The known functionality provided by the dock when connected to an Apple USB-C host is outlined below. Now, if only Dell would do something to make that cable detachable.The WD19TBS dock with v1.0.14.1 update (which includes NVM43 firmware) and the WD22TB4 dock with 00.00.07.01 update (which includes NVM36 firmware) was certified by Apple. So for $199.99, the additional functionality is worth it, especially if you plan on upgrading to 4K monitors sooner rather than later.
If you're looking to save a bit of cash, don't need USB Type-A support or want to power older monitors, consider the $179.99 Plugable USB-C Triple Display Dock, which also supports three monitors over USB Type-C, though only one will output at 4K. And while the built-in adapter's implementation is clumsy, it's the cleverest solution out there that will move you from legacy ports to the newest standard. If you need a dock that supports USB 3.0 and USB Type-C in the future, the D6000 isn't just your best option at the moment, it's your only option. On laptops that worked with the dock, 4K video playback was smooth, and I didn't notice any lag when supporting all of the displays. Over USB 3.0, it output to two monitors without issue.
Of the laptops I tested, the one with the biggest issues was the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro, which didn't consistently charge over the 65W adapter (possibly due to the demands of its discrete graphics, though the XPS 15 and its GPU worked fine) and didn't output to any of the monitors over USB Type-C.
