Whatever the reason for replacement, we’ll tell you which charger you need, and how to find the information you need to figure it out. Maybe you left it in a coffee house (back when WFH was really WFStarbucks), and don’t even know the model number of the charger. That means replacements, and as Apple used proprietary connectors until recently, that means figuring out exactly which charger you had so you can get a new one. Whether it’s the cable near the connector fraying, the end near the power brick, or losing the connectors that plug into the wall, the charger is often the first thing to go. MSRP for the OWC USB-C Dock is listed at $159.99 with pre-orders being accepted as I write this.It’s a pretty well-known fact that the chargers that come with MacBooks are nowhere near as hardy as the MacBook they come with. For PC users, I can say the dock does work in Windows 10 without issue and would be a great addition to any Ultrabook with a Type-C port. Overall, for users of the 2015 MacBook, you will certainly be happy with a solution such as the USB-C dock from OWC as it enables a bit more freedom than Apple intended. With the Gbe throughput seemingly topped out at 808 Mbps, which isn't quite full gigabit, but it is more than what most other vendor's products will give you. The performance was excellent with USB 3.0 as expected and I was able to reach 428 MB/s read and 384 MB/s write. The USB-C dock is no different the build quality is top notch with its aluminum and piano black plastic design, and going through the internals, I was even more pleased to see they chose to use dual USB controllers, a top notch audio IC, and solid gigabit Ethernet. With that said, I'm quite pleased with it being an OWC device as they have in the past and tend to now produce high-quality peripherals for the Apple market. ![]() Being that USB-C is relatively new to the market, and while vendors have been releasing multitudes of products using this new connector, as mentioned in the beginning, this is my first real hands-on with a Type-C dock. ![]()
