| Customer Reviews: Works with Macs as described, and I'm buying several more July 28, 2010 Georgia Kent 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this mini-dock for more than a year and it works perfectly fine with my MacAir and my MacBook Pro. The individual docks rotate, which makes inserting and removing various extensions a breeze. I routinely use all the ports on it (camera, keyboard, stick, iPod, mouse etc) and plug things in and out more often than healthy. It does what it's supposed to do, it's lightweight, it's very nicely designed, and so far has required zero maintenance. Definitely worth the money.
You'll notice a one-star review below; I believe that rating is unwarranted. The reviewer tried plugging in the CD/DVD super drive for the MacAir. As pointed in a comment by a different reviewer: "Apple has always indicated that the Superdrive's power requirements prevent it being used with any hub, even a powered one. [...]."
It's not the hub's fault; per Apple's statement, the MacAir super drive currently does not work with any hubs, powered or not, due to its power requirements. Which is why (among other issues), I guess, I did not buy the Apple drive, and went with a Samsung model.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a fine product -- and that's exactly what I'm buying for our lab.
MINI DOCK DOES NOT SUPPORT APPLES EXTERNAL SUPER DRIVE December 31, 2009 MALE DOC 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I PURCHASED THIS KENSINGTON 3-USB MINI DOCK WITH ETHERNET EXCLUSIVELY FOR MY MACBOOK AIR.
I INITIALLY INSTALLED THE MAC COMPAIBLE SOFTWARE WITH APPLE'S EXTERNAL SUPER DRIVE VIA A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE MACBOOK AIR WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND AND THEREAFTER PLUGGED THE MINI DOCK WHICH EASILY MADE A ETHERNET Hard wired connection. HOWEVER TO USE THE SUPERDRIVE USB CONNECTED TO THE KENSINGTON USB MINI DOCK WITH OR WITHOUT THE SUPPLIED USB POWER ADAPTER FROM KENSINGTON DOES NOT MAKE THE APPLE SUPERDRIVE WORK AT ALL.
THE APPLE EXTERNAL SUPER DRIVE WILL ONLY WORK VIA A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE MACBOOK AIR. THIS IS VERY STRANGE FOR A PLUG AND PLAY DEVICE NOT TO WORK ON THIS DEVICE.
CALLED KENSINGTON BASICALLY NO HELP AWAITING TO CONTACT APPLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT BUT ITS CLOSED BEFORE THE NEW YEAR.
HOPEFULLY TO GET SOME SUPPORT FROM APPLE SINCE THEY ALSO SELL THIS DEVICE IN THE APPLE STORE.
