Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The MacBook Air is an amazing machine and it has a secret. It not only makes an outstanding portable laptop computer for computing on the go, it is also plenty powerful enough to be your full-time ‘desktop’ machine in your home or office too. But when using your MacBook Air at home, why be confined to the ‘portable’ dimensions of the screen and keyboard. Why not connect it to a larger monitor with dramatically more screen real-estate? Why not use your favorite mouse when working at your desk? That’s where BookArc comes in. When using MacBook Air at your desk connected to your favorite mouse, keyboard and monitor: it actually starts to be in the way. BookArc scoops up your MacBook, stores it vertically, and makes it a sexy micro-tower machine. More importantly, BookArc gives you back acres of valuable desk space. There’s one additional benefit of using your MacBook Air closed in a BookArc vs using it in dual-screen mode with an external monitor. It actually speeds up your MacBook Air! Dedicating 100% of your MacBook Air’s video memory to the external monitor increases redraw time in everything from iPhoto to Photoshop.

Oh So Nice Cable Management.

Since the new MacBook Air has ports on both sides, a built-in cable manager has been incorporated into BookArc. It routes your power, external monitor, headphones and any other cords behind the back of your Mac for a clean, neat workspace. Along with keeping your cables orderly, the handy cable management system also holds your cables in place, making it easy to get your MacBook Air in and out of BookArc. Say goodbye to cables falling from the desk to the floor every time you unplug them from your MacBook Air.

One Size Fits Both.

Whether you have an 11 or 13-inch MacBook Air (Late 2010 models), BookArc has you covered. Both sizes of this new sliver of genius from Apple have the same profile, so either fits snugly and securely in BookArc for MacBook Air. A soft, cushiony insert firmly grips your Mac for a secure fit. Silicone foot pads on the bottom of BookArc keep your work surface free of marks or scratches.

Want to Speed Up Your MacBook Air? Try a BookArc. Really.

BookArc for MacBook Air is more than a beautifully designed stand for your Mac. If you work with an external monitor, BookArc can actually improve the performance of MacBook Air. How? When you work with two monitors, your Mac’s video memory is split between the two, but when you work with your MacBook closed, your Mac only has to power the external display. You will notice an increase in speed, especially when working in Photoshop, Aperture, iPhoto and other graphics-intensive apps. So can a notebook stand really speed up your MacBook? If it’s a BookArc, the answer is yes.

Product Description

Introducing the first BookArc designed exclusively for new MacBook Air. The latest addition to the BookArc family has been re-engineered to firmly grip the ultra-thin MacBook Air only. This stylish and sturdy heavy gauge steel stand also has a built-in cable management system, making it a dream accessory for neatniks, minimalists and anyone else who craves a super tidy workspace. Park your MacBook Air in BookArc, connect it to your Apple Cinema Display and your skinny MacBook is now a killer desktop.

Simple, Yet Elegant August 24, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was a little reluctant to spend the money to purchase this stand, but decided to go for it with an amazon gift card. It seems so simple, but it really does an incredible job at reducing desk space, heat, and cable clutter. It really is an ingenious design. My favorite thing about this stand is that it stands my macbook air upright, displaying the apple logo and clean aluminum body beautifully. It also matches perfectly with my aluminum apple cinema display for a really nice effect. I was also worried about the heat building inside the laptop hurting the laptop display somehow, but so far it seems to not be getting hot at all.

This stand works great at home for hooking up my new 13" MacBook Air to the new 27" Thunderbolt Display. It's sturdy and well-built with good looks that complements Apple's styling. The cable hole is a very nice touch and works perfectly with the Thunderbolt Display's cable to power the MBA and connect the Thunderbolt cable. Highly recommended to get the most out of the MacBook Air.

I have a late 2010 MBA and it fits well, is sufficiently stable--which was my main concern. I dont use it in clamshell mode. I just use it for storage in my desk, when not in use. But it works well for in clamshell in my limited testing, although sometimes the cords from each sides need to be shifted a bit.

Nice looking stand. Does what it says.
Feels solid. Attractive finish. Sturdy snug fit for the computer. Really liked the packaging and the suggestions on what to do with the packaging after opening.

Nice but expensive
Seems overpriced for what it does but well constructed and cleverly designed. I had one for MBP and bought the appropriate one for new MB Air. So what do I do with the first one?
