“College students already have enough to carry - they shouldn’t need a backpack full of adapters just to get their work done,” said Chris Kooistra, Vice President of Marketing, Other World Computing (OWC). “Whether they’re using tech from years ago or a brand new Chromebook or MacBook Neo, the OWC USB-C Travel Dock gives them the connections they’ll need throughout the school year, from plugging into a classroom projector and connecting a drive to downloading photos and keeping their laptop charged. It’s small enough to live in a backpack, affordable enough to make sense on a college budget, and useful enough that students will reach for it every day. For parents sending a child off to college, it’s one of those simple purchases you know they’re actually going to use.”
