MacBook Pro are laptops with absolutely amazing features that would ever face a desktop PC or Mac in terms of hardware resources, and by definition, the main advantage of a laptop is mobility.

If we want to transform a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro a desktop / iMac, our first solution is to connect the device to an external monitor. harbor Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) present on generations of MacBook Pro / Air in recent years is able to withstand video output up to 4K resolution.
In this scenario, however, there would be at least one inconvenience. During operation, the MacBook must remain with the flap open and we must either use the device's keyboard or connect an external one. Space on a desk would be a real problem if we used the MacBook as a desktop with two external monitors.

A good solution to transform a MacBook Pro or Air in a desktop connected to one or two external monitors, is Vertical Dock full Brydge.

Designed with a elegant and premium design in style Apple, these docking stations are are designed primarily for the purpose to occupy as little office space as possible but also to ensure optimal performance when working.

There is also a mention to be made. Vertical Dock full Brydge supports video output Thunderbolt 3 only for one display. Enough to turn your MacBook into one iMac. If you want to connect two display- a splitter is also needed USB-C additional.

The connection between MacBook and Vertical Dock it is done in a second, by simply plugging in dock. MacBook power supply will be provided by Vertical Dock, which is provided with a own energy control systemand intake and exhaust slots of the station ensures a good air circulation from and to the MacBook, thus holding temperature under control during work tasks.

The price for this docking station is 160 EUR and can be ordered online directly from the manufacturer's website, on brydge.eu/products/macbook-vertical-dock.

Currently this model of vertical dock is not compatible for new generations of MacBook Pro si MacBook Air equipped with the chip Apple M1, but it is very possible that in the near future there will be vertical docking solutions for the new generations of MacBooks launched by Apple.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
