I'm glad I can purchase an external dock for an extra few hundred dollars to get the functionality back that existed in older models

We bought some for work to trial and they cost 65€, so hardly hundreds

That's how much the official Apple docks cost?

We are trialing off brand docks. Wouldn't be a trial otherwise 😄 these work perfect btw.

It would be pretty annoying to have to unplug/plug in everything that the previous commenter mentioned every time you wanted to move your laptop. So for something that's meant to be a portable work station, I think it makes sense to use a stationary adapter over a bunch of individual ports on the laptop itself. It would be nice if it was common for laptops to come with an adapter that includes all the ports that are commonly used though.
