    Looks like another use for all those free promo-credit cards I get in the mail.

    (Prior uses include paint scraper, door opener, door keep-opener, ice scraper, epoxy mixing board, caulk bead spreader and gutter patch material.)

    I'm all for simplicity but shouldn't something like this actually come with the macbooks? No? Ok. Thanks for playing.

    @The-Ohio-Player: Why would Apple include such a thing with their laptops? The majority of MacBook users don't use them with external monitors.

    But I'm sure you're also for Apple including all sorts of crap in their box, like speakers, wireless mice, carrying cases, and trial software.

    In reply to BookArc Stand Turns a MacBook Into a Desktop

    I did exactly the same with my white macbook using the included stands in my Dlink router. They are white, fit snugly and were absolutely free. I never power down my mac, I put it to sleep only. In the rarest ocasion I need to power down, is a minor hassle to pull the whole computer up and open slightly the lid to press the power button and immediately close it.

    Overpriced (like a lot of Apple-related things), but still a neat idea. I think what most people are missing when bashing this is that the CD drive for that MacBook is right there on the front, making it extremely accessible. I don't think it would work so well with the MBPs, though, which have the disc drive on the front.

    @soulfinger: no, its only expensive for people who can't afford it. Anything can be overpriced, even if its only $10, but only cost like $0.15 to make, that's overpriced, but people can still afford it. Overpriced means its not worth what you're paying for it; Not, necessarily, that you can't afford to pay for it.

    Along with a contemporary design and improved ergonomics, BookArc can actually boost the performance of MacBooks when used with external monitors. When a MacBook is running closed in the BookArc, the MacBook will automatically dedicate 100% of its video memory to the external display - instead of splitting it with the built-in display. The result is a noticeable speed increase when working in Photoshop, Aperture, iPhoto and other graphics-intensive applications.

    Damn, that's sneaky. I'd avoid this on principle.

    Or to save space you could put the macbook under the screen and ontop of the stand for the screen.

    "The stand is designed to free up desk space and create a cleaner, less cluttered workspace by allowing the MacBook to operate while in a closed vertical position."

    Wrong. It's because you got rid of the freakin cables.
