Laptops and notebooks are really made for the road, inside the comfort of your home desktops rule. They have a more ergonomic and fuller keyboard, larger displays and louder speakers – furthermore desktops need no batteries. But if you’re really the travelling laptop-totting type, there’s no need for you to buy a complete desktop system to work comfortable in your own home. Like how wayward UNSC spaceship can find a shelter in Earth’s Cairo Station, your laptop can also find a home in Warpia Easy Dock Wireless Laptop Docking Station. The Warpia Easy Dock allows any laptop, netbook, notebook and yes, even MacBook to wirelessly connect and transform to a conventional desktop.

What happens when you cross an iPhone or an iPod with a 500GB hard disk? The result is far from a mutated piece of mongrel gadgetry that you may expect and imagine; on the contrary it couldn’t be sexier. Think Buffalo Dualie, this cool innovative gadget lets you sync and recharge your iPhone or iPod while at the same time accessing a portable HDD. The Buffalo Dualie is basically an iPhone/iPod dock, a mobile Hard Drive and a two-port USB hub all wrapped in a compact and stylish brushed-aluminum body with black smooth two-tone finish. The included portable HDD is Mac formatted with a large 500GB capacity. It also has a USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 connections for blazing fast transfer rates. That would be a geeky way of killing two birds with one stone – techie style.
The Buffalo Dualie docking station fully supports a variety of Apple’s iPod and iPhone products for synchronizing and charging. These include the iPhone 3G and 3GS, 2nd generation iPod touch, iPod classic and 4th generation iPod nano. To accommodate the different form factors across these Apple products, Buffalo included multiple dock adapters to match the client’s iPod or iPhone model. Power wise, Dualie is unbelievably environment friendly with measly 2.5 watts energy consumption. This device comes ready to use out of the box. The package already includes the HDD, dock and hub, power adapter, USB and FireWire cables, and a quick set-up guide. Sadly, iPod/iPhone – not included.

Hard drives just keep getting bigger and faster at an exponential rate; it’s like watching a genetically modified baby fused with alien blood feeding on nothing but pure calorie and nutrients – on steroids! Okay, it’s an exaggeration but if you keep upgrading your HDD to keep up with the trend, you’ll end with a stockpile of old hard disk gathering dust and waiting for the next garage sale. Rather than disposing your old hard disk or providing an individual enclosure for each one of them, consider getting a Skarkoon Technology’s QuickPort Combo.
