Glassed Silver:mac
I thought 15" rMBP sucked the air in from the sides (where there are vents) and blew it out the back.
Extra real estate is key (I'm a film editor so I've got my 27" iMac along with 2 external monitors), but you're not really gaining all that much real estate if you're not using the monitor that you paid for in the laptop...all you're doing is pushing the information over to another monitor...
I feel like you've mistaken the speaker grill for vents, but I've never had a 15" rMBP.
Won't this harm your laptop hard drive long term?
I talked several times on this forum , and I was convinced that macbooks do not over-heat . They are designed to handle any heat due to processing power and its not damaging to the hardware, so why the add-on fan?
Are you really this dense? Can you put your iMac in your backpack and take it with you? People like the portability of a laptop but at home want a bigger screen and monitors are a lot cheaper than whole computers. Plus the not everyone wants to deal with having two computers.
No, hard drives can be used in any orientation without harm. The problem comes when you try to move them while in use. If you think about it, the MacBook spinning hard drives are actually upside-down when you're using them, and the iMac spinning drives live their entire lives pretty much vertical in that display enclosure.
Would love a version of this product that allows me to keep the screen open.

I'm not dense at all. And I'm not talking about trying to travel with an iMac in your backpack... Think about it...what this product is implying is that people frequently keep their laptop shut and use an external monitor...if you're using your laptop like this frequently (hence, NOT using the built-in monitor, keyboard, and mouse), then why have a laptop?? I just don't see the appeal personally... (and I have a MBP and iMac which is probably why I don't see the need for it...)
Transform your laptop with a level of performance and functionality previously limited to the highest-end desktop computers...
It obviously is. Note how the Apple Logo is oriented correctly with this configuration.
My question is, will the plastic piece covering the hinge assembly be damaged by supporting up to 6.5 pounds (cMBP 17") for prolonged periods of time?
Clamshell mode. Attach a display, keyboard, and mouse, plug in the notebook (not sure if this is required) and close the lid. Not sure what you do after that, 'cause I've never actually done it![]()
