I travel and I have my home office. when I’m home i use my monitors and need my Mac accessible yet out of my way. This holds my Macbook pro and my Wife’s Macbook air without any scratching or wobbling. This is stout and sturdy.

It just works. Install the correct rubber piece that positions the laptop in the slot and that is it. I notice that the laptop also runs quite a bit cooler and the fans do not come on nearly as much, if at all. Clean finishes, no sharp edges and easy access to all the ports.

Another Arc product that saves the day. The stand allows me to connect my MacBook to my 27 monitor in clamshell mode and saves a ton of space on my desk.

The stand is well-made, attractive, and does what it sets out to do. It’s pretty stable with the right insert and orientation. Be advised a MacBook Air may not fit properly in the laptop has a protective case (even a thin one). I took my case off while I’m working from home, but I’ll be putting it back in when in-person work resumes. Not thrilled to have to take the case on and off to make it fit properly in the stand. Not necessarily the fault of 12 South, as it would be impossible for them to provide inserts for all the cases out there of various thickness. I think this should have been an asterisk in the product description however.

This is the best invention ever. I love it and it solves the problem of having stuff laying flat on my desk and getting stuff stacked on top of it. Love it!

Does what it says it will do and my M1 Macbook Air fits in it nicely.

Does the job it’s intended to well. Keeps my laptop vertical and off to the side when I want to plug it into my larger display. In some ways I like that it comes with multiple silicone slots for different size laptops, but seeing as I only have one style laptop I don’t like that I now just have plastic trash to store away in case I ever get another style laptop or throw them away which I hate to do. Would have preferred if it just came with one silicone slot for the laptop I do have, with the option to purchase others individually if the need ever came up.
