Reverse Thunderbolt/USB-C Dock

[SS18]

Hi everyone,

 

TL;DR - I am looking for a dock that basically converts old inputs (HDMI & full size USBs) into a Thunderbolt/USB-C port output.

 

I see a lot of docks that connect to a laptop using Thunderbolt/USB-C and provide outputs such as full-size USB, headphone jack, HDMI, etc. I am looking for the reverse of that.

I have an older laptop that has 1 HDMI, 2 full-size USB ports that I'd like to plug into the dock and have one Thunderbolt/USB-C connection output on the dock.

 

I currently have a USB-C dongle that I switch between my MacBook and a ThinkPad both of which have Thunderbolt ports, so it's a simple unplug and re-plug to switch all my peripherals and monitor between the two. I'd like to have that new dock also convert all my old laptop's ports into a simple USB-C port that I connect the dongle to and also add my old laptop into the mix. (See picture for clarity)

Do the existing docks already work in that way? I don't have one to test that and would like to know before I make a purchase

 

Thanks for any suggestions and help.

 

P.S. The old laptop is a Lenovo Y50-70, still running perfectly well, so don't want to replace it yet
