There isn't much to review here as there aren't many features with the dock. My one problem, will cover later, is also subjective so it might not be a problem for all. Build quality: The build quality is great. I like that it is constructed of metal in all the places it can be. The cushioning system to ease laptop insertion is a really nice touch. The platform is stable. Not likely to fall over without it being it. The color is a nice contrast with the darker laptop. Ports: This is the only place where I have a problem. The dock has two. One for power and the other for what you want. I would like there to be 3 (or 2 and 1 ethernet). I use the one for power supplied by a port expansion and the second for usb-c to display port. The third would be use for the ethernet adapter that I don't want to run through the expansion. Since I do have access to the ports on top of the laptop, I am able to use them but the look is pretty horrible seeing a dongle sticking out the top. Yes, I know you can get an expansion unit, I have one, but for the ethernet, I didn't want anything between the laptop and the Gigabit dongle. Overall, I really like it. I do not regret the purchase and I expect that I will get the Brydge Stone pro at some point assuming that the ethernet port is gigabit.

This model needs work. All previous generations have had flawless alignment when inserting to dock. The 16” model you have manipulate to find ports then almost force docking. With all the delays in releasing these tolerances should have been corrected. Very disappointed. Would not buy again.

In purchase, my delivery was stated to have been 2-6 business days. Upon follow-up, twice, I was given the shipping delay of your vendor (which is not my problem). Up-front expectations would have alleviated this predicament. The size of the connection on the back of the Brydge dock for the MacBook Pro 16" is not large enough to accommodate most vendor's connections. This excludes this product from working with most hardware. Increasing the size of the connection enclosure by 1mm-2mm is all that is needed. I own 2 Brydge devices and am recommending to friends, family, and professional colleagues to reconsider purchase of a Brydge product at this time.

Great dock. However, the shipping took FOREVER for me to receive. Getting these people on the phone is a challenge as well.

The hardware is great and sturdy however my macbook pro keeps going to sleep after being connected for about 20-30 seconds. It repeats this for several iterations before it decides to stay on through the dock. Love the idea - Just would like for it work as advertised. Please help if possible. Thanks!

Well build, looks great, but should have more connections. When you put your MacBook in it connects to 2 of the 4 USB-c ports on the dock are just... USB-c ports, which means buying extra hubs to be able to connect screens mouse etc.
