1:36
little power adapter little their power
1:38
adapters almost the same size as the
1:41
actual unit this is a big hefty power
1:44
adapter you do not want to be toting
1:46
this around but the idea of this is that
1:49
this is going to sit on your desk at
1:51
work and you're going to just be able to
1:53
have everything plugged in including
1:55
multiple monitors and hard drives and
1:58
even like a DVD burner or something
2:00
everything's all plugged in you get into
2:02
work you plug in one thing and boom
2:04
you're going and it's charging your
2:06
computer pretty cool now let's go back
2:08
to the back back to the back and that's
2:10
good okay so power then we have the
2:13
connector the USBC connector that
2:15
connects to your computer and they do
2:17
include a nice little short USBC cable
2:20
that's handy and then there's a USBC
2:23
connector you can use to plug in other
2:25
USBC devices like the new uh what is it
2:29
the iPad Air right is running off USBC
2:33
then big display port plug HDMI plug
2:38
Ethernet plug and two count them two
2:41
more USB 3.1s so there's two on the back
2:44
one on the front right there that's
2:46
really nice but of course the idea is
2:48
you have this thing plugged in you have
2:50
it you plug it into your computer when
2:52
you walk in and now as soon as you sit
2:55
at your desk you are rocking and rolling
2:57
and here's what's really cool about this
2:59
is that you can actually just plug in
3:01
multiple displays so I got my MacBook
3:04
Pro i could easily have a couple of
3:07
those nice 27 or 30 inch 4K displays one
3:11
off of HDMI or maybe HDMI is just
3:13
powering a TV we have on the wall and
3:16
then I have one using display port to be
3:18
able to give me that nice you know fast
3:21
resolution fast interactive 4K display
3:25
all of this powered by your Cal Digit
3:29
now pros and cons pros is that it just
3:34
has a ton of different connectors it's
3:35
really nice and I love that you plug it
3:37
in and you're good to go the downside is
3:40
it is big it is heavy the power adapter
3:42
is crazy it's it's like an old school PC
3:45
laptop power adapter seriously guys I
3:48
don't know what you did with that make a
3:50
little tiny one just do the magic make
3:52
it work but on the other hand hey it's
3:54
under your desk so you probably don't
3:56
really have to care that much and how
3:58
much would you pay for this to solve all
4:00
of your port problems that you've ever
4:02
had with your MacBook Pro well my cat
4:07
