Amazon is now offering its best prices ever on the metal Kensington iPad Pro Docking Station stands. You’ll find the up to 11-inch model (also works with 10.9-inch iPad Air 4/5) at $132.24 shipped and the 12.9-inch variant on sale for $133.97 shipped. Regularly $200 a pop and more recently trending around $169, this is up to 34% off and the lowest prices we can find. Both deals are also now sitting at new Amazon all-time lows – this is as much as $18 under our previous mentions. You can magnetically attach your Apple tablet to the StudioDock in portrait or landscape mode to transform your iPad Pro in a “powerful desktop experience.” It will charge your iPad Pro at up to 37W with a Qi charging pad to juice up AirPods and more along the base. Beyond that, this metal charging stand also doubles as a hub of sorts with a host of I/O potential around back including support for single 4K HDMI 2.0 video (4K at 60Hz on M1 and M2 models), one USB-C port, three USB 3.0 ports, 3.5mm audio, and Gigabit Ethernet. Head below for more details.
Anker also makes a somewhat similar option that comes in at less than half the price of the more premium Kensington models above. The Anker 551 8-in-1 hub and tablet stand is currently selling for $65 shipped on Amazon right now.
While the brand just debuted its latest 10-port Thunderbolt dock with a solid launch deal, Plugable also makes an iPad stand and hub combo worth taking look at. We had a chance to go hands-on with the iPad docking stand, complete with an 8-in-1 USB-C and HDMI hub, and found it to be a compelling solution for folks looking for a lightweight stand and hub combo without spending a fortune – it sells for under $60.
