As you may have seen, I figured out why my Intel NUC wasn’t working with the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock over the past weekend. This was a big win for me, as it makes my desktop setup more portable in the sense that I can now easily replace the NUC with other computers without having to swap a lot of cables around.  

But then I found something unexpected: Neither of the two Chromebooks I tested with the dock would work. Yes, the dock would charge the Chromebooks. But they couldn’t access any of the peripherals connected to the dock.
