My Work Office MacBook Pro External Monitor Setup

Nice setup! What’s the docking station for the MBP? Is there anything on the other side of the MBP which we can’t see? Looks like you have only one USB A coming out of it. How are you connected to the monitor?

I’m deciding between (A) running my MBP 16" in clamshell mode like you have your MBP 13", or (B) running it open on a stand next to an external monitor as an extra display. Either way, I’d love to not have to plug in 4 cables every time…
