Back when Steve Jobs was at Next, Apple released the Duo Dock. Instead of plugging your laptop into a docking station, you put it in a slot like a giant 3.5" floppy. It was different, sure, but I still don't know what design problem it solved.

This is today's Duo Dock, isn't it?

It supported a CRT so you could have your laptop under your display without needing to spend desktop space for a laptop off to the side.

I’d love to out my laptop into a slit and take it out later ? This “bag” though seems like an insult considered I still liked the smaller iPhones.

Except that Apple didn’t make this. It’s made by the Issey Miyake brand.

Apple is still embracing it: they posted a press release about it, and are selling it on their own site, though.
