Graphics-Boosting Laptop Docks

The iBow External Graphics Docking Station Boosts Mac Performance

— September 13, 2016 — Tech
Those looking to supercharge their MacBook capabilities will find the iBow External Graphics Docking Station to be the perfect solution.

Apple products are notoriously difficult to upgrade and, in some cases, aren't even able to be. As such, the iBow works by enabling users to incorporate the additional components they require or desire without having to crack open their MacBook and install them.

The iBow helps to incorporate additional graphics power, but will also help to provide other key features as well such as three USB ports for charging and Thunderbolt and HDMI ports to boot.

The iBow External Graphics Docking Station works with the MacBook Pro 13-inch, 15-inch and the Mac mini, and is currently available for preorder on Kickstarter with early bird deals available for a limited-time.
Trend Themes
1. External Graphics Docking Stations - The rise of external graphics docking stations presents disruptive innovation opportunities for enhancing the graphics capabilities of laptops and tablets that are not easily upgradeable.
2. Modular Laptop Components - The trend towards modular laptop components allows businesses to maximize the lifespan of their computing investments by enabling upgrades without having to purchase entire new devices.
3. Crowdfunding for Consumer Tech - Crowdfunding for consumer tech products presents an opportunity for innovative startups to bring new and exciting products to market, while engaging with potential customers and building brand awareness.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Hardware - The computer hardware industry can benefit from the trend towards modular laptop components and external graphics docking stations by developing and marketing new add-on products that enhance the capabilities of existing devices.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage the crowdfunding trend to bring attention to new and innovative products, while also building brand trust and generating pre-orders before a product hits the shelves.
3. Gaming - The gaming industry can benefit from the rise of external graphics docking stations by providing cost-effective options for gamers looking to boost the graphics power of their laptops or tablets without investing in a full desktop setup.
