Hello I assume that with this adapter I can connect two Apple Cinema Displays (DVI with HDMI Adappter) to the Mac Book Air 13" 2017, and thus have 3 displays to work with (not mirroring).

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!
