No screws. One ring. Done.
Setup · 2 minutesPeel the backing sticker off the magnetic index ring and seat it in the recess on the underside of the base, adhesive facing out. The magnet holds it in place.
Clean the spot with the included alcohol wipe and let it dry for a moment. The adhesive bonds best on a clean, dust-free desk.
Place the dock where you want it and press down firmly for a few seconds. The ring bonds to the desk and nests into the base, so the dock stays planted but lifts off when you want it to.
Connect your USB-C cables to the base. MacBooks closed, logos facing you, each machine slides down into its own slot. Swivel the base toward you to reach either bay.

SlideBase Duo is MacBook Pro only, with two individually dimensioned slots. Listed pairs: Dual MBP14 M1-M4, Dual MBP14 M5, Dual MBP16 M1-M5, MBP14 M1-M4 + MBP14 M5, MBP14 M1-M4 + MBP16 M1-M5 and MBP14 M5 + MBP16 M1-M5.

Select the Custom variant, then email custom@dockedbydesign.com with the exact configuration of both MacBooks: model, size and chip generation (for example MBP14 M3 + MBP16 M1). We confirm the fit before the build starts, and the base is dimensioned around your exact pair. Custom builds take approximately 5 extra business days.
