LandingZone: Magic Docking Station for MacBook

Ever felt tired of connecting all the cables when you can connect them all at once? LandingZone, a Kickstarter-funded docking station for MacBook Air, aims to solve this problem by making it easy to connect your ultraportable to normal-sized peripherals like keyboards and monitors. 

Kitae Kwon, a semiconductor engineer, wanted a docking station "that's just as beautiful and functional" as the MacBook Air you plug into it, but none existed that were up to his standards. So he designed a simple latching mechanism that secures the laptop's main ports all in one shot. It sounds like a pretty mundane problem, but it is these ergonomic simple designs that make our lives a little simpler.

Kwon's company, infiniWing, brings a platform for diverse functional expansion targeted for Apple laptops. With patent pending locking technology, it utilizes electrical ports on two opposite sides of laptop for mechanical attachments. With its secure integration with Apple laptop and its slim footprint, it can provide a secure desktop docking station or a carry-on attachment. Its applications are secure locking configuration, kickstand, 3G/4G data modem, GPS, external battery, HDMI/VGA port, Ethernet port, USB hub, and so on.
