I was enjoying my current MacBook setup where it’s connected via Wi-Fi, but I just wanted to buy a proper laptop dock for it, like with what I have at work. I spent the morning playing Apex Legends with Batao and Bucs, though, so that was fun and we actually won! We kept playing up until 3 a.m. and I even ordered some food for myself, which was nice. I stayed on call with them up until the very early morning and left just so I could get some sleep. For most of the day, work came and went and I was fixated on getting a new dock for myself. I researched the best possible dock and landed on the Dell WD22TB4 dock. I logged into Facebook for the first time in a while and scoured through Facebook Marketplace. I posted to a well-known FB group that has a lot of electronics and I got a few messages. One of them messaged me saying that they had a brand-new one that they were selling and I took a chance on it. I went to Gilmore and then bought the thing. It was starting to get a bit dark so I had to hurry up. I booked a ride home as soon as I could and I got absolutely rained on, despite the driver offering me a raincoat. I went home through the pouring rain and I discovered that I had bought an inferior version of the product that I wanted. I got a WD19S instead of the WD22TB4, and they literally looked like the same dock. I came to find out that they were essentially the same, except for the Thunderbolt 4 module. I was off by 2 USB C ports that I definitely would have caught had I not rushed in buying it and took a minute to confirm the pictures. Needless to say, I felt absolutely down because I clearly asked for a WD22TB4 on my post and they sold me something else. I was pretty downcast because I got rained on, but I at least had a functioning dock I could plug in ethernet and DisplayPort to. I found out that it wasn’t capable of HDR at 1440p@180hz, which sucked hard and I was essentially left to using the DisplayPort to USB C cable once again for full display fidelity, which was the exact opposite reason as to why I wanted to buy a laptop dock in the first place.Scammed through the lack of due diligence
