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.
