Video: LandingZone – an extremely useful dock for MacBook Air

   There are many docks on the market for Apple iDevices, but very few for Macs. Well LandingZone comes to solve this problem and offers MacBook Air owners the opportunity to connect their Mac to an external monitor and wired peripherals without much effort. The video clip above shows as well as possible the functionality of the LandingZone dock and notice that simply inserting it into the dock allows the user to use the Mac as a main computer with an external monitor.

   Here are the main features of LandingZone:

  • Total of 4 USB 2.0 ports; no need to attach a separate USB hub
  • Built-in 10/100T Ethernet port; no more dongles for the Ethernet or fumbling with the cable
  • Built in Mini DisplayPort capable of driving resolution up to 2560×1440
  • Built in locking port compatible with all the Kensington Locks; now you can secure your MacBook Air
  • Two models to support either the 11″ or 13″ version of the MacBook Air (2010 or later)
  • Beautifully designed and engineered for simplicity, elegance, reliability and functionality (patent pending)
  • Comes with US power adapter which accepts wide range of input voltage (100~240 Vac)

   LandingZone is currently only a project available on the kickstarter.com website, but as things stand, it could easily receive the funding it needs to be produced in series.
