    While usb docks provide all ports, they come with limitations:

    1) you still need to plug 2 cables (usb connector, power)
    2) it's bandwidth is limited
    3) no linux support for displays

    Some companies e.g. landingzone ( http://www.landingzone.net/) or hengedocks ( http://hengedocks.com/) build port replicators for macbooks that simply connect to the native ports of the machine.

    I would love to see one for the xps13 2015.
