The only way I'm upgrading is if they release a 13-14" OLED/Mini LED M1X MacBook Pro.

It’s not OLED but will be mini LED with like a 20 hour battery life. (We know this from panel leaks.)

Is there a USB-C dock other than the CalDigit TS3+ around $250 that doesn't have a ton of people complaining about display issues? I just got a 16 in. 2019 MBP for work and need something to be able to plug in two monitors. Dual DisplayPort would be great but 1 DP/1 HDMI would work as well. Would also prefer something that can do 1440p/144Hz but it's not a hard requirement.

e: The only reason I don't get a TS3+ is that it's been out of stock for a while and I'm tired of sitting on the couch all day.

More to the point is that USB C docks can work fine depending on what you use them for.

sure but op was talking about a usbc dock that enables a second display on m1 computers that don't support two displays, which is something else imo

I remember when some goon on here (when this guy was barely at a 100k) was saying he was too "niche" to ever make it as a YouTuber. Well judging by his sub count and this video, I think he's probably doing just fine.

(he also has spec leak/configures apparently for Monday).

CalDigit also make something called the USB-C Pro Dock which we’ve got a couple of at work and they seem to work pretty well. Dual DisplayPort and despite the name it does actually do Thunderbolt as well as USB-C (it steps down to USB-C if the device doesn’t support Thunderbolt).

Of course, that’s another CalDigit product so it may also be out of stock.

Would you like a jelly baby?
It's been in my pocket through 4 regenerations,
but it's still good.

I was definitely updating my MacBook Pro 2017 when the new models come out, but my cat tried to climb on the clamshell while the little stands I have were on and he cracked the LCD on the lower right.

I had planned on trading it in, but that’s probably hosed now. Should I bother getting it repaired? How much is a new screen vs how much will it reduce what I get for it?

drat cat. :argh:

I like Linus. His channel is full of ridiculous things that in reality don't need to be more than 'I wonder' thoughts but does it anyway, he seems to genuinely give Apple stuff a fair shot despite not being the company of choice for him and criticizes them appropriately, genuinely apologizes when he's wrong, and seems a decent boss and person. You know what you're getting when you see the obvious clickbait thumbnails and definitely feels like you're in on the joke as you watch.

On the other hand I like iJustine, but a while back I realized I don't think I'd ever seen her criticize any product she was talking about and it started to go from feeling like genuine nonstop enthusiasm to being a bit shilly. Fun videos, and probably shouldn't really expect anything more from people who cross into YT superstardom or whatever.

I generally like Linus and find him to be a pretty upstanding and responsible guy, and I think his content is generally very well done and thought-out, but it’s also problematic to me when he goes on rants about e-waste and planned obsolescence and their social/environmental cost, but then takes money from cryptocurrency scams and data harvesters like Honey.
