mLogic mDock First Zero-Footprint Docking Station and Backup Solution for MacBook Pro

At the International Broadcasters’ Convention (IBC) in Amsterdcam, Culver City, California based mLogic LLC announced the launch of its new startup company and introduced three innovative products designed for Mac computers – mDock, mBack and mLink.

mDock

mDock is a companion product for unibody MacBook Pro laptops, designed to eliminate repetitive plugging and unplugging of devices typically connected to these computers while significantly reducing desktop cable clutter. Whwn docked, mDock’s built-in hard drive backs up the MacBook Pro’s system drive via Time Machine, and also features convenient front-facing USB and headphone ports.

mDock Highlights:
• Replicates the ports located on the side of unibody 13 and 15 MBP computers
• Peripheral devices (monitors, speakers, printers, etc.) are attached to mDock eliminating the need to plug and unplug these devices whenever the user goes mobile
• Eliminates desktop cable clutter
• Built-in hard drive (500GB or 1TB) backs up the MBP system disk via Time Machine
• Convenient front facing USB and headphone jacks
• Front facing, high-power (10W) charge port powers up iOS devices fast
• Sleek, fan-less design and aluminum enclosure complements MacBook Pro

mBack

mBack is a unique zero-footprint backup drive for iMac computers. Unlike a typical backup drive that resides on the desktop, mBack mounts securely to the iMac stand (or Apple Cinema/Thunderbolt Display stand) so its off the desktop and elegantly out of the way.

mBack Highlights:
• Unique zero-footprint backup drive
• Mounts to the iMac or Cinema/Thunderbolt Display stand using specialized hardware
• Does not take up any desktop real estate
• Time Machine compatible
• 1, 2 and 3TB versions with high-speed USB 2.0 interface
• Sleek, fan-less design and aluminum enclosure complements iMac and Apple displays

mLink

mLink is an external chassis that enables PCIe adapter cards (HD video capture cards, RAID controllers, host bus adapters, SSDs, etc.) to be attached to any Thunderbolt equipped Macintosh computer. mLink brings the functionality of these adapter cards that formerly required a Mac Pro to the new iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air via a high-speed 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt connection.

mLink Highlights:
• Links PCIe 2.0 adapter boards to Thunderbolt enabled Mac computers
• 2x 10 GB/s Thunderbolt ports
• Small form factor all-aluminum desktop enclosure

“Thunderbolt technology in combination with mLogic’s mLink brings unique expandability and high-performance to users with mobile and all-in-one computers,” says Jason Ziller, Director Thunderbolt Marketing, Intel. “We’re excited to see mLink provide these capabilities to media creators and enthusiasts.”

“I am thrilled to announce the launch of mLogic at IBC 2011,” said Roger Mabon, CEO of mLogic. “We are introducing some very interesting products at the show that I know will resonate with Mac users. mLogics mission is to provide innovative products to the Mac community and the mDock, mBack and mLink are the first of many more to come.”
