I have also seen the dual USB 3 and Thunderbolt 3 offered by Asus and Alienware.

Always changing, the exponential curve is getting pretty quick with all of this, hard to keep up to date with the changes. Thanks for the info. I like USB C on my Chromebook Pixel as it also doubles as the power adapter port.
Makes sense from a design standpoint, I have a lot of legacy devices as I record music, so I'd rather have vanilla USB support.
I think at this point there is an opportunity for cable laboratories meaning cable companies to make a USB C to Regular USB cables at least for compatibility.
I think I reached my limit with all of this stuff, sometimes you have to pause the hobby, wait 5 years then jump head first back into it.
USB C can include Thunderbolt 3 within the USB C connector but it doesn't have to. For example the 12" MacBook that Apple released over a year ago has USB C but it does not include Thunderbolt. All of the newly released Mac laptops do (as of Oct 27), but the article below doesn't list them because it was written before Apple's launch of their new laptops.USB C and Thunderbolt 3 are not proprietary. See the article linked below for a list of laptops that support it. There's also a link within the article for a more detailed explanation of USB C & Thunderbolt 3.
I recall discussing Thunderbolt here a couple years ago. Apple haters claimed that it was just another proprietary interface that would never catch on and was destined to die. But Apple was the first to embrace it in it's early incarnations because they saw the potential for this interface among it's high-end 'power users' for video / media creation.
There are a number of Thunderbolt docking stations already on the market and you'll begin to see many more peripherals.
