Apple introduced the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 (2022) during the main keynote of WWDC22. This welcome addition to the Mac line retains the classic Pro notebook design. Unlike the the MacBook Pro (2021) — which you can buy refurbished — the 2022 model doesn’t have a notch or wide port variety. It sticks to the familiar body the company has been utilizing for years. This means you will likely need to depend on docks if you plan on connecting plenty of wired accessories to your MacBook Pro (2022). Docks allow you to grow your MacBook Pro (2022) extra limbs. This way you get to make the most out of its unrivaled power. Whether you want to connect a camera, external monitor, a hard drive, or any other compatible accessory — a dock is the key to enabling these versatile connections. Here’s a list of the best ones you can buy for your Mac.
