Satechi’s USB-C slim dock is how the iMac shoulda been designed in the first place

There is a lot of garbage in the world of Mac peripherals, so it is refreshing to see the new slim dock from Satechi. The dock is the same size as Apple's wireless keyboard, so when it's not in use, you have a sleek metal hammock. The dock slides neatly on top of the iMac's foot, adding a slew of easy-to-reach features and functions without ruining the good looks of the silver and glass design masterpiece.

I sighed in a not entirely safe way when I saw it. I applaud Apple for its shapely computers, but the company has been leaning towards form over function for a while. I have to crawl behind my computer to plug in a peripheral for a few minutes, then accidentally pull the wrongusb cable out of the back of it when I'm done, it's a gorgeous design and a terrible user experience.

I like a clean desk and look at it. The image is called Satechi.

Satechi swooped in with a product that worked. It adds extra data storage space and extends the number of theusb ports, all through a single cable running to the back of your work-steed.

There is a data port on the dock that can transfer data up to 10 Gbps. It also has a couple of slowerUSB-A 2.0 ports. It's perfect for a grumpy-ass journalist or photographer who wants to get some work done

TheUSB-C dock has a tool-free enclosure. It means you can install a small solid state harddrive to extend the storage capacity on your computer, all at 10 Gbps speeds.

Are you going to put a harddrive in your dock? It makes a lot of sense. The image is called Satechi.

If you order now, the company is running an early-bird special that knocks $30 off the price. The deliveries begin now. My finger would be twitching over the "add to cart" button if I didn't have a dumb Windows box.
