Right now I have a Dell Universal Dock D6000 which works well on both my Macbook 13 laptop and Windows laptop. Never had any issues or problems with it. I think I would recommend that to you. 🙃

Hey there! I recommend checking out the CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock as it is considered one of the best docking stations for the MacBook Pro 13. It offers a variety of ports for connecting multiple monitors, a mechanical keyboard, and a mouse. It also provides fast data transfer speeds and can charge your MacBook at the same time. Hope that helps!

sorry for the delay
lenovo was getting hot, Dell's too, ALOGIC has been warm on the touch but otherwise really cool compared to the other two
please note that im using a 14inch M2 Pro with 32gb of ram and with the things i do the CPU is always at 40+ %
the 16 inch draw more power
also, if your not using your macbook in clamshell mode, the laptop will need more juice from the dock which could leed to more heat

I guess the more displays it has the more power is drawn out, basic logic breahh. But anyway, thanks for the response even though its kinda late.
