3rd party hubs/docks

[kkaykaykay]

Hi all,

I was searching around amazon for a more portable version of a displaydock. At the moment the display dock has to have power running it continuously which is not ideal in the outside setting (This can be rectified with a battery bank/brick).

At the moment im not too sure if these generic ones will work (Some say don't work on phones etc.) and I have no idea if they need constant power to power them on.

I dug up the cheapest one I found (no 1080p) but will probably be the best portable alternative. Post under your other 3rd party hubs/docks that work fine.

I meant no 4k in reference to future 4k support.

I don't know this one, but it should , and price is good. However, I know this one definitely works, but price is 3x of the one you show. https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirec...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3516593

Yeah I remember seeing an article of using Continuum and that one works. But strangest thing ever, in the product description it says:

"Note:This is not compatible with 2016 new Macbook 12-inch laptop,cellphone and tablet PC"

But I'm pretty certain it works. I'll pull the trigger and see if it works. Does the Vtin one need power like the MS DisplayDock?
