Few hundred? What, are you stuck in 1995?
Less than $100 for my current one, and it supports our Dell, Lenovo, and Mac (and I'm no Mac fan).
That said, you'll take my USB A ports from my cold, dead, hand.
It depends... if you have multiple hires monitors, you may need an active dock for £200+.
I'm cheap though so I use a £50 passive dock and just plug in the last monitor separately.
Yeah, mine cost $30 or so and has HDMI, USB-C PD, USB-A x2, USB-C data, and SD/micro-SD. That same one is $25 today, and there are similar options for <$20.
The one thing I really miss is RJ-45. Most reasonably priced hubs don't have it, most laptops don't have it, and I'm going to lose that dongle. I'm keeping my old ThinkPad for now in those rare cases were I need to fix my router because I messed something up.
How much does an Apple-branded one cost?
