    Finally a docking station that is useful...

    Finally a docking station that is useful and "hides" the laptop from the table. Easy to use, although it is a little difficult to take the laptop off the docking station at first. It has all the cables you need and is easy to install.
    Simply ingenious.

    Enfin une Docking Station qui est utile et qui cache le portable de la table de travail. Très simple d'utilisation, quoi qu'au début il est un peu difficile d'enlever le portable de la Docking Station. Il y a tous les câbles que l'ont a besoin et leur installation est simple.
    Simplement génial !

    Recommended for all those who have a large screen at their desk and don't want to have to reconnect 5 cables every time.

    This dock turns a MacBook Pro into a desktop PC with a flick of the wrist. Ideal for people who cannot decide between a desktop (e.g. iMac) and a notebook (here: Retina MacBook Pro).

    Plugging in the notebook is child's     play after the first few attempts, you simply must not choke. One of the two Mini DisplayPort cables supplied (no Thunderbolt cables included!) bent on my first day, making it unusable for the Henge Vertical Dock. However, the bending should not happen with correct use, I think I had screwed it on too tightly at the beginning.

    Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to do without the dock again, and am now even considering putting one on every TV in the household, but this would initially require some more power cables, as the notebook can only be used in clamshell mode (i.e. closed) with a screwed-in power cable.
    in clamshell mode (i.e. closed). In the long run, the actually simple installation and removal is quite tedious.

    For me, the design doesn't match the MacBook Pro perfectly, although it seems to be made of the same material. The curves should have been adopted, and fewer edges on the sides.

    Recommendation: Use with a USB 3.0 hub, as only one USB port can be used with the dock.

    • Simplicity

    • Tool for screwing down the connections anchored in the base of the dock by magnet.

    Contra

    • Charging cable not integrated
    • Design not optimal
    • Handling takes some getting used to
