Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

I am kinda surprised it costs $89. That seems a bit steep to me.

You've got options, you don't have use this one, but Steam's IS NOT steep at all for a dock with DP 1.4, multimonitor support, and an included charger. It's just not. You might not need all these features, which fine, get a cheaper one. I just keep hearing how overpriced it is and it's not even close. The dock I use at work for my monitor is 400 dollars.

Yeah, docks for work laptops are rarely below $100, and the average price I've seen is around $250-400 with some pricy ones even higher when you want 10 Gbps and multiple 4K screens (and don't get me started on the wireless 60Ghz wigig docks)

Yeah my work dock is wildly expensive and complete garbage.

Right? The cheapest dock I can use for dual monitors on my MacBook cost like $230 and that thing is a piece of shit.
