Computer peripheral maker Zemno has introduced the DeskBook Pro Docking Station, a portable notebook platform that features ModBay technology—the company’s proprietary tech that allows users to plug in modules that can either add more storage.
It’s described to work with both Windows and Mac-based laptops, although the design does seem perfectly matched for Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro. Whatever the platform, it adds a lot of functionality, with 7 USB ports, FireWire 400 and 800 ports, a DVI out port, Audio jacks (in and out), eSATA (data and power) port, and one Ethernet port along the sides. Aside from the number or connectivity interfaces, the DeskBook Pro also comes with a multi-card reader, plus two ModBay slots.
Zemno’s ModBay Technology adds (any two) expansion options for adding either a 500GB hard drive or an extra Li-Ion battery pack that adds up to 2.5 hours per. Zemno also lists another module called the iMod that adds a dock for connecting and charging Apple’s iPods and iPhone.
The DeskBook Pro is set to ship on January 10th for $500. The optional 500GB storage module costs $130, while the battery module costs $100.
