The MacBook Dock of Your Dreams

By on April 17, 2011

A poem for you…

MacBooks are cool.
MacBooks rock.
But one thing they’re missin’
is a really cool dock.

Okay, so maybe this poem isn’t the best poetry in the world but the good news is that there’s a dock for your MacBook that truly is poetry in motion.  It’s called a henge dock and it’s quite possibly the best dock out there for Macs.

Looks Great
First, it just looks great.  It’s not one of those USB “dock” things with a thousand exposed wires.  This dock is artfully and thoughtfully designed.  This thing looks neat and clean as any accessory for an Apple product should.  It also saves valuable desktop real estate by storing your MacBook vertically.

Plenty O’ Flavors and Connections
The dock comes in every flavor imaginable.  That is to say that they are offered for every MacBook out there.  This means that all you have to do is just slide your MacBook into the unit and all the connectors are exactly where they ought to be.  Just imagine, all those wires and cables connected to your MacBook with just one easy motion.

Another thing that’s absolutely brilliant about these docks is that you can remove the connections you don’t use or want.  Simply make the connections you want and forget about the rest.

Other Uses
Beyond a standard desk configuration, you could also use a henge dock when connecting your Mac to your entertainment system.  Again, it would look great there and it wouldn’t take up much space because it’s vertical.  Obviously, two docks would come in handy here.  One for your desk and then another for your media center.  With both docks in place, moving from desk to TV would be nearly effortless.

Details
The docks range in cost from $59.95 to $74.95 but they could certainly save you a lot of money in the long run if the alternative is to have a Mac at each station.  Henge Dock also offers a bit of a discount if you order two docks at the same time.  This would probably be the way to go.  You could have one dock at home and one at work or one at your desk and one at your media center.
