The Henge Docks Stone USB-C is an intelligently engineered USB docking station that's unique in the fact that it maintains an exceptionally slim and lightweight profile despite its ability to hold a trio of USB 3.1 ports, a USB-C connection, a Mini Display port, an ethernet cable and an SD card reader in addition to its own power supply cable.

Designed to be used in conjunction with MacBook and [MacBook Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook-pro-docking-station) devices, this USB docking station weighs in at only 225 grams and measures 6.7 x 3.2 x 1 inches.

What's more, this USB docking station features an elegant, gray aluminum casing that gives it a sleek appearance, and it's no coincidence that the station's styling is similar to that of the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

Ultimately, the Henge Docks Stone USB-C is a great example of a computing gadget that's designed to be reliable to call upon, and non-intrusive when not in use.
