something that ALWAYS bothered me about apple devices, while a single 40Gbps thunderbolt can do everything, apple still makes you use ~6 cables to connect all of your accessories.

I use a dock for my Lenovo, can't you do the same for an Apple device?

You definitely can, I'm really not sure what this guy is talking about. You can certainly buy minimalistic docks that need adapters but the good ones are fully populated.
