One of the coolest things you can get for those who own Apple-made laptops is the Line Dock. This ultra thin power bank offers up to 15 hours of autonomy, can charge multiple devices at the same time and provides both wired (USB-C) as well as wireless charging capabilities. Its retail price will be $349, but you can get it a lot cheaper by preordering from the product's Indiegogo page. Unfortunately, Line Dock will start shipping out in June next year.
