Without getting into how well these USB-C multiport adapters actually work, I think USB-C represents an advance in the docking station concept, a single standard hot-pluggable docking station possibly small enough to be portable with potential cost saving from competition and economy of scale.

My first USB-C experience is coming with my new Onyx Boox Note 2, having a "docking station" with a number of features, for my 10.3" ereader might be kind of handy. I ordered one and will check it out.
