Recently, tech guru and former Apple Chief Evangelist, Guy Kawasaki, was able to get his hands on the new OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock for an early look. In a Facebook Live video, Kawasaki showed off the massive connectivity possibilities of the the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock.

Check out the video here to see Kawasaki’s initial impressions of the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock (beginning at the 3:40 mark), which he calls a “beautiful, elegant solution.”

The OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock offers 13 ports of connectivity through an included Thunderbolt 3 cable, and, delivers charging power to your laptop and other devices, all at the fastest speeds possible. The Thunderbolt 3 Dock will ship in Q1 of this year.

Kawasaki also shows off his OWC Envoy (at the 2:20 mark) that houses the SSD from his out of commission MacBook Air in the video.

I have asked many times, yet never got a reply: will the SD card reader have extra pins to support maximum read/write speeds (300 MB/s)?

  Thank you for your question. The OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock will have a SD 3.0 card reader on it. It will not be able to support speeds up to 300MB/s.
  
  Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your short review :-) I didn’t find any specs about charging power for this dock so far… Do you maybe know more about that (like is it able to charge 85W for 15″ MBp)?

I’m 68. Been addicted to Mac since my first 128K that couldn’t do anything but changed the direction of personal computing anyway. And there was Kawasaki leading the revolution. So – simply – THANKS. For all the energy, vision, motivation. Just THANKS.
