Belkin today has announced a new USB-C 3.1 dock for MacBook and MacBook Pro users. The company touts that the Express Dock HD packs “speed, power, and efficient charging” through its 1M cable…
Belkin’s new Express Dock HD includes a wide array of connectivity options for users. You get two USB-C 3.1 ports for charging your MacBook as well as another smartphone or tablet. There are also 3 USB-A ports, one HDMI connector with support for 4K video, a Gigabit ethernet port, and two 3.5mm audio ports.
- Two USB-C 3.1 ports to connect and charge new smartphones and laptops
- Three USB-A ports to connect and charge USB-A devices
- One HDMI port to support 4K video output
- One gigabit Ethernet port for fast, reliable Internet
- Two audio ports for headphone or speaker connection
The dock delivers 60W of total power, which means you’re right at the standard that Apple recommends for charging the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple recommends 87W of total power for the 15-inch MacBook Pro, however, so don’t expect great performance if you’re using the larger-screened MacBook Pro.
And here’s a bit about charging from Belkin:
As has turned out to be the case with a lot of docks like this, Belkin’s solution isn’t cheap. Though, it is slightly more affordable than Belkin’s $350 Thunderbolt 3 dock.
The Express Dock 3.1 HD is available today for $229.99 on the company’s website.
