I really don't get why Apple hasn't got into the dock game at all. With full vertical integration, they could literally make a doc that has cooling interface built in which can make laptops able to run faster.

I remember Intel MBP 16" suffered VRM overheat and the method that transfer heat to bottom shell case by attaching thermal pad was there too. Sometime Apple intentionally ignores engineering problems when they want to push some product design aspects.
