That’s how I’ve been working for over a decade now with Apple laptops: the laptop on an elevated stand and two external monitors.
Hyperdock 1.5 pro#
I already bought a small USB-4 hub from OWC, and as soon as I receive my M1 Pro, I hope I can use this OWC hub two external monitors and the M1 pro on an elevated stand as a third monitor. This means that the true 5K monitor (which I do have) is supported at 5K snap-on part could be used autonomously as a travel dongle for connecting a second HDMI or DP monitor away from your principal place of work, while the base version is permanently attached to peripherals at the principal place of work.Įdit: I canceled my contribution after a careful consideration.
Hyperdock 1.5 update#
That way I can connect four displays (including USB-C and Thunderbolt displays), only use up two Thunderbolt 4 ports (and get 6 Thunderbolt 4 ports in return), and update the adapters if a better adapter becomes available.ĭisplayPort #2 can support up to 8K It’s in the specs if you dig deep enough. Instead of the HYPER dock, I would just tape a couple CalDigit Element hubs together and donglize the DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet, and SD card connections with adapters of my choosing.
Hyperdock 1.5 full#
If there's a DisplayPort 1.4 MST hub in the USB-C dock or between the USB-C dock and the display then you can get full HBR2 (17.28 Gbps) or HBR3 link rate (25.92 Gbps) for a single display if DSC is supported by macOS, the GPU, and the MST Hub. This HYPER thing is a USB-C dock - or three USB-C docks in one.Ī USB-C dock is limited to 10 Gbps of data and 12.96 Gbps for a single HBR3 display or 8.64 Gbps for a single HBR2 display.Ī Thunderbolt dock supports to 22-25 Gbps of data and 34.56 Gbps of display (25.92 Gbps max for a single display) 40 Gbps max total for data + display(s). With DockMate even though I've set a delay - it seems like it affects only the first preview pop up but from there as you move cursor left and right - content of the popup changes instantly not allowing you to move over other apps preserving what you see.Click to expand.That's only true for USB-C docks.Ī Thunderbolt dock can connect two displays per port. UPD: Just checked how it is done in Windows - looks like it is even simpler - after the preview pop up appears you can move your cursor anywhere including over other apps as long as you quick, so probably there is just a set of delays of different events. And as long as your cursor moves within that triangle - the popup stays visible, even when you move cursor over the neighboring icons. Which part? So they computed the line between your cursor position and the edge points of the pop up menu shown that you want to click.
One thing that I've noticed immediately and something that could be improved - when you hover over and app that has, say 4 windows and you try from there to move your mouse to the 1st or the last - it hovers over neighboring app icons and a different set of previews pops up hiding the one you was going to click.Ī while back I red about similar issue Amazon was solving with their menu and the gist of is is they made parts (this is important word here) of neighboring icons hover-insensitive. U/w0lfschild, Do you accept bug reports feature requests?Just installed DockMate and it looks very promising!
