Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The BookArc: Turn your Macbook into a desktop.
 |
Twelve South's BookArc is a simple, elegant stand that literally turns your portable computer into a mini tower. Slide your MacBook or MacBook Pro into the BookArc and park it at the back of your desk to free up space, or next to your Apple Cinema Display and you'll have a beautiful sight.
Three reasons why you need a BookArc
  |   |   |
Create a Zen-like workspaceWith a footprint of just 10 x 4 inches, BookArc takes up a fraction of the space your MacBook Pro uses laying flat. Soft, silicone footpads keep it stable and free your desk from marks or scratches.
| One Arc fits allTo ensure the perfect fit, BookArc includes three different sized scratch-free, silicone cushions. These gently grip the various MacBook and MacBook Pro models and ensures the perfect fit right out of the box. Cushions are super easy to install and remove making it easy for BookArc to switch from one MacBook model to another. | Enhance performanceYou can actually boost the performance of your MacBook or MacBook Pro by running it closed in the BookArc. That's because your system automatically dedicates 100% of its video memory to the external display rather than splitting it with the built-in display. You’ll see a noticeable speed increase when working in many graphics-intensive applications. |
...And more reasons:
A Work of Arc.
Carved from strong, heavy gauge steel, BookArc vertically holds any MacBook from MacBook Air to the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Park your BookArc-cradled MacBook next to your LED Cinema Display and you’ll have the coolest desktop/laptop set-up your desk has ever seen.
Features:
- Get a cleaner, less-cluttered workspace
- Three silicone inserts for a perfect fit
- Compatible with all MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best stand for a MacBook.,
By Gregory (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twelve South BookArc for MacBook Pro (Personal Computers)
At first, I thought this stand was a bit overpriced. After I bought it and realized that it was made from solid metal, I'm willing to forgive the price. This item is solid and won't be breaking anytime soon.
I use it for my 13" MacBook Pro. One of my initial concerns was whether it would still hold my MBP since I have the Speck hardshell cover on it. Fortunately, it comes with three different silicone inserts for the stand and I'm using the largest one without any difficulty at all. Put simply, it is a great stand and well worth the price I paid for it.

This review is from: Twelve South BookArc for MacBook Pro (Personal Computers)
In spite of the high price tag, I bought the BookArc to clean up my desk space in my home office. As you can tell from the pictures and Twelve South's reputation, it's definitely an attractive accessory to have sitting around. It's also clearly functional. It's a pretty simple task, and it does it well, with my 13" MacBook Pro.
I say it's 98% perfect, because it has two flaws. First, let's be honest -- the price is a bit ridiculous for a piece of metal with a slot. Second, if you place your laptop into the BookArc as shown in all the marketing pictures (i.e., with the hinge down), newer models will potentially overheat, since they vent through the hinge. I had read something about that in passing but forgot about it until yesterday, when I heard my laptop's fan going like there was no tomorrow. I felt under the BookArc and, sure enough, it was very hot. I simply flipped the laptop over so that the hinge faced up, though, and the problem was solved. It's just something to keep in mind.

This review is from: Twelve South BookArc for MacBook Pro (Personal Computers)
This stand is really great. Keeps my 17 macbook pro cool and I have more room on my roll top desk. The only draw back is you have to remove it from stand in order to boot computer. this is a must have if you need room on desk.
