Like many people these days, I work from home and use a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an external display. I have been a long-time user of the OWC Thunderbolt Dock which lets me connect my display and various peripherals to the hub’s I/O ports, with only a single cable plugged in to the laptop. This dock has simply sat atop the desk, until recently. I came across a further improvement to my setup which helps declutter even more.
