Twelve South BookArc Vertical Desktop Stand for MacBook. Meet BookArc, the most popular vertical MacBook stand in the world. By adding this clever cradle to your setup, you can run your desktop from your MacBook without losing precious desk space.
A few months back I made the switch from iMac to MacBook Pro + Cinema Display. Mostly for the added portability the MBP brings to the table. One problem I was presented with right out of the gate, was where to put the MBP while I was working. I have an, but I don’t really need the extra screen real estate, and the size of my physical desktop pretty much nixed that approach anyway. I resorted to simply lying the MBP down on my desk, which was less than ideal. It took up a lot of space, and I found that it would get quite hot. I almost expected to see scorch marks on the desk when I picked it up after a long day working in Photoshop.
“Ohhh, What’s This?” Then one day, while on a routine trip to the Apple Store, I noticed a lovely little box in the accessories section. It was the, from – a perfectly designed stand for MacBooks that matches the style and elegance of the Apple hardware. The price tag was a bit steep, but I hadn’t found any other viable solutions, so I bit the bullet and returned home with a BookArc. As soon as I had it all set up, I took a few photos, uploaded them to Flickr and mentioned my fun new accessory on Twitter. Within no time, there were piles of comments and faves on Flickr, and the tweet was re-tweeted dozens of times. It seemed people had been wanting something like this, and I happened to be the guy to “discover” it. I’ve had my BookArc for just over 4 months now, and have nothing but good things to say about it.
I have much more free space on my desktop, and my MBP runs much cooler than it did when I had it lying on the desk surface. I guess word travels, and the Twelve South folks caught wind of my tweet. I heard from them directly, and they thanked me for spreading the word about their product, then asked if I would like to check out another of their MacBook products – the.
Not one to turn down free stuff, I willingly accepted their offer. To my surprise, they sent a pair of BackPacks for me to demo. At first, I didn’t realize you could use more than one on a single Cinema Display, but indeed you can. BackPack is a small, adjustable shelf that sits on the stand of an aluminum iMac or Apple Cinema Display. Naturally, it matches the aluminum finish and is made with the same love and attention to detail as the BookArc. Personally, I don’t have a whole lot of use for the BackPack. I think it would be better suited in an office environment where desk space is limited, or where the back of your screen is easily visible.
But it has made a great shelf for my camcorder dock, which is a big chunk of shiny black plastic. So at least it’s not in my line of sight any longer. Take Your Pick! Being the awesome folks they are, Twelve South have offered up a BookArc and BackPack for the taking! All that’s required is that you leave a comment letting me know which accessory you would prefer and why you want it. I’ll be picking 2 winners (1 for each accessory) at random, after 48 hours from the time of posting.
More Deliciousness At this time, Twelve South have 2 other accessories for MacBook available. Is a leather coat for 13″ MacBooks, and, which was just announced last week, is a standalone sub-woofer that runs on a single USB cable. It's hard to choose between the two, but I prefer BookArc as it solves a problem I've been dealing with for quite some time now.
Amazing Deal On Twelve South Bookarc For Mac
I don't exactly live in the biggest house, so any type of extra room is a blessing. Most of my free time is spent at my desk, and as anyone knows, that small slab of desktop holds virtually everything important to me. It can be both annoying and frustrating to figure out where to put the MPB when I'm also trying to find room for a textbook, notes, and a coffee. There have been times where my coffee has almost ended up on my MBPbut I'm sure we've all been there. Also, the BookArc does a great job of blending the system into its surroundings. I've noticed that people become very 'alive' when they see a MBP, and they want to sit down and play around with it.

I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but it does hold a lot of personal information, work files, etc., so it isn't exactly a toy. I think having it setup with the BookArc would eliminate that problem as I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't even notice the MBP at all. Hi Matt, I'm moving to Canada in less than 1 month and have to leave my iMac behind in Ireland (for now anyway). I bought a Mac Book Pro so that I'll still be able to work from my new home over there but between visa fees, airfare and the expense of relocating, not to mention that Christmas is only around the corner, I can't afford to buy anything more – so, I would absolutely love to win the BookArc so that I can set up my laptop with a new screen in my new home. Thanks for considering me (and thanks for highlighing some really nice Mac products & accessories there from Twelve South!) – Niamh.
