Hi guys, I'm getting a new mac book pro M1 32Go that I'll need to move for professionnal purpose.

I definitely need a dock but there are so many, I feel a little bit lost.
More, from my experience, it's hard to make the right choice just by reading specs, as to me, the most important criteria is reliability, which is not written in tech specs.

Can you help me to find the right one? Here is what I know about my usages:
  • I want to plug a single cable to connect everything, as I plan to often move my laptop. By everything I mean:
    • two 4K 60Hz external monitors (which can use usb-c, DP or HDMI).
    • audio interface (usb-A), HDD (usb-c), headset (mini jack), etc.
  • I'll need to charge multiple devices at once (iphone, ipad, mouse). It should be fast and not limited by power, and work even if the computer is off.
  • Having ports available in both sides (front and back) would be helpful.
  • Future proof. I want it to last.
  • Again, my first concern is reliability. I just want to plug my device and everything works as expected, without magical trick to do, without waiting firmware updates, etc.
  • I'm ok to pay high price if it truly worths it.

Thanks a lot.
