To void this means keeping a single PC at the core, then use USB-C where peer-to-peer communications is needed.Ī step up on this, or step to the side, is instead of using a eGPU dock there is the used of a PCIe chassis for a dock. The use of USB-A and USB-B enforce hierarchy. USB-C don't have the means to understand multiple USB-C devices at a time. It is this kind of dock that offered more USB-C port than any other because the system is running on Thunderbolt. While storage is not often included on the dock there will be option to connection them by eSATA, USB-C, Thunderbolt, or Network share. These eGPU docks will often have power available to charge the laptop, cellphone, and other accessories. They center around a high end GPU for powering a screen or three at high frame rates for gaming or getting the most out of stock information. Goin up in video capability is the eGPU dock.

This means sound, video, keyboard, mouse, networking, and perhaps more all plugged-in at once. These kinds of docks typically use the USB-A port to connect to the PC. This is not gaming quality chip but many people in need of a simple added screen for office productivity and sound. These hosts require USB-C connection to the host.Ī different kind of USB dock can provide video using the DisplayLink video chip. If there is a DP port with the DP port the the dock may be able to suppoort two independent displays. My experience tells me this DisplyPort (or DP) will often be converted to HDMI or VGA. It can use USB-C that supports DisplayPort. There's two ways to handle video in a dock. If there are more than just USB ports, and often no video, then this might step beyond a hub and into a mimi-dock.Ī hub will be something that has no video. Some hubs will provide internal Ethernet and audio along with USB-A and one or two USB-C ports. A USB hub is a device that connects to the USB host, with either a USB-A or USB-C connector to allow connection to a handful oof other USB devices.
