It's been a pain to unmount everything and unplug everything when I needed to take my MacBook Pro away from my desk, but now with Elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock, it's so simple! I click Elgato Thunderbolt Dock Utility icon on the menu bar, and select "Unplug Elgato Thunderbolt Dock". Everything is unmounted. Unplug the power adapter and the Thunderbolt cable, and my MacBook Pro is ready to be taken to anywhere.
In addition, with this dock, USB external hard drives appear to transmit data faster, and USB devices can be charged even when no computer is attached.
Elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock comes with a dock, a power adapter and a Thunderbolt cable. I downloaded Elgato Thunderbolt Dock Utility from the Elgato Website.
Elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock enhances my MacBook Pro with no additional hassle, as expected from Elgato.
The build quality is nice and aesthetically aligns with Apple's sleek design. It's nice that Elgato includes a Thunderbolt cable--though really short--with the price. I purchased this hub for work to use with my 2012 Macbook Air (MBA) as it supports an external display and gigabit ethernet hardline via a single Thunderbolt connection to my laptop.
I connected the thunderbolt connection to the MBA, connected a copper connection to the ethernet port, and connected my older Dell 1920x1080p monitor to the HDMI port to test. It worked without issues. Tested the ethernet connection by disabling the Wifi adapter on the laptop, and the network connection was stable. Will test the hub at work connected to a higher resolution monitor (Asus PB278Q 2560x1440) at a later time to see if the HDMI out port can truly support the native resolution of the display.
Overall this product works as expected. Yes, the price point is a tad high at slightly over $200, but compared to similar solutions currently out on the market, it has good specs for the money. Will do some more testing and will report back if something changes.
Update: Tuesday, 2015-05-12
Got the chance to use the thunderbolt dock at work a couple of days. Single thunderbolt connection from the dock to my 2012 Macbook Air is nice! The dock is connected to a Asus PB278Q at full native resolution 2560x1440--no issues--via HDMI. When the laptop is active, it doesn't seem like it has a problem powering both the internal display and the Asus at the same time.
I have noticed a weird behavior with this setup though. The dock, MBA, and or monitor has a difficult time coming out of a lock screen or sleep mode. After unlocking the MBA, often times it does not wake the monitor itself. The MBA will flicker repeatedly as though it's trying to connect to an external display, but fails to awake the monitor. I will have to press a button on the monitor to awake it from sleep before the display will reestablish a connection with the Thunderbolt dock (MBA) again. It's rather annoying..
Removing a star for this issue.
The following peripherals are connected to the dock and work flawlessly:
-24" HDMI monitor
-7 port USB 3.0 hub
-2 TB WD MyPassport slim external HDD
-External speakers via headphone jack
-Amazon basics USB mouse
-Amazon basics USB keyboard

My only complaints are the supplied thunderbolt cable is only 18" or so and the entire unit gets pretty warm. Minor nits.
