Brydge Space-Saving Laptop Stand | Vertical Docking Station Compatible with 15-inch MacBook Pro (2016-2019), 2 x Thunderbolt™ 3 Ports

I had become unhappy with my WFH setup, and looked into options for a dock for my MacBook Pro M1. The lack of dual screen support for the M1 is a known issue, so I was looking for something to save some desk space and move to wireless keyboard mouse setup. I have been very pleased with the Bridge dock - it looks nice, is of high quality, and does what it says in terms of functionality. I have one of the UCB-C cables to my monitor, and the other to USB hub to power my external webcam and charging devices. Operating in clamshell mode is fine on the whole. I was a bit nervous of the docking/undocking process, and whilst I wouldn't want to do it multiple times a day, it is fine as long as don't slam the MacBook in and out.

Really sturdy stand, good weight and feels great quality. Securely holds the MacBook and easy to dock and undock, great value for money compared to others on the market.

This dosn't fit the Mac book advertised! This is total junk.

The Brydge Vertical dock works perfectly with my MacBook Pro M1 13” notebook and my LG 5K Superfine monitor. The design of the dock is very nice; and has a nice even finish in the aluminium. The look is a nice dark grey aluminium and black plastic finish. On my desk it slips comfortably behind my monitor (i have pulled it out for the photos.) It means when I want to use it I just need to press the laptop into the dock; wait for it to click and then waggle my mouse to wake my computer up. If you are using bluetooth peripherals you do need to turn on wake on bluetooth for the waking up to work. I don’t have a wired keyboard so I’m not sure if there is anything needed to enable that. The dock doesn’t include any power bricks or cables. If you want dual monitors one of them will need t send power down the USB-C cable to power up your laptop. Otherwise you could use one of the two ports to plug in the power adaptor and drive a monitor with the other. There are only two sockets on the outside; this isn’t a USB hub or dock like you might get from pluggable; its a very well designed desk tidy. If you like a clutter free desk it does a nice job; I also like that it makes it easier to plug my computer in as its just line the sockets up and press and I am away. Once you are done pressing down a little lifts the laptop up and you cant slip into your bag. (You can see the lifting pot cover in one of the images as the black plastic is the mechanism. The Brydge is a lovely desk tidy; it has a nice stable design and lets you pretend your macbook is a desktop. You are clearly paying for the build and design; the box is lovely and the polystyrene inside it has a slot for the small screwdriver you need to put it together. The price is paying for the small touches and design.

Product came as ordered, came on time and was what was advertised. Unfortunately did my fit my device and I was asked to keep the product with my full refund in progress. Would recommend for anyone who has a 15inch macbook

The build of the product feels sturdy, its solid and I wouldnt want to drop it on my foot. It certainly looks the part on my desk - reduced the amount of space my Mac took up and was a nice talking point. However, having used it for a month now, the issues became apparent, not just with the product but also the Brydge customer service. First up, if you turn your Mac off every night, you must undock every day - open it and then re-dock it. Annoying, but thats an Apple flaw not the dock. Something to be aware of for sure though. My issue was with the audio - initially it was fine, but then I started getting reverb through the dock. Pressing gently on the top corner of the Mac or plastic lip on the dock solved this - sometimes all day, sometimes for 5 minutes. The issue seems to be that the side of the Mac with no ports to connect, doesnt stay sat flush in the dock and rises ever so slightly over time. Quick email to Brydge support - thinking they'll be able to help........... well, after being ignored initially I chased. Not their issue apparently - should buy a speaker or use headphones! Well, imagine my surprise, silly me....I have looked through their website and not one piece of literature regarding the hub nor any of the lovely marketing pictures show anyone else using a set of speakers to accommodate this problem...hmmmmm. When I pointed out how I was solving the issue, that it wasnt continuous and suggested it may be a design flaw I was batted back. I chased support for a solid answer for a month, but no dice. Amazon, as always, have been excellent. So back this goes as its only worth buying is you need an expensive paperweight or you want to throw down on speakers as well as the dock....shame

I’ve always wanted a docking system like this since first seeing it on a YouTube video. Since the Brydge is well priced I thought I’d give it a go. The build quality of the dock is fantastic, it feels solid, strong and similar in style to the actual MacBook it will hold. The colour match is near identical to the Apple finish which is really impressing. The dock feels solid and like it won’t tip over even when a laptop is docked in it. The dock is easy to setup and allows you the means to seamlessly swap for a mobile solution to a full desk setup by just dropping it into the slot. As a mobile photographer in my spare time this is fantastic as it allows me to take my laptop with me for reviewing shots but then I can dock up once home for editing. A very good docking solution and we’ll worth the money.

I absolutely love this dock, it looks amazing on my desk and matches the esthetic of the Mac Book Pro perfectly. 10/10, have recommended to my friends and family. I had a slight issue with the first one I ordered and they swapped it out for a new one within two days. Amazing customer service and an outstanding product. You will not be disappointed.

Basic and stylish stand with 2 pass through connection. No fluff, heavy enough, easy assembly.

This is my second Brydge dock, got this one for the office, highly recommend. My parcel arrived from Germany faster than I get things from within Australia and Amazon kept me updated with the tracking. Great service all round.

Este producto NO encajan los Puertos Thunderbolt con los de mi MacBook Pro de 13 pulgadas de 2016 (como parece que anuncian). El problema principal es que han tardado más de 1 mes y un total de 8 emails con la empresa Brydge para que entendieran el problema (a pesar de enviar también fotos) para al final decir: I am truly sorry for the confusion in understanding your original email. Now that this is more clear we unfortunately do not have a Vertical Dock that will fit your 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2016. El sistema de asistencia tiene mucho por mejorar.

Muss erstmal sagen die negativen Bewertungen und die Bilder von verkratzen MacBooks machen echt angst, wie ich finde absolut unberechtigt und ich frage mich wie das zustande kommt. Für mich passen dieser Dock und meinem MacBook Pro ende 2020 (M1) sehr gut zusammen. Das MacBook lässt sich sehr leicht einführen und mit minimalen druck rastet das MacBook ein und lässt sich danach auch sehr leicht entfernen ohne dabei das MacBook Pro zu beschädigen. Ich habe diese Funktion ausgiebig getestet und kann bisher nichts negatives feststellen. Ich werde mir vielleicht noch schwarzen sanft Folie einkleben um doch ganz sicher zu gehen das mein MacBook durch die Plastikführung verkratzt. Der Brydge Dock macht sonst auch einen sehr guten Eindruck, hat einen guten Gewicht und ist aus Aluminium. Ja Ja .. der Dock hat nur 2 Ports … aber …. Ich habe mir diesen Dock gekauft um einen UltraWide Thunderbolt Display mit integrierter Hub anzuschließen, ich möchte einen Desktop Erlebnis erzielen. Die Idee für mich ist zum einen aufgeräumten Desktop und die schnelle Mobilität und die Möglichkeit das MacBook meiner Frau auch anschließen zu können (quick change). Es sollte halt auch noch alles gut aussehen. Am Dock selbst wird der externe Display nur über einen Thunderbolt Kabel angeschloßen, damit versorge ich mein MacBook Pro auch gleichzeitig mit Strom und bekomme gleichzeitig zugriff auf die im Monitor integrierte usb-hub was meine Ports und Anschluss Möglichkeiten erweitert mit nur einen Kabel. Am usb-hub im Display ist dann die WebCam (über usb-3) und eine externe SSD Festplatte angeschlossen (usb-c) und hätte sogar noch platz für andere sachen anzuschließen. Am Dock selbst habe ich am zweiten Port einen usb-c ethernet mit 2.5gbe angeschlossen. Das alles in Verbindung mit der Brydge macht das alles sehr elegant und aufgeräumt.
