LINE, the company behind the MacBook Pro's battery, storage, and I/O companion, LINEDOCK (full review), is revealing some unique new products at CES today. LINESTAND is a new version of a multi-device MagSafe charger that offers a floating experience via VESA mount and LINECLOUD is looking to shake up the NAS market.
There are countless MagSafe compatible tablets and stands, but almost all of them take up desk or counter space, with varying degrees of quality and functionality.
LINESTAND
LINE decided to take a different approach by floating its entire MagSafe + Apple Watch LINESTAND multi-device charger thanks to a universal VESA mount on the back. This may interest you: Take advantage of Black Friday to treat yourself to the LG OLED65C1. That means you can use an existing mounting arm or a new one to place this sharp charger for iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch on your desk, counter or wall exactly the way you want.
The LINESTAND will be available in Space Gray and Silver (Silver is pictured above and below). Its sturdy design is made from 70% recycled aluminum. And it's a BYOMSAWC device (bring your own MagSafe/Apple Watch charger).
Besides the Trio Stand version, LINESTAND will also be available in a model for two devices (MagSafe + Apple Watch).
LINESTAND pre-orders will open next week and we will know the prices. The first deliveries are scheduled for March. Stay tuned for more details.
