No one can doubt the beautiful design of the iMac. Already the model before the current 24-inch iMac had an iconic design that made you fall in love as soon as you saw it. And now, it is simply spectacular. Too bad that for my personal taste, I find the apple missing on the front.
But if you are a user who usually uses USB memory sticks or SD cards, you will have noticed that because of this design, the accesses to the ports are behind the screen. Kind of impractical, really, and you end up using an auxiliary port hub. If you have one of the new iMacs, you'll end up buying this Satechi dock designed for it.
The well-known accessory manufacturer Satechi just released a new stand for the iMac M1 today. The aluminum USB-C Slim Dock puts multiple USB-C, USB-A, and SD ports right in front of you. It also features a tool-less NVMe SSD slot to easily expand your iMac's storage. And all this, with a design that is fully integrated with your new iMac.
Designed for the iMac M1
As its name suggests, the USB-C Slim Dock it's very thin, about the same height as Apple's Magic Keyboard. The case of this accessory is designed to rest perfectly on the stand of the iMac M1, and its design blends well with the aesthetics of the iMac.
The specifications of the USB-C Slim Dock are as follows:
- 1 USB-C port to connect to iMac.
