 I've said it before I'm gonna say it again I am a sucker for a dock but I am at the line dock booth with Quentin Melgo and this is a dock unlike anything I've ever seen before. Hi Quentin how you doing? Hi Allison I'm doing fine thank you we're incredibly excited to be here tonight to introduce the 16 inch line dock but perhaps I should first explain you what is the line dock. Yes yes and by the way we love Belgians. Thank you thank you so yeah Nancy and I were two co-founder were born and raised in Belgium and we had this incredible idea to tap into USB-C and use it as an opportunity to finally smash together all those accessories that we carry on every day all those adapters and charges and dongles and external hard drives and everything well we wanted to make it beautiful because they're just usually 50 bucks plastic potatoes well we decided to do it to go for something different so we made this 9 millimeter piece of aluminum that you slide underneath your MacBook that packs one extra charge for your MacBook so hang on let me describe this sure it looks like he's holding a MacBook that has no logo on it in his hand it's very thin but it's the same space gray but it looks like a MacBook it's a flat 13 inch yes very very thin device so now what does it what does it have yeah so it has one extra charge for your MacBook so it's a built-in battery insanely powerful up to 60 watt power output so it's charging just as fast as a wall charger right you can actually fast charge the MacBook Air with it because the MacBook Air comes with a 30 watts power adapter this one is 60 watts you get it charged up to 50% twice as fast so this is power delivery right yes power delivery is 60 watts our delivery is my favorite thing invented yeah yeah it's not it's not so apart from that we got up to one terabyte SSD so it's available in three storages option first option is zero gigs no storage second is 256 and for the really heavy users we have a one terabyte option all right so this flat piece of aluminum yes it's not just a dock but it's also an SSD if that's what you need but you don't have to pay for it if you don't need it exactly precisely that's that's our strategy right let's talk ports though we got to talk for it yeah so for the ports you connected with yes you connected using a USB-C cable and then you get access to one two USB three ports an SD card slot this is the battery indicator oh the button we all miss on the MacBook Pro it's gone it's been gone but yeah a little button and it showed a bunch of little blue LEDs oh I love that yes with a nice fade in fade out you know it's not like one two three we wanted to make it beautiful pretty yeah yeah yeah on the back we have a charging USB-C port you know these vent air vents this is passive cooling no fans no noise no noise good and on the other side we got an extra USB-C port a third USB 3 port a mini display port and an HDMI port wow that is beautiful so you but your MacBook Pro is just going to cover all this up it's just going to sit on top of it right exactly it's sitting flush you're losing zero square inches of workspace there you go I like that yeah thanks and the way it works is you have this tiny USB-C cable that is called a U cable because it's an U shape it's holding this in my hand yeah it looks like a little tiny horseshoe maybe an inch across it's got two little USB ports and on our USB connectors so I'm guessing USB-C sorry so I'm guessing it put plugs into the side and then it plugs into your laptop precisely that's how it goes that is so clean I love this thank you thank you so that is a 13 inch MacBook line doc I'm sorry that's been available since last year but today we're announcing the line doc 16 inch all right I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro let's talk friends fantastic so we've revamped the whole thing from A to Z so first with double everything double the SSD speed with double the USB C hub speed with increase the battery size and double the power so it's up to 100 watts power output from the battery nice yes but then we stopped like doubling things and flexing with the engineers and started thinking from a user perspective because who are the 16 inch MacBook Pro users their videographers their photographers like you and they need things that other people don't what do they need they need SD cards and fast one so we've added a second SD card slot and both of them are UHS 2 which gives you 350 megabits per second read and write that's like cow yeah I know I know and happy USB port yes we still have fanless passive cooling passive cooling and then we've shifted the video output at the back and added a second one so now we have dual HDMI output and that allows for the sleekest setup you could possibly think of because look over there we have two monitors a dual monitor setup with a MacBook and a line dock and you don't see any cable because all the cables are in the back yeah yeah this I'm gonna take a picture of this for the show notes because that is just gorgeous there's there's literally nothing I can see a little bit of a cable coming off a one monitor but that's it everything cable is and of course we're on the other side on the other side we kept the USB 3 ports because we still need them yes we do yes so they're USB type A USB 3 cable precisely yes and power delivery on this side and we still wait we still got our lights yeah yeah of course but unless we burn the battery out today so yeah so let's talk about pricing if we look at the 13 inch line dock let's say no memory in it what are we talking at 349 USD then you had you had a hundred dollars and you get 256 gigabytes for 449 that could just be your backup drive there yeah exactly it's just a backup you know 256 is just what you need and then for heavy users on 13 inch we get the one-terabyte version retailing for 749 USA alright now the 16 inch that we're announcing today will be available in March but I can't really let you know the price yet because we're still you're a big tease I know I know no but we're quite enough you're all we've been through together you're not going to tell me here just whispered into this microphone no I can't disappoint you we still have a few details to fix we're a really small team only three people here we're working really hard but today we're still waiting for one or two quotes from our suppliers so precisely because yeah exactly this is this is beautiful work and I think you're in the right market because Apple people appreciate a beautiful design and a lot of docs are at the horizontal lay on your desk and they take up a bunch of space I've been favoring like the Cal digit TS3 plus that at least stands up yes so it doesn't take up a lot of room but this doesn't take up any room because my Mac would be under it yes yeah yeah exactly and another cool thing about it is that when you're not at your desk and you have your computer in a backpack for instance well this thing is still beautiful in your desk because the other solutions in my opinion they don't right there's people saying it all exactly like this thing is neat and well we put all the love that we have in it so I hope you like it it looks fantastic so quit and if people wanted to find more about line doc where would they go www that line doc that co line doc dot co and it's Belgian you got to love that thank you thank you very much Allison
