Multi-Port Laptop Rods

LandingZone Dock Adds More Plug-In Outlets for Devices

— December 5, 2011 — Tech
Most people who own a MacBook Air will probably tell you that there's a lack of USB ports to use on the laptop; however, the LandingZone Dock aims to change that problem.

The LandingZone Dock is a rod with multiple outlets that are fit for different types of plug-ins. This includes four additional USB ports, an Ethernet port, a DisplayPort and a Kensington lock port. It will come with an AC adapter as well for extra power. An additional benefit to the LandingZone is that it props up the MacBook Air at an angle, which allows for better air circulation. This will keep the computer running at a cooler temperature and decrease the chances of shutting down due to overheating.

The LandingZone Dock is compatible with 11" and 13" MacBook Air models.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-port Laptop Docks - Opportunity for companies to create similar multi-port dock products for laptops with limited USB ports.
2. Angle-adjustable Laptop Stands - Innovation opportunity for laptop stands that prop up laptops at angles to improve air circulation and prevent overheating.
3. USB Port Extenders - Opportunity to create USB port extenders that can be plugged into laptops to increase the number of available plug-ins.
Industry Implications
1. Technology Accessories - This trend presents an opportunity for companies in the technology accessories industry to expand their product lines with multi-port laptop docks.
2. Office Supplies - There is an opportunity for companies in the office supplies industry to market and sell angle-adjustable laptop stands for ergonomic workplaces.
3. Electronics Manufacturing - Opportunity for electronics manufacturing companies to develop and produce USB port extenders to meet the high demand for devices with limited plug-ins.
