Best Space-Saving Tech Ideas for Back To School

SAN FRANCISCO - Aug. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Back to school for college students often means outfitting a new dorm room with technology and decor. But let’s face it, college dorms don't have much space. Small rooms, tiny desks, and messy roommates plague college living.

While planning for back-to-school necessities, here are a couple of ideas to make the most of the space in a crowded dorm room.

The Vertical Docking Station for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air from Henge Docks helps save precious space on a student’s desk. The vertical orientation creates more space on a desk and helps the MacBook stay ventilated and accessible while reducing cable clutter. It also helps students move from dorm to class quickly without having to unplug and plug-in peripheral cables each time. The Vertical Docking Station integrates the best features of a laptop, desktop, media center PC, and home theater setup.

Need a compact dock for iPhone or iPad? The Gravitas by Henge Docks is a sleek iDevice dock with a small footprint that saves on much needed space. The built-in Lightning connector allows for charging an iPhone, iPad or iPad mini with ease and is also angled perfectly for FaceTime chats. Audio line-out connects to any speaker system for high-quality sound. Charge, sync, view, work, play, browse, chat, listen, and more.

Swappable inserts for all of Apple’s Lightning devices allow for maximum versatility and case compatibility. Its significant heft lends stability for effortless grab-and-go in one quick motion with a single hand. Gravitas’ all-metal construction has a mass of 1.24 kilograms, yet is only about 3-inches in diameter and 2-inches tall, maximizing desk space, ensuring the iPhone or iPad is safe and secure in the sturdiest dock available.

Pricing and Availability

The Vertical Docking Station is available for the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and MacBook ranging from $55.00 to $119.00. The Gravitas dock is available for $69.00 for the Lightning version and $49.00 for the 30-pin version of iPhone and iPad devices.
