Hi everyone,

I'm posting to see if anyone has found a docking system solution that works with their n ew Macbook pro?

I run two 24" monitors on either side of a 34" UW monitor, and foolishly didn't look into if this machine could push them all (my 2015 I upgraded from could, so I had reason to believe this infinitely more advanced machine could handle it). No combination of DP, HDMI, VGA, DVI has garnered results.

Any suggestions?

I'm aware of a few that have PD over the host connection (in the 60-100w range), but I was unsure if the lower wattage coming through the thunderbolt that connects the mac to the dock would damage the battery (it won't).

I appreciate the time it takes to answer, so thank you very much in advance!!

Eidt:
For this matter, does anyone know if I can use the native hdmi output, in conjunction with a dual-display dock? Seems like it's a no, as the comp only supports 2 externals, so likely need the specific displaylink or gpu features of a triple display dock, but it just occurred to me so thought I'd ask
