I've never used a docking station for anything more than plugging a laptop into it at work and it feeding a monitor. That station let me put the actual laptop into it, no chords.
But I am looking to redo my home desk as my current iMac is getting long in the tooth and will buy a Mac Mini to replace it. With this, I want to do have one dock for three different machines (the Mac Mini, my wife's Macbook Pro and my work Dell ThinPad).
The Dell connects via USB C. Am I correct I can have the doc run into a monitor and just unconnect whatever machine is connecting and plug the USC C (or Thunderbolt for the Macbook Pro) into the other machine?
I'd like to have a SSD or two run off the docking station as backups for my Mac Mini, too. What happens to those when another machine is plugged in?
Will one Bluetooth magic mouse/solar-powered keyboard be able to work for all three machines, even the PC?
