Thanks for info. When I worked in the NHS I used a setup like this for my windows Laptop. The reasoning was that I would leave this sort of device on my desk for serious connectivity to devices like printers, scanners speakers etc and then simply disconnect the laptop to take it away for meetings etc. The advantage of this setup was that I only had to disconnect one port rather than a multitude of devices. This may be the thinking behind the marketing of this device for the MBA.

I'd first best say that if you purchase one of these docks then you're in for a pleasant surprise, its quite a big metal box and quite heavy so I really don't know why Belkin have marketed this dock towards users of Macbook Air computers, looks more at home with my iMac on the desktop particularly given the massive power supply the dock is supplied with. Okay so the ports on the back: 4 USB 3.0 ports, 1 Firewire 8 port, Mini Display port, 2 Thunderbolt ports, Ethernet 1GB port and audio in and out 3.5 sockets, I just hope this device works as well as it looks <smile>. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
