Macbook USB-C dock recommendations?

thos

Hi all,
I'm looking for some recommendations for a USB-C dock for a new MacBook Pro.

Main requirements are for 1 plug in dock to handle power, wired network, dual monitors (HDMI as don't have DisplayPort daisy chain monitors), and a couple of USB-A ports for 'legacy' peripherals (printer, random headsets, cameras).

In work they've given me a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 dock, which is £300 - but I need a cheaper alternative for home office use.

I've looked at CableCreation one for £116 but the Amazon reviews are fairly mixed, and can't find any other reviews of it elsewhere. It looks like dual monitor only supports mirror and not extend, which doesn't work for me.

I found this UCOUSO(?!) one but getting pricey again at £160.

So anyone got some recommendations or alternative suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom

You're buying a graphics card thats capable of 1080p x2 in a tiny package - thats expensive and also inferior to native output.

would this work if you used one of the usb 3 or type c ports to put out hdmi using a converter?

edit - says the usb ports won't do a second monitor.

basically it looks like your requirement for 2 x hdmi out is pushing you into the expensive territory (150 sterling +)
