The HumanCentric DockBook is a straightforward approach to have extra of a desktop-like expertise with a MacBook Professional with out sacrificing the moment mobility of a laptop computer. It is a vertical USB-C dock with the pace of Thunderbolt three and works with all 13-, 15- and 16-inch MacBook Professional fashions with Contact Bar produced from 2016 and 2020. For hoteling or hot-desking, it is a improbable addition to a desk setup.  

The cantilever-style design snuggly holds the MacBook Professional vertically whereas additionally appearing as a pass-through for the 2 Thunderbolts on both facet of the laptop computer. As a result of the ports on either side of the MacBook have equivalent spacing, the left or proper facet might be slotted in. There are pads contained in the mount that grip and maintain the MacBook in place. Whereas it adjusts some, the slot would not accommodate the slim hardshell case I exploit. A slimmer case may work, although.

Once more, the DockBook merely duplicates the 2 USB-C ports on the MacBook Professional on the rear of the dock. When you want different connections corresponding to HDMI or DisplayPort outputs, Ethernet, USB-A ports or an SD/microSD card reader, you will want to attach an extra USB-C dock to the DockBook or think about HumanCentric’s vertical stand that is mixed with a built-in USB-C dock. It isn’t as elegant because the DockBook however connects your MacBook to rather more. 

The DockBook, nonetheless, is ideal for a show like Dell’s UltraSharp U3223QZ monitor that has a whole lot of additional connectivity built-in. With the precise cable, although, you’ll be able to join from USB-C to HDMI or DisplayPort as nicely. I do know it may not look like a lot of an inconvenience to attach a cable or two, however having the ability to sit down at a desk, slide a MacBook Professional into the DockBook and get proper to work is a significantly better expertise. And once you’re achieved for the day, you merely slide it again out, put it in your bag and go. The one-cable connection means much less mess in your desk, and the vertical design means extra desk area, too. The one draw back for me is, with the MacBook closed, I can not use Contact ID. 

The dock’s footprint is minimal, too, in comparison with one thing like Brydge’s vertical dock, which stands the MacBook on finish creating extra of a tower that wants a wider base to steadiness. The DockBook is extra low-profile and, as a result of it’s open-ended, it may be used with 13-, 15- and 16-inch fashions so it is not vital to purchase a size-specific model of it. 

The DockBook is on the market straight from HumanCentric for $168 and it’ll ship to the US, Canada and UK. HumanCentric additionally sells by Amazon within the UK and Australia. The value converts to roughly £135 or $240.
