If there is one accessory that a large majority of Macbook pro users really need, it is a dock. From the Powerbook duo with its duo dock, Apple has not deigned to remove any official dock for its laptops, making having to place them on the desk when we are in a fixed place, whether for work or leisure, everything is filled with cables to connect peripherals or external devices .
In the end, it was not Apple but Zenboxx that gave us another "unofficial" dock to add to the already on the market. The promotion of this dock has been carried out through the KickStarter page, which is a magnificent launching pad for interesting projects and from which we can help the creators of this dock to bring their creation to fruition.
Zenboxx has already ensured that the manufacture of this dock complies with demanding regulations and that the final product is of quality, marrying perfectly with the treated aluminum that Macbooks have.
Our products are precision machined milled from solid blocks of ultra high quality T6061 aluminum, anodized and ball polished.
The base of this dock integrates Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire 800, Mini DisplayPort, three USB 3.0 ports (USB 2.0 in old MacBooks), microphone input and 3,5mm audio jack connection. For its part the Zendock version for the Macbook Pro Retina It features Mini DisplayPort, three USB 3.0 ports, microphone, and speaker ports plus an optional Gigabit Ethernet adapter and a compatible Thunderbolt connection through the top-side connector. The cables and source for the MagSafe and MagSafe 2 come separately as there is no room to stuff it inside.
The expected price of the Zendock retail is $ 179. But if you support the initiative on Kickstarter now by buying one before its departure, the price would be around $ 129.
From the photos it seems that the external appearance is quite good with quality aluminum, only it remains to be seen if it works so well as its external appearance indicates.
