It looks like the 2012 "sideways" magsafe connector will work here Be very certain this will work for your Macbook Pro. In particular, pay close attention to the positioning of where your power adapter connects on the left side of the unit.While this product says it works with all MBP's from 2012-2015, it may not work with certain models that have the "fat mag connector". Here's why.When you insert your MBP into this device, there's an arm that inserts the port connectors for the HDMI, USB and USB-C from both sides. On the left side, there's a small trough for the power connector feed, but if you have the "fat mag connector", the device will not close over it and this won't work. It looks like the 2012 "sideways" magsafe connector will work here.I found that 2014 MBP did not recognize the USB and USB-C ports, only the HDMI. 3Awesome... except for one thing... Love this dock for it's simplicity and ease of use. The ONLY gripe I have, and why I did not rate it as five stars... is that it has ZERO adjustment for height, and will not accept your Macbook Pro with a plastic snap case on it. A bit of a pain to take the case off every time I dock it, but I guess it's worth the extra effort. Having the ability to connect to the network without another adapter is very nice. This is also a very portable option if you need to take it with you. Would easily fit in a bag/backpack. I use my 13" Macbook Pro Retina with it, and connect it to a 25" monitor from HP. Works like a charm! Plus, you still have access to the SD card reader, which is very nice.Great, but wish they would build in some adjustability in the height department. 4Functionally, very well done - build quality needs some work (UPDATE 3/4): After using the dock for a couple months, I have found one of its most annoying features: getting the laptop snapped into it. Fortunately, I generally only do this once a week on Mondays, but it doesn't just snap into place. You actually have to sit there and work with it to get each one of the ports lined up *just* right (and hope it doesn't move every-so-slightly when you focus your attention to the right side after getting the left lined up). To make matters worse, because the plastic construction gives way (bends) very easily, you have to line each of the ports up both horizontally AND vertically on both the left and right sides of the laptop.If you remove your laptop infrequently, this won't be too much of a bother; but if you undock your laptop daily, you might want to wait to see what BookEndz comes out with.Original Review:This is the best docking station I've used for a Mac to date. The LandingZone Dock for Retina MacBook Pros gets 5 stars from me for functionality. I knocked it down a star for the relatively solid, but somewhat flimsy construction. The LZ is plastic (compared to BookEndz sturdier metal construction).First the construction: The Kensington lock is a very welcome addition, since Apple decided to remove the option from the laptop itself. Unfortunately, because it's attached to the dock, it's likely only as strong as the dock & the USB and Thunderbolt connectors holding it into place. Even with the lock in place, the ejection lever itself is not disabled. While the lock prevents the two ends from opening easily, because the lever isn't locked in place, it still allows you to place a great deal of leverage on the mechanism. I could be mistaken, but from the feel, I'm fairly confident I could remove the laptop with minimal effort, destroying the dock in the process. Nonetheless, it should be enough to stop a thief from quickly jettisoning it during office hours when people are around.All-in-all, the construction seems a bit flimsy. If it were $99, I probably wouldn't think twice about the build; but at $200, it seems as if it should be bit more solid.Now onto what makes this dock shine. LandingZone really built a lot of functionality into a small factor. Since Apple decided no one needs ethernet ports anymore (nevermind those of us trying to use Mac as work computers), to date, the only option has been an annoyingly oversized dongle. LZ fixes this by building a USB3 to Ethernet adapter right into the dock. Brilliant! The Ethernet adapter does require a custom driver to be installed from their site, which some Mac users may not be used to (I was surprised). Likewise, there is a USB to audio-out adapter as well. Not only is this convenient, but the additional audio controller allows you to have system sounds come from the built-in speakers, and other audio out your regular, external speakers.All your plugs are located in the rear of the dock, out of sight--VERY convenient. LZ has also built in a space for your MagSafe2 plug to live. It magically lines up with your computer when you dock it, and snaps into place upon closing the dock (no longer an extra step), so it feels a bit more like a normal, PC dock. You simply line up the USB ports on either side, and everything snaps into place when you close the handle.So far I'm really digging this dock. I'm coming from a BookEndz dock for my previous MBP that died. While it was more solidly built, it was a clunky and inelegant solution.Summary: Elegant design. I'm a fan.* Pros: built in Ethernet and audio ports; Kengington lock (even if it only offers minimal protection)* Con: flimsy-feeling construction, difficulty docking it 4Great option for docking your MacBook Pro with Retina Display I really like this docking station. I use my MacBook Pro Retina as my main / only computer but wanted the feel of a desktop. I've been waiting for a docking station option for MacBook Pro Retina for a while and decided to get this when it came out. The one negative in the reviews I read was that it was a bit difficult to engage the dock. While I agree that it does take a little work, it's not a game changer. At the most, it takes 10 seconds to get it lined up -- no big deal. Once it's engaged, it works great. I have my ethernet cable, scanner, blue ray writer, usb keyboard, external USB 3 hard drive and external monitor hooked up to the dock and I'm ready to go. You have to remember to load the driver for the ethernet (it's all over the documentation but I didn't read it - my bad).I think this is a great option for docking your MacBook Pro Retina. I wouldn't fret too much about getting it engaged.Update: Since my original review above, I've noticed that I'm now having an easier time docking my MacBook Pro. The trick is making sure the USB port on the right is lined up first - then, everything else falls in line. I'm happier than ever with this device. 4Excellent Full-Featured Dock for the Money. I work in the film industry as a DIT (Digital Image Technician), so I'm not a "light/casual" user. My LandingZone Dock has been on my production cart for over 6 months in various weather conditions, different hard drive configurations and multiple workflows involving connecting and disconnecting cables hundreds of times. I'm currently using it with every port occupied and 6 Thunderbolt devices daisy chained on a 5+ Camera TV Show where I have to host a switcher, input/output hub, hard drives, internet feeds, and so forth. The dock is a huge convenience for cabling because it routes almost ALL of the cables out the back, so at night I simply pull the tab and walk away from set with my MBP while leaving my cart cabled and ready. There's simply no other option on the market that can function in this manner, especially not with 5 USB ports, Kensington Lock, and HDMI. I use a rack case with tabs that holds a Macbook in place on top, so the whole system (dock and laptop) form a single unit that stays put during operation.Here's a quick PRO rundown:- The ethernet adapter drivers have worked on every Macbook Retina I've placed into the dock. That includes ethernet to USB3 adapters plugged into the USB ports- HDMI port is firm and has a nice click to it with quality cables. I have not measured its support for 4K, only HD. I assume it will pass 4K 30hz appropriately.- 2 USB 2.0 ports are great for simple devices like UPS Battery backups and Phone charging- Magsafe 2 port has a nice, simple lock. I purchased a spare 85W Apple Charger and left it with the LZ Dock permanently for convenience.- After a few tries, you quickly get used to lining up the ports and clicking it shut. As others have said, just line up one side at a time.- Same price as the basic TB docks on the market but with more features.CONS:- No USB 3.0 port multiplier support or Software RAID. This was a big let down as a power user with USB 3.0 hard drives. It is common to show up to set and have a client hand over 3 drives for redundant copying. Typically, you can conduct a software RAID and mirror copies off the Macbook USB3 ports. However, the LZ Dock causes a kernal panic on both Mountain Lion and Mavericks and refuses to cooperate if you attempt to RAID any drives plugged into the USB 3.0 ports. Also, I did not have luck using port multiplying (hosting an enclosure with multiple hard drives and a single USB 3 connection.- Must remove hard shell case to make dock work. I wish they made a Speck Case version so that I could keep my Macbook protected while not in the dock. Since you must use the dock with a naked Macbook, it requires you to snap the bottom of the case shell on and off. The TOP does fit however (you can leave it on).- Rubber feet on bottom are coming off already. Could use better adhesive.- Would be great to have a lip on the backside that could allow you to simply push the Macbook flush against it and then click it shut. In other words a mold that doesn't require as much "lining up" of the ports to dock it.- Matching Silver aluminum finish would be nice.- Could use a travel case that protects the male port connections sticking out when not in use (TB, Magsafe, HDMI, USB3)If you want the convenience of leaving accessories plugged in and want to accomplish a desktop feel to your Macbook, this is an excellent solution. It could use a few tweaks to the USB 3 hub hardware but it's still very versatile, especially for this price tag. 4I was really looking for a dock for this computer to simplify my cords and to attach and un-attach my laptop easily without having to unplug everything from the laptop itself I have a 2014 MacBook Pro 13 inch laptop. I was really looking for a dock for this computer to simplify my cords and to attach and un-attach my laptop easily without having to unplug everything from the laptop itself. I guess I was taking a bit of a leap of faith with this but the reviews were good so i bought it. The release mechanism takes a little getting used to because it essentially unplug the power cord on the left side and on the right side it unplugged the computer by disengaging it with the lever action at the back. You need to make sure that everything is lined up properly and that you go slow is not a Gemini the plugs into the computer itself and damage something. But that is pretty intuitive and easy to get used to. All my peripherals that are plugged into this dock work very well no complaints there. Those peripherals are in a 24 inch flatscreen monitor, a USB hub, and several USB devices like a wireless keyboard and mouse set up which by the way work great, and lastly a external hard drive. I included a USB retractable lightning port cable to sync all my Apple related devices and got that cord out of the way so that was kind of nice as well. At the end of the day it really simplified my desktop arrangement and made plugging in unplugging my Mac very simple without making any of my peripherals become inoperable. I definitely think this is a good product and I highly recommend it 5It's Okay, But Quite Buggy. My darling wife bought me a new Macbook Pro 13" for the holidays, so I decided to try and use it as my main device. I love my 24" monitor and Thunderbolt drive, and didn't want to manually plug and unplug them all the time, so I opted for a dock. After research I decided on the LandingZone dock, and after living with it for a few weeks I can say it's just okay.First off, you have to manually download and install a driver for the LAN port. No big deal, but the performance is not so hot. It frequently drops network connectivity and is very unreliable. Today I was listening to some tunes, and all of the sudden the sound drops out. I had to undock and re-dock in order to get it back.I will probably keep it. Hopefully they come out with some software updates to fix some of it's quirks. Unfortunately another of it's quirks that software won't fix is docking itself. It's kind of a pain. You have to align everything perfectly, and it always takes me a few tries before I actually get it locked in.Your mileage may vary, but in retrospect I probably would have done more research. At least my new Macbook is still awesome! 3Not enough power for keyboard + mouse For the asking price, this dock should at least be capable of fulfilling its intended purpose. With 2 external monitors (one mini-dp, one hdmi), an ethernet connection, and a wired keyboard + wireless mouse, the dock doesn't have enough power to allow my (Logitech) wireless mouse to function. I believe this is due to the fact that the power input for this dock is just over 1A. I've connected a powered USB hub into it to use my peripherals and no longer have any problems.I had originally considered rating this 3 stars, but if you can't even power a keyboard and mouse what's the point of using a dock in the first place? 2Great dock for Macs I really love it, does exactly what I need it to do, easy to dock laptop in and out. I also really like that there's a Ethernet port built in.I did take 1 star off though for the following:1) As the dock came, the power plug wouldn't fit properly. There was some extra plastic (looked like manufacturing defect) that I just had to cut out with knife. Not hard to do, just something to be aware of.2) Dock covers only a single display port. I had to switch my 2nd monitor to HDMI output. Not a big deal, but would be nice if it could do both display ports along with HDMI one.I also had an issue where all of a sudden none of my USB connected devices would work, but the ethernet would work just fine. I am 99% sure that it was something on the Mac, as 2 days later everything started working just fine again. 4Works well with constant usage It works well after a week of constant usage. It's easy to line up my MacBook Pro in to the dock, though you have to be a bit careful when closing the dock to make sure all the ports are aligned. That said, it's an extra second of time, nothing more. I put my mac in and out on average about 8 times a day to run in to meetings, and this saves me both time, and strain on my back from not having to plug in everything again and again.I've had another dock from another brand before. Though the other felt more secure and firm, the LandingZone dock works fine. And given the price difference of other dock options that support the HDMI port, this is a very good price.My setup: MacBook Pro 15" Mid-2015. I've got two large 30" Dell monitors, one via DisplayPort, one via HDMI. I've got audio out to my headphones. I've got various things plugged in to the USB ports. I keep my laptop lid closed when it's in the dock.Note: I thought I could get away with a Thunderbolt 3 dock, but I couldn't drive both my monitors that way. All the Thunderbolt 3 docks mandate that one of the two displays support Thunderbolt (not DisplayPort!). Given how ridiculously expensive Thunderbolt monitors are, and how nice my two Dell monitors work for the price, the LandingZone was the best solution for my docking needs.Only downside so far is that it takes much longer for my MacBook Pro to come back to life when undocking vs. having my displays plugged in directly to the Mac. For example, if I unplug the displays directly from my Mac, and open the lid, it takes about 10 seconds for the Mac to figure out what's happened, and adjust to having only a single laptop display screen to drive. When using the LandingZone Dock, and I undock it (which disconnects my two monitors), it takes about 30-40 seconds for the Mac to figure out what's changed. Note that I've not installed the LandingZone ethernet driver since I don't use the ethernet port, so I don't know if that's affecting things. Nor have I contacted their support yet. I'm pleased with it overall though. 5
