  I wonder how much shorter the max cable length can get. Let’s find out!

    there’s no cable now, just two connectors stuck together

  I’m sure that any docks for 5 will only be 300$ or more…

    Yep, got the Razer TB4 Dock Chroma when the M1 MacBook pros came out, think it was $350. It’s VERY nice to be able to go from desk to couch when WFH and have everything right where you left it, but damn it’s pricey.

    AND mine already died once as well. Replaced under warranty but it was a hassle that took a few weeks

      Any random thinkpad dock is like 200. A dell d6000 is a displaylink dock (so needs a driver) but will work for 160 bucks.

      You really only need TB to extend pcie speeds to a peripheral. For most wfh stuff like spreadsheets you can do it for a LOT cheaper.

    That’s pretty typical. 55" LCD TVs were $20k when they first came out, 256MB of RAM was hundreds of dollars when it came out, 128GB hard drives were hundreds of dollars when they came out. Someday, this thing will be dirt cheap and ubiquitous but not now.

  That feeling when your laptop overheats because the USB port is consuming 30 watts. :-/

  Already, I need to place a desk fan pointed on my laptop to keep it cool when it’s connected to the docking station via USB.

  We need a more robust connection more than we need a faster connection.

  All USB/thunderbolt variants feel like they are a sneeze away from snapping. It’s one thing if yiu are connecting things that aren’t meant to be moved around, but damn do they feel flimsy for mobile devices that could get bumped around.

    How long until we get back to screw in connectors?

    It would be pretty easy to make a locking mechanism for a standard usb-c cable. Like for example a slot that’s the size of a usb-c connector, and after you put the usb-c cable connector through it to plug it in, you then rotate the slot 90 degrees to lock the cable head in place.

  120Gbps mode would be incredible for eGPUs.

    Lol, the iPhone 15 will get USB 2.0 like the rest of them.

  How many 4ks at 120hz can it run? Asking for a friend

  source

  • hansl@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It should support at least 3. In case you’re seriously asking, TB3 is 40GBps and supports 1 display at 4k@120 with DP 1.4.

    4K UHD needs a bandwidth of at least 10.2 Gbps, so this could drive nine 4K displays

    • stevehobbes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It can be much lower and much higher - depends on how much color information you’re sending, and what the refresh rate is.

      The DisplayPort spec (which alt mode runs across usbc) covers the streams:
