    I have two 1920x1200 24" screens -- one with DVI, and one with displayport (full size). I also use an external keyboard and mouse, and gigabit ethernet.

    I want a dock that will let me simply connect my macbook pro 15" retina to all of this without any performance degradation. I've seen the hengedock, but I'm not sure I like the idea of it -- holding a bunch of male ports fixed while the notebook gets dropped in on to them. Some of the docks on the apple store have two thunderbolt ports and an hdmi port, but I haven't found a clear answer as to whether they can actually be used to drive two displays?

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Looks like the elgato dock should work.
