An accessory to Apple's MacBook Air, the Aegis NetDock instantly adds desktop functionality with a single USB connection.

Compact Design
With a candy-red enclosure and space-saving vertical stand creating a tiny footprint, the Aegis NetDock is for mobile professionals, students and those looking for a way to connect all of their mobile devices.

4-Port USB Hub
For connecting and charging all of your Apple 'i' devices, including iPhone, iPad and iPod, the NetDock's 4-port USB Hub with two always on USB ports, enables to connect up to four USB devices using a single USB port on MacBook or MacBook Air.

Dual Layer DVD Burner
The Aegis NetDock's optical drive is for installing the latest software, playing games or watching a DVD. Need to burn your latest iMovie or iLife project to a DVD? With its dual layer recording engine you can record up to 8.5GB of data per DVD, virtually doubling data storage capacity on a DVD recordable disc from the single layer recording capacity of 4.7GB.

Hard Drive
Compatible with Time Machine, the Aegis NetDock's built-in 500GB or 1TB hard drive also gives space to store media collection, photos and videos in one location.

The Aegis NetDock is also available without a hard drive. The open enclosure enables to add or change out the hard drive in a snap. The enclosure fits any 2.5", 9.5mm SATA hard drive.
