The Satechi Slim Dock is an aftermarket desktop accessory for [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invzi-maghub-2) computer users to incorporate onto their workstation when looking to increase connectivity and convenience.

The dock works with the 24-inch [iMac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperdrive-hub) and slips discreetly onto the base of the desktop computer to keep it subtly within reach. The dock is equipped with a tool-free NVMe SSD enclosure for your choice of internal storage along with three USB-A ports, a USB-C port and card reader slots.

The Satechi Slim Dock is sized with the Apple [Magic Keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-magicbridge) in mind and will allow it to sit neatly on top. This will enhance organization and keep a desktop looking clean to accommodate users spending an ever-increasing amount of time at their workstation.
