Twelve SouthBookArc Flex Vertical Laptop Stand – Space-Saving MacBook Stand, Adjustable Laptop Holder for Desk, Single Slot Laptop Dock for Monitor Display, Non-Slip, Upright Laptop Storage, Black

This laptop stand holds up great and looks amazing

This stand is sturdy and looks beautiful on my desk. My laptop fits in it perfectly. It is well made as is all of the Twelve South items I have purchased. This is not cheap but it is very high quality. I am very happy I purchased it!

If you listen to the reviews you'll never purchase anything. Specifically if you go by reviews of this product alone, you're going to never purchase it. There I helped you. But if you're a free thinker and do what's best for you, do yourself a favor and purchase one - you might be surprised at how well it does what it is supposed to do - and if you don't like it, return it.The BookArc works just fine, it's made of aluminum, super high quality and it includes all the necessary inserts to make your MBP standing experience a good one. Will it match perfectly? Nope. Will it hold a MBP with a case? Nope. Should you know this going in to the purchase...yes. But things like that should be common sense, I mean, there's a million different cases in a million different thicknesses - don't make your decisions based on what Kyle expects his experience to be. For what this is, it is perfect. It's a stand. A minimal stand. It stands your MBP up on end. It's literally ALL it does. If you have an issue with it, then I assume you're nothing more than someone who likes to complain. In fact, I ignored the reviews and it works as advertised. A one piece, machined aluminum stand that sits on my desk and holds my MBP. Wow. Imagine that.

Nice piece, simple, works like it should, but way pricer than you should. People buy apple for dependable classic form and function, they spend a little more but prices are coming down with Apple. 12 South thinks they should charge high price for little material. They spend a huge portion on the fancy package and while the product is nice, they want you to pay for it. I ended up returning it just because it made no real sense other than to say I have money to burn when I could’ve paid 10.00 for any of Amazons other solutions also offering the SpaceGrey material. Just sharing honesty.

I used this stand for my 2023 M3 14” MacBook Pro, and I am very satisfied. For starters, it came in very sleek packaging, and I find it interesting that they gave a list of things you can repurpose your box for! The stand itself is very durable and keeps my MacBook very secure.I do want to add, however, if you have a case on your MacBook, you’ll more than likely have to take the case off when you want to use it. Other than that, it is a really great product and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality stand.

Holds laptop very securely, looks good and is sturdy.

Looks amazing and takes up way less space than previous versions of the stand. However, it's really not that stable. I push my 15" MacBook Air pretty hard into it to feel comfortable about it being safe. I'm glad I don't have a cat because I bet a cat rubbing its face on the corner could take it down while it's in the stand.

I'm a big fan of how the arching shapes and metal finishes complement a modern decorative style. It manages to hold steady when I raise and lower my standing desk. However, it is crucial that I have the laptop settled into the stand upright, and I'm sure it would wobble if a cat swiped at it. But for average office use, it is stable, and I would willingly make that compromise for the appearance. I see it every day now, after all. I'm glad I got the light color; I realized I wouldn't have liked one that blended in so much with the laptop's colors.

Compacto, o meu Mac encaixa perfeitamente !!

Love the chamfered edges. It's a really solid piece and color matches the classic Apple silver really well. Completed my work setup using it. Each rubber piece is meant for a specific laptop, always guaranteed to fit perfectly. I do wish the seller had the rubber pieces for older Macbooks. It would be great to be able to use my other laptops this way.

I use it in my office for my Macbook. I really like the product.

Bella y resistente, permite el acceso a cualquier puerto de la computadora.

I bought this after reading the other negative reviews, thinking I'd return it if it's as terrible as others have said. However I'm keeping it because I think it suits my needs enough and I shouldn't run the risk of it toppling over.The Goods:Small form factor - I'm going to be using it on my bedside table with my 2023 16" MacBook Pro, which is a heavy beast. I keep my iPad and my MBP on the bedside table and the MBP's just taking up too much space - sticking off the side all the time. Being able to stand it up without reserving a massive area for the base was a must. The simple design means I can fit it on the table with my other tidbits whilst leaving comfortable amount of space left for my iPad. I can imagine myself taking it on holidays as well.Nice design - it looks good and timeless. All the other vertical stands I've seen are very blocky and just don't appeal to me.It's flexible (literally) - I've tested it with my work laptop - a Dell plastic thic boi; my iPad; M1 MacBook Air and my new 16" M3 Max MacBook Pro. They all sit comfortably in the stand, with the 16" MBP being the least sturdy due to its weight and height when stood up - leaving it more vulnerable to toppling like a double decker bus on a race track. This leads us to:The Bads:The rubber isn't particularly grippy on the base - this baffles me considering the target market are MacBook users - the smooth aluminium edge of MBPs don't particularly grip well against the rubber, which means easy lateral movement. It's intentionally designed to not pinch the laptop at the bottom to allow them to say 'future proofed' and not forcing you to buy different grips for 16" laptops like the older BookArc - at the cost of lateral stability. The stand is ironically better suited for my work laptop, some plastically Dell that's thicker and less dense, but the 16" MBP - my most expensive laptop - ends up being most susceptible to falling over.Jack of all trade, master at none - going back to the flexibility point: whilst it works for laptops of different thicknesses, thinner and lighter laptops don't get pinched as much at the top of the stand, which compromises stability again. So I don't quite have the perfect laptop that I feel the stand is really designed for. It does the job, but I just don't know how reliable it will be.Single narrow pinching point at the top - I understand the curve design offering a wider base and it feels like a clever bit of design and engineering to get this stand made. But looking at most vertical stands - they generally have 2 pinch points (4 points of contact with 2 on each side) or full width pinching, I certainly expect greater stability from them than this.Bottomline:All that said, I think it's a good looking stand that you can make work for you as long as you're careful and have good placement on your desk / table. If I end up having my laptop fall over and break, I'll be sure to return to update my review!
