    @alkesandrmakov Yes, we are working on them as we speak.

    @e001kx77rus Great question! The unibody MacBooks are all designed to run with the screen closed. We’ve done extensive load testing over the last 18 months and have found no issues with running a MacBook closed, or in the vertical position!

    Our CEO had a furniture design company for a while, that’s was one of his original designs.

    @FretFrenzy08 Yup, that’s what we recommend for most of the plugs!

  5. HengeDocks says:

    Typically, cases interfere with the docking setup since Henge Docks rely on a very precise fit to make all of the connections reliably.

  6. HengeDocks says:

    @teampl4y4 Due to an unexpectedly high sales volume we are unable to give a solid date on when the next models will be ready. We are working with our manufacturer to get them out as soon as possible!

  7. teampl4y4 says:

    When is the 17″ unibody henge dock coming out? :)

  8. Ubik1337 says:

    Really cool idea, but it would be a pain to take it out of the dock each time you want to turn it on.

  9. pb1051 says:

    Can you have different resolutions setup for the different docks?

  10. baronching says:

    I can’t wait to get my hands on this! I currently have a speck see thru satin case installed on my macbook pro 15″, would this dock be able to accomodate my macbook w/ case setup or would I need to remove my case to be able to use the dock? I’m guessing a lot of people are protecting their macbooks with this case so I think it would be very nice if the dock can work with that case installed. Thank you!

  11. HengeDocks says:

    @alkesandrmakov Yeah, we just switched hosting companies to keep up with the load…

  12. HengeDocks says:

    @hanseich Yup!

  13. HengeDocks says:

    @AsamPlusONE That’s a new one on us!

  14. HengeDocks says:

    @gregdizac We have very special glass tables! Normally we have a Waacom tablet there, but it kinda cluttered up the shot.

  15. HengeDocks says:

    @andrevital You can do a normal shut down, but the Mac must be on or asleep before you place it in the dock.

  16. HengeDocks says:

    @jspafford We’re working on a TOS Link solution that will be sold separately.

  17. HengeDocks says:

    @DeadDreamers The one in the video is an older 13-inch MacBook

  18. HengeDocks says:

    @makuikui We’re working on an optional TOS link cable that will be sold separately.

  19. HengeDocks says:

    @RetributionCore Its an older 28″ Dell, I actually don’t know the model off the top of my head.

  20. HengeDocks says:

    @jasonh1234 Our designer originally did exactly that. We ended up switching sides to allow the tab on the ethernet cable to be depressed automatically when the set screw is locked down.

  21. HengeDocks says:

    @scottjanousek That’s a solid idea right there. We may have to steal that one!

  22. Fraidification says:

    This is SO GENIOUS

  23. jking1974 says:

    this is great, I can’t wait to buy this!!!

  24. scottjanousek says:

    If it doesn’t already it should come with a wire shield cover. This would be a tube that fits and wraps around all the wires to hide them … I suppose tie clips would work, but a cleaner solution would the wire shield. I do this for my home stereo system to hide the wire ugliness.

  25. jasonh1234 says:

    One thing that kinda surprises me is that the cable holding screws are on the “up” side of the Macbook. If I worked for Henge I’d have put the Henge logo on that side and the screws on the “bottom” side.

    I also kinda wonder about the effect the screws would have on the cable ends.
