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

I was between this and the older design and ended up getting both, one for the office and one for home. The newer design is perfect for a minimalist setup, and the black arch design looks great against a a variety of color and material finishes. The one negative I would say is it is NOT as stable as the prior design when it comes to the MBA, but not in any deal breaking way, just something to be aware of when determining which model is best.

I like the finish, and the concept of its design. And that is where it receives one star and also where the praise stops. The stand has two critical flaws: The first is if the laptop (I have a 16” MacBook Pro) is not placed perfectly balanced it will topple. The cradle that bears the weight actually moves with the two arcs AND it doesn’t have any guides to position the computer AND the non-slip material doesn’t grip the laptop so it has to be placed correctly otherwise it falls. Now, I could chalk this up being sloppy as a user, but I think a level of confidence should be offered from the designer, as well. The second flaw is that it has very small cushions on the cradle and on the two arms. If the stand had a more confident stance then this would be a nice feature. But, because it topples easily when falling it gives way to metal on metal contact. I just spent a lot of money on my shiny new black MacBook. Dang if I wouldn’t be cussing a blue streak it the stand scratched or marred the shell. Not cool. Just to be sure I did use the stand last night. And, it held the laptop vertically with no drama. But it is a tenuous balance. I have cats, so if even of their tails hit the Mac over it will go.

It looks great, but it doesn't hold my MacBook Pro securely. I'm going back to my tried-and-true Bookarc stand.

Having my MacBook in clamshell mode behind my 2 monitors was the best decision I've made - and it looks classy and cool

Looks nice but does a lousy job of keeping your laptop safe and secure. Cough too hard next to it and your laptop will go tumbling over. I ended up replacing it with a holder that clamps onto the side of my desk that my MacBook slides into. Way more secure and frees up even more desktop space. Other than the build quality being nice, I do not recommend this laptop stand. It was a disaster waiting to happen.

This laptop stand holds up great and looks amazing

MacBook air too heavy for stand. This immediately tips over, don't want to end up with a broken laptop. Quality of material is low so unfortunately not sturdy.

Works great but it would be nice to get stickier where touches the laptop to keep it static and not easily fall sideway.

Optimal

きちんと立ちません PCの重みで両側から挟む設計ですが、MacBookProのM15の14インチでも重さが足りず挟むことができません 常に斜めで揺れると倒れます

This thing is so bad I don’t know how they can sell it with a straight face. Great concept with absolutely terrible execution. It’s like they never tested it. They just built it and then had to ship it since they had inventory. To try to use it you have to place your laptop EXACTLY in the right place for it to even kind of hold it correctly but even then if you accidentally sneeze in its general direction it’s going to be knocked over. If you have a cat or kids forget it unless you want to replace your expensive laptop when they brush against your desk and thus thing drops the laptop onto the floor. imo this company made one good product years ago and has been churning out junk and living on their name ever since. It’s very disappointing.

I bought this to keep my laptop cool and it is brilliant for that as it is not just lifted above the desk like a lot of other solutions that I have tried. But it looks fantastic and makes more space on the desk. I am so pleased with it. This stand is brilliant.

I use a Macbook Pro 14 inch M3 version, and although the macbook looks nice in the holder, it is less of a perfect fit than I like making it wobble when first inserted, and that it has that risk of toppling over due to the overly loose grip. The side where the laptop fits in could be raised slightly to better increase the surface area of the grip and it could then likely be more stable. For its price, it does not match more simple solutions like the ugreen one which I also have and use with my wife’s macbook pro and it is far more stable and better a fit once adjusted.
