Questions about OWC Thunderbolt 2 Docking

Question can be deleted. I have obviously misunderstood something.

Non.

Thunderbolt 2 does not allow charging. Not to be confused with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).

Hi, the docking station also has its quirks. Some things go away if you download the drivers from the OWC support page. Otherwise request a chat directly with OWC, they can help ;)

I have a similar setup with MBP 15 Retina and a BenQ monitor via DisplayPort. I have LAN, ext. HD and various USB on the dock. Works quite well. Rarely it does not recognise the monitor correctly and then has the wrong resolution.

It's not technical. I know someone who has a hub with 3 Thunderbolt ports. (Unfortunately, I don't know the exact name) It's probably just a question of how much energy you put into searching for suitable products whether you find what you're looking for. I have to admit in all honesty that I eventually bought this product too. - But I would not recommend it

No. This is a Thunderbolt dock, not a USB-C dock.

YESon: The dock has 2 Thunderbolt 2 ports, one of which you need for connectivity from your Macbook Air 13 mid 2017. In other words, from the dock you feed another display via Thunderbolt 2.0 / Display Port. Since I don't know the specs of the Mid Air 2017, whether it has one or two Thunderbold 2.0, currently also Apple no longer visible, since the new 1x TH 2.0 and for it the industry fart 3.0 USB, the workaround would be to get a DVI to HDMI adapter for your Macbook Air 13, which should certainly be at the limit of the graphics card, which is what the Pro series is for. Then your wish will come true, provided your graphics card can handle it. DVI to HDMI adapters are available at Digitec or at any reasonable Apple/Dataquest/Interdiscount. The DOCK itself is worth its price. It gets a bit warm, that's all. Have fun!
