Do you ship to Germany?

[HengeDocks]

@sylex87 Yes.

[Soul5haker]

you should find a solution to cover up those holes on the side to give it a fully nice and clean look

[HengeDocks]

@Soul5haker All of our docks (save the 13-inch models) now have the set screws on the opposite side.

If you read up on Apple's support page they state that you shouldn't run a MacBook closed as the exhaust fan would blow straight onto the screen. I can't see running it in this sideways position does it any favors either!

[HengeDocks]

@inggames That is not the case with current models, in fact Apple specifically condone the running of their computers in the closed position on their Support site.

@hrzns Good catch, the 13-inch MacBook that we were using in the demo video did not have the Apple EFI 1.4 firmware update that fixed a sleep/wake bug. After several dozen takes of putting it to sleep and waking it back up over and over again it started to lag. So rather than continually restart that computer we used a spare 15-inch MacBook Pro hooked up to the TV. We would have used the 15 to shoot the video, but we only had one prototype dock at the time and needed 3 for the demo video.

@ZDProductionz Henge Docks come with a selection of cords specific to each model. For a full list check out the "more details tab" on the order page of our website.

@RowanHallMaudslay Depending on the exchange rate between 37 and 46 pounds not including shipping or any VAT/customs fees your country may (or may not) tack on.

@mikemurko 3) In general you can use a generic bootless cat5 cable as long as you break the locking tab off. You can also purchase a female female connector to join the cables.

4) We include stereo extension cables with the docks. If you use Mini TOSLINK we now are offering 3 foot long custom versions of that cable as well.

1)They are supposed to fit, however we've heard of newer VGA adapters being larger. We will begin offering Mini DisplayPort extensions as well as our own line of VGA adapters shortly.

2) We have a lot of customers that run Windows without a problem. There may be individual systems settings you have to tweak to get the MacBook to stay on while closed running Boot Camp, but most of the time it just works.

@shauners666 The MagSafe Adapter tools are only included with and compatible with docks manufacturer after October 2010. Some first generation docks may still be on the market through third party retailers, but they are no longer sold through our website.

The best way to get a hold of customer service is through email or the contact form on the website.

in the vid, you just pulled the mac out of the dock without unmounting any external drives. isn't that not a recommended idea? you'll get that warning message an unsafely removed hdd. am I missing something?
