This is literally just a sleeker/modernized version of the PowerBook Duo / Dock [1]. What's old is new again.

They were actually really cool, the motorized mechanism that accepted the Duo into the Dock just felt really smooth / sturdy / elegant.

Would you mind elaborating on this a bit? I’m curious and that link doesn’t provide a ton of deeper detail. Does this extend the RAM of the laptop you dock in it? Or is it just peripherals?
