When I got the 2016 MacBook I knew that I was condemning myself to the dongle life<\/a>. However, instead of complaining or getting on with the program and buy 2 or 10 dongles. I researched a bit and found the perfect solution for my desktop.<\/p>\n

I wanted a docking station to connect two monitors (one DVI and another one HDMI), an Ethernet cable, several USB devices, and still have a single USB C cable going to my computer. This is exactly what this USB dock by KKmoon<\/a>\u00a0provides.\u00a0You may find under several names: KKMoon USB 3.1 dock, Lapdock or WavLink. It uses a technology called DisplayLink<\/a>,\u00a0a standard\u00a0to connect computers and displays using USB and, unlike many, many other dongles, it’s able to drive multiple\u00a0displays.<\/p>\n

If you need something more portable, Cable Matters has a good\u00a0alternative<\/a>. However it doesn’t allow you to drive two monitors a the same time.<\/p>\n

If for some reason, you still\u00a0want\u00a0the dongle life, I recommend dongle.life<\/a>, a website that recommends you the best dongle for your need.<\/p>\n
