Go Vertical With The BookArc For MacBook

BookArc

Here’s a neat looking product for those who value aesthetics, clean lines and cool-looking accessories. The BookArc is designed to hold any and all MacBooks vertically for use with a keyboard, monitor and mouse.

As the company explains…

When a MacBook is placed into the heavy gauge steel stand, it is held in place by a soft silicone cushion. Three different sizes of easy-to-install cushions are included in the box, ensuring the right fit for various Mac models. Silicone footpads also protect the surface of your desk from scratches. BookArc has a compact footprint of just 10 by 4 inches, a fraction of what a MacBook normally takes up when sitting on a desk.

“Our vision behind BookArc was twofold,” said Andrew Green, co-founder and design principal of Twelve South. “First, we see the MacBook as a beautiful piece of art that deserves to be put on display. Second, using your laptop as a desktop when not on the road is how many Mac users work today, including myself. Running the MacBook in a BookArc tucked behind a beautiful Cinema Display frees up valuable space and provides a less cluttered modern-looking workspace.”

The BookArc is already available at Apple Stores for $49.99. A six-pack bundle costs $249.99.

It is the ultimate style-accessory for people who keep their desks super-neat which is why, although I think this looks awesome, I wont be getting one…  yes my desk is SO bad that within a day or two I would likely have a hard time finding it.
