The Henge Docks MacBook Pro with Retina Display Horizontal Dock is great way to park your Apple MacBook Pro and get access to additional interface ports typically only found on an iMac. A lot of MacBook Pro users also have iPhones or iPads. So what is the best way to dock your favorite Apple device with the Horizontal Dock?
Of course you can always connect your Apple device using a USB Type-A to Lightning cable to the back of the Horizontal Dock. But where's the fun in that? Chances are that your beautiful iPhone or iPad will get hidden behind papers on your desk or worse yet knocked down on the floor.
Fortunately, Henge Docks came out with the Gravitas, a heavy zinc alloy based stand that you can use for your iPhone or iPad. With the Gravitas, not only can you keep your Apple device charged, but you can connect headphones or speakers like the Beats Pill and play music or videos coming from your Apple device.
If you are using something like an Apple iPad Air 2, you can use the iPad as a secondary touch based display to play your favorite songs, TV shows, or movies from iTunes while working on your MacBook Pro using the keyboard and trackpad.
