14-inch MacBook Pro review: A Mac Pro in your backpack

I have two that I've used four 3-4 years, and both are rock solid. Very rarely do I need to unplug and replug (e.g. if a display doesn't get identified properly).

With the other TB3 docks I tried, they'd all have really annoying issues or even require reboots from time to time.

Great point about needing to unplug and replug displays back in. I had issues with that at first, but it turned out to be a result of a bad DisplayPort->HDMI adapter. Now that I'm using normal DisplayPort and Thunderbolt cables direct to the displays from the dock I haven't had any issues. And if I need to change the input on one of the displays it's all handled seamlessly and macOS flips over to recognizing only one external display.
