Your video just make me smile every time I watch them. Even if the video has no use to me, it has one use to just give entertainment. Keep up the work!
If you’re not using the MacBook as an extra monitor , I’d recommend moving it and the stand somewhere off to the side away from everything else (maybe a shelf) and leaving the dock under the monitors and pushing it further back
I just ordered a Thunderbolt 3 dock from HyperDrive for my MacBook Pro. They're definitely very handy for desktop-laptop setups so you don't have to unplug so many cables every time you want to take your laptop somewhere. Great to see all of the awesome videos you're putting out!
First Loving the videos Tom been subscribed for a very long time and you have influenced my interest in technology and I've decided to make a career in ICT and I'm starting an apprenticeship next month instead of going to college to pursue the dream of being an ICT Director one day in the future. Again thanks for the Videos
If your TB port is still being flaky, it could just be dust. My 2015 rMBP was having weird issues with audio passthrough to my monitor. Some compressed air in the port, and it was good to go! Loving the setup!
I was just wondering whether you were uploading a video tonight. Great to see! Keep going Tom, we missed you 😁 P.S. my god this camera looks AWESOME! P.P.S. don’t touch those thunderbolt ports too much, they are shit and break easily 😂
This is exactly the type of dock I wish I could get, I have so many stuff plugged into my 2014 Retina MacBook Pro when I use it in desk mode, it’s a real pain to unplug everything every time I need to remove my laptop.
That dock looks really great! Remember trying out a similar one from elgato when I had a similar setup together with a macbook and screen :D also the convenience of just connecting 1 cord is sooo awesome
I have a USB C dell thunderbolt dock at home and one at work , i can just plug in my latitude 5400 with one cable and get charge and connect to everything else, its so cool. I have see that odd dock strangeness with other thunderbolt docs on mac before with the old belkin ones...not sure why , first time it take a bit of messing to get working but then it will be fine forever... no idea why.
Can I do a 4+ monitor setup with a MacBook Air with one ThunderBolt 2 port and two USB 3.0 ports? As far as I understand, the TB2 port carries two DP signals so it could handle 2 displays, and the TB2 port also carries PCI-E signals, so in theory it could be solved somehow, but I can't seem to find any dock that allows the use of PCI-E bus in addition to the DP functionality. 🤔
I have a possible working thunderbolt monitor(which will not wake up without a video signal) and no access to an apple product whatsoever. If i used this dock, will I be able to feed video to my thunderbolt monitor from a displayport from my pc via this hub? Any help appreciated on this 👍🏻
can i know any link for purchase this item ? looking for Thunderbolt connection out for all multiple connection usage. cos my current is Macbook Pro 15" 2014, the 2 thunderbolt im not sure for what purpose, better they give another USB port or one type C connection.
@@Schaelpy it would likely have just killed it. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a 100-240 as they were a thing even about 15 years before this was made.
Hello sir, I just came across your video. I have a Macbook Pro 2015, and I recently bought the Elgato dock from Amazon. It connects only to one monitor. I tried it with two TV's (that's the only thing available) just to give it a quick shot, but it only displays it on one TV but not the other. I have the HDMI-Mini display (the one that looks like TB2) cable from belkin. I have HDMI cables. I have two TB2 cables from Apple, and tried them interchangeably to see which set of cables can accomplish the dual display on both TV's I have. It ended up on having mirror display with no ability to change the settings, and that's how far I could reach. Do you know if there's any way to solve this problem?
I've been looking for one of these for a while for my MacBook Air 2017, they're nowhere to be found on UK Ebay, and not even from China. That looks like a really solid one aswell. Does anyone know where I could get a TB2 Dock?
Hi there nice video. I had a 2011 macbook and it had the firewire ports and other good ports, and used to use it with a firewire only audio interface for music production. So I had just recently bought a used late 2013 15" retina display macbook. Great mac but no firewire ports to use it with my firewire audio interface for whenever I am making music. All it has is 2 usb ports, 2thunderbolt ports, an hdmi port, a card slot port and of course the magnetic power port. Is there an adapter I need to purchase so I can use my firewire audio interface. Or do they still make these adapters that is firewire to thunderbolt or firewire to usb? Where can I purchase it?
Glad it worked out Tom. It was rock solid for me when I used it. The install looks so much better now.
Heya what model is that Targus dock?
@@danielktdoranie Targus Dock 210
Very nice donation :)
Glad to see another upload!!
Your video just make me smile every time I watch them. Even if the video has no use to me, it has one use to just give entertainment. Keep up the work!
What an amazing donation! Excellent video as always Tom and congrats on 39K subs my man onwards and upwards. 40K by the end of the year for sure 💪🏼😉
Ah a classic IMNC more relaxed video, my favourite! I'm loving these new videos Tom!
what a great donation . big ups to the person who sent it bravo

This dock is just like your receiver in your living room it streamlined everything and made everything much simpeler and cleaner!!
Loved the box throwing haha! Great video as always Tom, loving the content! :)
Welcome to the wonderful world of display port, been here a while myself and I'm not going back.
I was wondering if you would be doing something with a TB dock. Great video Tom!

Absolutely awesome, Edward! I wish you the best of luck with your apprenticeship.
ItsMyNaturalColour Thanks Tom
I have a 2015 Macbook Pro Retina and a 2012 iMac and i would love to use Thunderbolt 2 but i can't find any devices that use it. :(
let me know when you do i would like to get one too.
I am not able to find a Thunderbolt 2 to dual HDMI display dock for my 2014 MacBook Pro. Looks like this connection set is a thing of the past.

What he said...
Great pieces of kit these. I bought a USB 3.0 one from Targus a few years back. Works great for my MBP setup. Another great video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Greetz from Poland! Love your creativity
Greetings! And thank you!
That mouse is such a throwback. I had one of those when they came out.

I’ve been looking for a dock like that forever
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE i’ve been looking for you for a couple of weeks, thank God for the algorithm
Love Your Channel Tom. Keep it up👍🏻
I have a StarTech Thunderbolt Dock on my Mac mini and its also very hot when used. I Think its normal.
Great video Tom, you should be able to turn on the MacBook from the power button on the dock without having to open the machine.

This Community is AMAZING!
My 2010 13 in was picky with its cable but glad us got it working
Great vlog as always.
What keyboard is that Tom?
You can buy one display port cable and the daisy-chain the signal with the DVI cable to the other monitor
Cool, you can have a thunderbolt 2 - 3 connector and get a thunderbolt 3 accasis external m. 2 hard drive and push those speeds up.
id recommend using two thunderbolt for the dock to work at full speed.
nice vid as always
I wonder if the Apple super drive would work though the thunder bolt dock
where can we buy this?? looks fantastic !

You should do a video booting up your 2008 MacBook Pro to see if the graphics are still alive.
Yeah Tom
It’s bloody hot today
New watch, Tom? F-91W?
time increase that order for noctua fans to get some aircooling going on for that dock.
can i know any link for purchase this item ? looking for Thunderbolt connection out for all multiple connection usage. cos my current is Macbook Pro 15" 2014, the 2 thunderbolt im not sure for what purpose, better they give another USB port or one type C connection.
Looks good. I don't see a mailing address to send things to in your description. Is this out now?
Will this setup work with 2012 MacBook Pro? Thunderbolt 2 I believe. TIA!!
Where can we order thurnderbolt 2 docks from? I hv been looking for such device since a long time
Its possibility to turn on Macbook 2013 late without open case ?
is this dock still holding up well for you?
It was hot here in RI as well :-/
Are you using a 2013 MacBook Pro?
Is there any way for you ti explain how yo connceted dual monitors?
Where can I find this? And can I have the complete name of it so I can search for it please?
I hope that the power brick is multi-voltage.
Could it explain the heat of it is not?
@@Schaelpy it would likely have just killed it. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a 100-240 as they were a thing even about 15 years before this was made.
I checked that prior to sending it to him - it is multi-voltage. It did run warm when I used it on 110V.
how did you connect your two displays to the air?
Where are these docks for sale 2nd hand? eBay and FB Marketplace doesn't seem to have any.
i
that keyboard man... what is THAT???!!!
I need this hub for my setup

Compatible macbook pro late 2011?
Nice keyboard ⌨️

Tbh just go with a TB3 Dock as most TB2 ones are discontinued and TB3 is backwards compatible
Hi there nice video. I had a 2011 macbook and it had the firewire ports and other good ports, and used to use it with a firewire only audio interface for music production.

Or do they still make these adapters that is firewire to thunderbolt or firewire to usb? Where can I purchase it?
is there any video/story for 'alienish' looking mouse :) ?
Tom, did you change the Dell monitor video input select to Display port?
Would it work for Macbook mid 2012
Couldn't find any of the old thunderbolt 2 dock. If someone can point me as to where to purchase one, it'll be great. No luck with amazon
Have an OCD friend come over and do your cable management :)
Would this work for running a dual monitor set up for iMac?
Little sad the silver G3 has gone as to me it looks like a powerful machine but it’s not that portable but a laptop is
Where can I buy that dock at this time?
Hi Tom. Have you tested the possibility to charge your macbook via the dock? Thunderbold can carry power no? 🙂
Thunderbolt 3 can, 2 cannot.
Helen Smith glad to know! 🙂
Would you like to sell that dock now? Lol, I cannot find one on ebay for the life of me.
Cool
And now a ultrawide monitor
Well Done✅
What software or setup did you do to allow the laptop to run while the lid is closed?
No special software required, you simply close a Mac laptop with an external display connected and it'll pop itself into desktop mode.
Where can I buy it Tom ?
You rule 🤟
Quite a bit longer, or twice as long....!!
Once you go displayPort, you don't go back...
whitey from me, myself and irene?
