Twelve South BookArc Laptop Stand Review

[kingradin]

what if I have a case for my mbp 13"?

[davomrmac]

@kingradin You should remove from the case to use in close position anyway, or you might get away with using one of the smaller rubber parts.

[kingradin]

@davomrmac how wide will it be, with the smallest?



[davomrmac]

@kingradin Really sorry, this video is two years old and I no longer have it. My suggestion is to email Twelve South and ask, they will be sure to help.

[HenkSpankK]

does it work with newest air?

[WTF90ful]

honestly I've watched this video over and over just because ????? the accent,,, i really like it drives me crazy ,, what a lovely accent

[davomrmac]

@WTF90ful Thanks. :)

[TheJaredism]

@WTF90ful holy crap! me too! 

[YeahhhThatsLife]

I love this stand, but it is too pricey : [

[LorysFan]

it actually criples the cooling - most notable on the new MB air,

allthough it is cooled by the aluminium unibody, if that isn't enough internal fans are engaged, but these are sucking air trhough the keyboard ( i know, terrible design), so if you keep it closed, the vents are prety much screwed and so is your emergency cooling

nice stand for storing it, but i wouldn't recommend actualy using your MB in it

[ShaahinShabbak]

its funny how your're english but you still pronounce aluminium as aluminum. why?!

[davomrmac]

@ShaahinShabbak To appeal to a wider audience ;)

[oPooleyo]

@davomrmac hahaha "wider" audience :)

[Benjomatic]

Only problem is if you're running a wireless internet connection, it runs like total crap in clamshell mode.

[Jmanmadness23]

Nice review, I'm dedinitely considering using my MBP with a desktop setup. And you're right, I really don't take full advantage of this gpu I payed so much for.

[davomrmac]

@Jmanmadness23 Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[JorJorArmany]

simply the best... =)

[poetsguide]

Excellent review thanks.

[davomrmac]

@poetsguide Thanks for watching.

[Digikid2007]

60CDN for THAT? Rip off!!!!!!

[TheMissThis]

I like this stand, I just think it's ridiculously expensive...

[mart182003]

@TheMissThis yes it is, for the same price you can get something better, the Henge dock is a lot more convenient.

[doubledeeder]

6 poeple are pc's..... losers

[FriskXl]

I hate your voice

[laptop504]

What is the maximum thickness you could use it for?

[davomrmac]

@laptop504 I know longer have this to test. Anyone else help answer this?

[lilchopin1]

@davomrmac 1.25 inches

[davomrmac]

@lilchopin1 Thanks.

[davomrmac]

@laptop504 1.25"

[slacker361]

will it fit with a speck case on the macbook pro?

[davomrmac]

@slacker361 Possibly if you use the large opening insert.

[JamboStudios]

LOL Dave, loving the old intro haha :)

[Kliffy77]

Many thanks very informative...

[ramiretz]

nice pice !!

[alexxjones1]

could i use my dell laptop it's

15 inch wide

[davomrmac]

@alexxjones1 It depends on the thickness of the laptop.

[FullSolo]

when you see .co.uk sounds like you said Bucock!

[Hippiegeeks]

i think 50 bucks is too much, i wouldnt pay more than 30

[davomrmac]

@Hippiegeeks Shop around and you may get it for that.

[RonjaMiin]

Does your macbook pro become hot and does the fan make you crazy?

[davomrmac]

@RonjaMiin It does become hotter in closed lid mode. The fan is still pretty quiet though.

[RonjaMiin]

@davomrmac What kind of stuff do you use our macbook for :)? Web? Editing or some really hard work?

[davomrmac]

@RonjaMiin On my current 15-inch I do Photoshop and video editing in Final Cut Express.

[underpantswedgy]

just make one yourself, cut a bit recycled piping , then cut out the groove for netbook to fit in nicely.

[paintballgundown8]

i dont see how people get away with $50 for a stand.

I can see theyr mentality being u just spent that much on an apple notebook, u probably buy other expensive apple things, you will think $50 is reasonable

[w35t51d369]

i was going to get this but $50 for a stand? no thanks.

[DonnMills]

this would work with the white macbook right? The 2008 i mean?

[nyyfan2k]

do you know if this would fit a macbook aluminum with a case like a speck see thru on?

[davomrmac]

At a guess, I would say probably not. My advise though, email TwelveSouth, they will give you the definitive answer.

[cspek]

@nyyfan2k I just bought one, i have an incase hardshell on my mbp. If you use insert #2 it will fit just fine.

[newpcgadgets]

I bought the Laptop Flip which worked better for my application

[americanidiot2921992]

you might wanna post those links in the sidebar, too...makes it a lot easier to access these pages...

[davomrmac]

Good point, thanks.

[americanidiot2921992]

you're welcome!

[Alchodog]

Aluminum is scientifically the correct way of pronouncing it. that's what i've heard. Apparently the yanks got that one right lol.

[davomrmac]

Thank you!

[RobinScott93]

According to Wikipedia

"The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990, but three years later recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant."

[bevoburn]

If i use my laptop as a desktop plugged into an external monitor. Would that affect my battery life of my computer even it it is indeed plugged into the power adaptor?

[davomrmac]

Eventually yes, it would lessen the charge ability.

[hrich14]

yah something that i can walk by and hit off by misstake .-.....

[somsof62]

uhmm useless ?

[shaolindreams]

thats how i see it..

[mastershake1000]

Oh very nice product.

[ScottishMTBRider]

Why would anyone want this? Nice review but i wouldn't buy it.

[ceterafan123]

Great review! I want one!!!!

[TheJakemp]

dave, you pronounce aluminium like the yanks

[ridezko]

nice thing

[applemac34]

nice thanx for the review 5*

[scanningforvideos]

How do you get your mac book to keep operating after you have closed the lid ? Is it a profile setting some where ? Thanks

[RobinScott93]

I don't understand what this is for? Can't you just put your macbook on the floor or something? It may look quite nice but the price seem ridiculous for me. Good review but I feel you too often say the price is justified in your reviews, when it actually isn't. Actually, I can't remember a review when you said the price was too great. I'm really sorry for being so negative, because you are a great reviewer, but it almost sounds like you are paid to say nice things about some products.

[djcripsalot]

imo thats less desk space than keepiing it flat!!!

u guys get hosed by apple in the UK man they overprice enough in the US w/out having to add another premium for europeans

[GSD4U]

cmon dave its ALUMINIUM lol

[KapteinFruit]

Something so stupid...

[arrow1archer]

[arealfreak]

great review! this seems verry nice to have indeed.
