No, sorry but 60 watts of power delivery is not a dream for anyone using a MacBook that's more powerful than the 13" M1 MacBook Pro or Air. Maybe 90 Watts would suffice, but I don't want more than one cable when I am using my MacBook Pro 16" remotely.

Agreed, but not only that. This thing has 6 USB-A ports whichh is great if all your devices are 2 years old or older but it only has one (count them one) USB-C port used for power and transfer to the notebook but nothing else, like an eGPU, External SSD's etc. My old Lenovo docking station has 3 as well as two each of displayport and HDMI 2.1. Plus six USB-A

Beat me to it. My 2020 MBP needs what, 90w? I believe that's what my Dell U4021 delivers to it. 2021 16" comes with a 140w wall wart, though admittedly the M1* systems are famous for using less power, so that's just about faster charging for the rare occasions when one is used unplugged?

I could do without HDMI, too many compatibility issues. Displayport / Thunderbolt / USB-C please.

But notably, the author wants a microsd slot of all things? For photography? Is that what baby cameras use these days?
