PERFECT for Docking a 16" Macbook Pro
Wow. This product is VERY well designed. It installs so easily you can do it within a minute. It is very sturdy and well built. There is padding all over the inside of the first holder and one side of the second holder. There were a few tiny nicks in the body but nothing sharp and it seems like they cleaned it up before powdercoating. They openings on side of the holder are the perfect size for passing cables through to the ports on my 16" Macbook Pro. You can see the picture I included. They are literally in the exact right spot for you to be able to access all the ports on your laptop so I have to assume that was intentional. It is wild that they are not marketing that feature because I did a lot of calculations using the dimensions they listed and mapping them to their product pictures to figure out if I could do exactly that. I bought a similar product that didn't allow me to place my laptop right side up (Apple logo in the correct position, not upside down) and connect to the ports and I returned it. If you are limited on desk space or just want to have a clear desk, this is a great product. I have two larger monitors on arms on my standing desk and first tried a a vertical dock I 3D printed. That worked well but somewhat limited being able to move my monitors around because the arms or monitor would hit the laptop. I then started looking for docks like these and was going to look at under desk mounting options if this one didn't work out so I'm so happy it did. I don't see anyone else in the reviews mentioning the port access so I wanted to highlight that. I also want to point out that it does matter what orientation you stand the laptop up because the vents are blocked if you put the laptop upside down into this holder. You can see a lot of review pictures where people do this - don't do that. I saw one review mentioning it won't keep the laptop perfectly vertical as the opening is too big - I solved that by just making it a tighter fit for my laptop by putting the brackets as close together as I could. There is padding all along the sides of the first holder so you risk 0 damage to your laptop by getting a tight fit. I found that the easiest method to ger the right fit is to loosely intall them, tighten one side, then hold your laptop up while you get the other side in the desired position, and then tighten it. I couldn't be happier with the product. I will be putting my work laptop, gaming laptop, and tablet on here. I'd probably be oushing the weight limit with a backpack but maybe I'll empty the heavy stuff from the pack and do that to keep it off the floor. The only con, which some have mentioned, is that the non slip padding for the upper clamp arm comes off easy but I think that is due to the pressure being applied when you tighten it down. It would be nice if it was just a little more plush but overally, I still think this is a 5 star product. Well done. I highly recommend this product. Read more
