    Hey all,

    Just got one of the new MacBook Pro 13" last week and am after a decent dock for it.

    Anyone got any recommendations?

    The Apple laptop doesn't support docking stations, you need business level laptops.

    The best you can do, is get a stand (or nothing), and manually attach every cables that you may need, instead of simply sliding the laptop into a connector.

    The best one I have seen so far is the Henge dock.

    Just after some personal recommendations really!

    I was actually going to recomend that one after seeing it on engadget, but it seems you already find it, i've never seen any other kind of docks for macbooks tbh

    I would have thought there would be dozens of them available, it is not as though the unibody design is brand new or anything.

    The problem is. There is no support for a dock from Apples side, so the Mac lacks all form of a "click-in" connector in the bottom.

    ^ This.

    The Engadget-reviewed one is the most promising I've seen, too. I'd go for that.

    I do see your point, but the Henge solution is quite a good option so I am just surprised there are not a few of them about.

    Looks like I will see about getting a Henge in the near future then!

    Cheers for the replies guys.
