OWC has announced that its new Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock for PC/MAC is available to pre-order now and is due to begin shipping from 27^th July. The OWC Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock doesn’t rely on external power making it ideal for connecting to mobile devices while on the go.

The new Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock from OWC takes advantage of the full potential of a PC or MAC’s Thunderbolt 3 port to offer fast data transfer and dual 4K display support, as well as providing charging power for small mobile devices too. The device can transform notebooks into multiple display devices to increase productivity with vibrant 4k video output and high-fidelity audio.

USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports integrated into the OWC Thunderbolt 3 mini Dock allows a range of peripherals to be connected to mobile devices such as full-size keyboards, headsets or gaming controllers, as well as external drives to extend the storage capacity of the system. All this is packed into a compact chassis about the size of a smartphone which makes it lightweight and ultra-portable.
