If your computer requires more than 15W to operate, it may not be enough power to sustain the battery and we recommend plugging in your OEM charging cable. When laptop charging is down to 15W, the front LED indicator light will turn red. Here is how CalDigit explains it on its FAQ: If the LED indicator is red it means that maximum power isn’t being supplied to the computer.

When this light is green, it means that there’s a successful connection to your computer, with the dock providing full power.

You’ll notice a small LED indicator light on the left side of the dock next to the CalDigit logo. That, combined with the unit’s substantial weight, should prevent it from sliding around while on your desk, even when it’s inundated with various cable connections. The USB-C Dock features four rubber feet on the bottom of the device to keep it from sliding around on your desk. That means that there’s no need for noisy fans. The good thing about the aluminum design is that the casing works like a giant heat sink to help dissipate heat. For example, when you sit the dock down on a desk, you’ll hear a slight rattle from the parts within. It’s nice that the unit is all aluminum and not plastic, but there is a certain hollowness to the dock that makes it seem a little more fragile than its build quality might initially suggest. The dock is designed much in the same way as CalDigit’s Tuff line of USB-C portable drives. Design & Build QualityĬalDigit’s USB-C Dock is fully comprised of aluminum, with an interesting texture ridge surface on the top and bottom.

That means that the dock should do fine charging the smaller 13″ MacBook Pro at full speed, but will take a bit longer charging the 15″ MacBook Pro that ships with a larger power adapter.ĬalDigit’s USB-C Dock isn’t a perfect device, but it does a pretty good job of turning the new MacBook Pro into a desktop-worthy machine, if you can put up with the compromises you’ll have to make in order to use it. In addition, the unit is able to charge a MacBook up to 60W. With a single USB-C cable, for instance, you can tap into CalDigit’s USB-C Dock, which gains you instant access to multiple legacy USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, an extra USB-C port, and an additional 3.5mm headphone jack along with a microphone jack.

But if there’s a silver lining to be found, it’s that the USB-C ports featured on the new machines are super-versatile. The Late 2016 MacBook Pro lacks many of the convenient ports that we’ve seen on previous MacBook releases.
