The Brydge ones look nice, but I prefer having my laptop's screen fully accessible while docked. Plus, I'm not really sure how I liked the idea of a vertically positioned dock... one bad swipe and I'd be out my Macbook, because I can guarantee you it's not surviving the fall off my desk.

And only two ports? What's the point of even docking it in the first place if I get less IO out of it?

well you don't get "less" IO, you get exactly the same. Also you said "like the Switch," so that means screen-inaccessible and vertically positioned.

Now it sounds like what you really want is what I use: a single cord connected to an LG Ultrafine that has it's own set of built-in ports, one of which is connected to a port replicator (legacy USB-A, ethernet, etc).

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The Lenovo Thinkpad dock is like the Switch dock but better, since it doesn't render certain features of the device unusable when docked.
