I've got an M1 MacBook Air (USB C only) and a HP Laptop with only USB A. I want to connect both of them to a dock. I figure getting a USB C dock is better future proofing, but will a USB C dock with through a USB C to USB A convertor dongle? Would a USB A dock and USB C > A convertor be better? A few dock's I've looked at only list older Macbook Airs, might I have compatibility issues with the M1? I'm looking at this dock: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TJH4S7X?tag=mw-website-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=41-3693087-05-3786999 And this convertor: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yootech-Connector-Compatible-Chargers-Standard-Grey/dp/B087R1GZ1Q/ref=sr_1_23?crid=37SMHXG6N98F3&dchild=1 Any other suggestions welcome. But I'm a tightwad and don't want to spend more than about £100, if it not a sensible proposition I'll just plug in the windows laptop sans dock and use the Mac as a laptop only. Also will 30hz 4k be poo poo? My gaming won't extend past Civ and stuff like that. It is mainly a work setup for the Windows unit, but it would be nice to stick the Mac on big screen sometimes.

Fame Douglas posted:4k@30 Hz absolutely isn't sufficient, videos will judder weirdly and desktop usage is really unpleasant with a refresh rate that low. Thanks, I got a 60hz dock in the end. Doesn’t work via a USBA>C adaptor unsurprisingly (USB is fine but not HDMI) but works fine with the Mac and only cost £20.
