CalDigit:

As laptops are becoming more portable and lightweight they are losing many of their interface options. The CalDigit Thunderbolt™ Station brings back those connections, and streamlines  them into a portable aluminum device. By connecting the CalDigit Thunderbolt™ Station to a Mac you can add three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and Audio In/Out. All this for an MSRP of $199.

The HDMI port on the Thunderbolt Station supports resolutions of up to 2560×1600. It also supports HDCP playback to enable playing of iTunes content on an HDMI display. By daisy-chaining a Thunderbolt monitor alongside a HDMI monitor you can have up to a maximum of three displays including a laptop’s built in display.

The Thunderbolt Station also boasts USB 3.0 ports that support full 5Gbs transfer speeds.
