SATECHI’s magnetic dock lets you charge your Apple Watch using your iPad Pro!
Go ahead and add yet another incredible feature to the iPad Pro. The tablet already did have the ability to reverse-charge devices, but with Satechi’s Apple Watch dock, the iPad Pro can charge and dock your smartwatch right beside it! The way the Apple Watch docks on the iPad Pro is similar to the way the Pencil does. It sits right on the edge, allowing you to wirelessly charge your watch while you comfortably use your tablet uninterrupted.
Like all of Satechi’s products, the USB-C Magnetic Charging Dock comes with Apple-certified MFI charging, and works across all generations of the Apple Watch. The dock plugs right into the side of the iPad Pro or the MacBook Pro, although you could just as easily use it with any power-bank too. The sleek aluminum design does a pretty good job of blending in with Apple’s design language, while inbuilt magnets securely hold onto your watch as it charges, allowing you to dock your iPad on a stand without worrying about the watch slipping or falling off. Neat, eh? Maybe you could even use it as a small extended display too, running a timer, your clock, or the weather app right beside your screen as you work or browse the web!

Throw away the HDMI Cable… This wireless display transmitter is the future of presentations
If Steve Jobs were still alive, he’d probably be ranting about HDMI cables. Always one to point out large problems in outdated user experiences, Jobs would clearly have a lot to say about HDMI cables and how they absolutely suck. I mean, they’re basically high definition VGA cables, right?
The fundamental problem with the HDMI cable is that in a world that’s increasingly becoming wireless, the HDMI cable still isn’t. It’s still a struggle to dig through your cable drawer to look for one, then worry about whether your laptop has an HDMI port, then worry whether the cable is long enough. Not too elegant for the fact that we’re living in 2020, right? Well, the guys at MOKiN feel the same way too, which is why they’ve proposed a pretty nifty solution. In a world that’s increasingly becoming wireless, MOKiN lets you extend your screen wirelessly too.
Designed in two parts, a transmitter, and a receiver, MOKiN lets you connect a device to a display without running a clunky, ugly, entangled cable between the two. The transmitter and receiver let you extend your screen wirelessly and seamlessly, offering high-definition images with zero latency. It’s basically an HDMI cable without the cable… or even the HDMI, because the MOKiN’s transmitter runs on a USB-C port!
This means you can easily connect your laptop, tablet, or smartphone to an external display or a projector in a jiffy without worrying about dongles and such. The receiver end still has standard display ports on it, making it compatible with most TV screens or office projectors… and the fact that the setup is wireless means you don’t need to worry about cable length, or worrying that someone may trip over the cable and ruin your entire presentation.
To make things better, the transmitter unit even has its own USB hub, letting you plug pen-drives or SD cards into it and access it right through your device. The transmitter and receiver communicate using low-latency WiFi, and can easily work over distances as long as 10 meters, beaming 1080p content without any problems. The receiver unit has both VGA and HDMI ports, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack, so not only can you plug a variety of device in, you can actually use two simultaneous displays, as well as an external speaker. Yeah, the MOKiN is great for presentations, pitches, and meetings, but this wide slew of features and cross-compatibility make it incredibly great for gaming or even using as Chromecast replacement to beam movies and videos from your phone or tablet with the ease and convenience that would make Steve Jobs really proud…
