BookEndz or Henge Docks

Found the answer to my own question via an email from MacWorld. Seems no one on this forum knows much about these things, so here's the link in case anyone else was wondering about BookEndz or Henge Docks.

I'm going go with the Henge Dock; looks like a great alternative to a oversized and over priced BookEndz.

Good info; that only confirms that I was thinking the Henge Dock is the way to go. That review of it on MacWorld is hard to overlook.

Thanks for chiming in.

I hear ya...that review from MacWorld could not have shown up in my email at a more opportune time. I'm ready to pull the trigger on something within the next couple days.

Looking at that BookArc you mentioned I'm just blown away at how much that thing costs for as little as it does. I understand it's metal and matches your MBP nicely, but I'm not looking for Form-over-Function, but just the opposite.

I'm only more convinced that the Henge Dock is about the best solution out there for a MBP cable management solution. Unless any one else chimes in on this thread in the next day offering another solution then I'm going for the Henge Doc.

That is great information; thank you for your input. I'm glad to hear you confirm what that MacWorld review said about the set up process. I understand it requires some patience, but if you take the time to do it right it will work perfectly.

I purchased a Henge Dock from Amazon; it's due to arrive today actually. There were a few reviews on Amazon from other people and I was surprised at how negative most of them were. I think the major reason why someone might not like the Henge Dock or say it doesn't work well, is because they don't take the time necesary to set it up correctly.

If there is one thing I've taken from those reviews, the review done by MacWorld, and the input from Nico85 is that you need to be committed to setting it up right. If you don't take the time to set it up correctly you'll be frustrated and believe it doesn't work. The good news is that their website had plenty of documentation to help you get it set up right.

I haven't even gotten my Henge Dock yet, but I think I'm going to be very happy with it. I'm the type of guy who will be patient enough to take the time to set it up right; I'm betting I'll actually enjoy the process; especially since it has to do with the setting up of my MBP work station. That being the case, I'm certain it will work well for me.

Good Info.
