Kanex launches simpleDock USB 3.0 dock for your MacBook
Now that you've ordered that fancy new MacBook, you'll need a dock to keep your cables tidy when you're out and about, right? Kanex has decided to produce a dock that ditches Display and Thunderbolt-out posts in favor of something a little more elegant, and most importantly, cheaper. The simpleDock is a hefty (trust us) rubber-and-metal sled that offers three USB 3.0 ports, a 10W USB 2.0 charging slot and Gigabit Ethernet. Connecting to your Mac (or PC) over a micro-USB 3.0 port and with its own power supply, there's even a slot so you can pass through a cable onto the top shelf, making it an ideal platform-agnostic smartphone dock as well. It's available from right about now, and will set you back $119.
