      Glad you are enjoying yours. Although synapse has its faults, I love how well it all works together! And I love having a load of ports on the back of the stand, makes it a much cleaner set up

    I can actually see this being extremely useful to lots of Mac users. With it, you don't have to worry about getting a USB-C or thunderbolt display to use with the MacBook. That would be extremely convenient and allow for the reuse of older displays that are still quite nice.

    I wish it had a network adapter on the base as well, that would be a complete dock/stand setup as their laptops don't come with the RJ45 connections.

      @@MashITTech so far so good, albeit the thing is overpriced, which all Razer products are. I did a quick field test of my Razer Blade 18 4090 recording with OBS at 80,000 kbps while playing WRC Generations, getting around 100 to 120 fps, with the web cam going, wireless headset and wireless controller also plugged in. A multitasking test. I uploaded it to YT.

      I just used this on my blade 18 and it seems way to back heavy.
      The front of the laptop wants to lift up when adjusting the laptop.
      It seems a bit precarious on top of it.
      Maybe I'm not supposed to use the keyboard when it's on the stand.

      @@epacholec I use the keyboard on my Blade 18 on the stand. For the 17 and 18 inch Razer Blades you have to scoot the laptop forward a little so that the back rubber bar which is along the bottom of the laptop is butted up against the top of the stand. It's not like the 15 inch laptop where you align the bottom of the laptop flush with the bottom of the stand. With the larger laptops you pull it forward a little, about an inch. Makes it more stable. It doesn't move at all when I type on the blade 18 keyboard.

      So, I tested the dock with my iPad Pro 12 and it sits well in both portrait or landscape. when you plug the USBC in the RGB lighting cycles slowly through the colour spectrum by default which look nice. In landscape mode the angle is great for drawing. I also plugged a keyboard and mouse in which worked perfectly :) hope this answers all your questions.

      They don’t include one as it doesn’t necessarily need one as you can power it with a laptop.
