The original vertical MacBook stand, reimagined.

Introduced in 2009, BookArc was Twelve South’s very first product. Since then, MacBooks have become radically thinner and more compact, so it was time for our iconic stand to evolve as well. Now milled from aluminum, BookArc features a bead-blasted finish. A polished chamfered edge pays homage to the new mirrored Apple logo featured on the new 12-inch MacBook. Finally, the entire stand has been scaled, refined and optimized to fit every current MacBook, from 11-inch Air to 15-inch Pro with Retina display, with one BookArc.

Dynamite docking station.

BookArc lets you conveniently use your MacBook with a large external monitor, extended keyboard, and mouse, for a more comfortable work setup utilizing a little-known feature called https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201834|closed-clamshell mode. Connect and enjoy a bright 27-inch display for super-sized photo editing. Gain a dedicated number keypad. Reclaim vital desk real estate with your MacBook upright and tucked out of the way in BookArc.

When is one is better than two?

Use a dual-screen MacBook setup? Close your MacBook and try working on a single Monitor. Many say it increases focus, minimizes workspace clutter and even speeds up display performance by dedicating 100% video memory to a single display. Did you know your MacBook was designed for this? Apple calls this https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201834|closed-clamshell mode.
