  • Wow. They Increased their profit margin for sure.
Color: Space Grey
So, I've had the original bookarc since release and this is a joke. First of all, all the inserts are nearly the same size so you cannot dock a MacBook with a case which is absurd and without a case there's wobble so what's the point of that? They have made it much smaller which looks nice but they've kept the same large price tag. They also got rid of the cable feature from the old one and this new one just traps the cable with its height. I do prefer the new cable management but its another cost they cut while keeping the same price tag. Feels like a ripoff at $60 even if the design is one of the nicer ones out there. ... show more

  • Long Time User of the Original Product - Disappointed by this Version!
Color: Silver
I have the original product. It is heavy and sturdy and you feel safe putting your $1000 to $3000 MacBook in it. It was worth the price at that time. This new version is much smaller and lighter (that is not a good thing) and made cheaper and therefore makes it wildly overpriced. I just bought a 2020 MacBook Pro (lets just call it $2500). It is smaller and lighter (which is a good thing in this case) and is very well made. This stand suits its' purpose for that unit (see picture). It is visually appealing and has some slight "wobble" (but you want that so it can be easily removed without marring your unit). Because I am used to this setup, I am probably going to keep it but I am not 100% sure yet. I am going to live with it for a few days and see how I feel then. I have seen, felt, touched, etc, all of the units that this stand claims it will fit. Probably the latest MacBook Air would be fine, certainly not the 16" or 15" as I feel they would tobble off of it easily. The only reason that I gave it a "high" rating of 2 Stars is that it seems to suit my particular purpose but other than that I am extremely disappointed in what I received vs. what I was used to from the same company. ... show more

  • It's really nice...
Color: Space Grey
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. ... show more

  • Not a full five stars
Color: Space Grey
Okay...I am not giving this a full five stars for one reason. Because the rubber seal opening that you place the laptop in is a removable rubber material. Anytime I place my Macbook in there the rubber seal pushes down and then I have to readjust it in place to secure the laptop. Every dang time. This is EXTREMELY annoying for the price you pay for this thing. The manufacturer more than likely thought that providing replaceable rubber seals (of different sizes) gives us, the consumer, an opportunity to fit it to our specific laptop. But in actuality it ruins the experience of just inserting the device. All that being said, the device is extremely sturdy and well balanced. ... show more

  • Beware Does not work well with Macbook Pro M1 2020 & hard Plastic shell case purchased from Amazon
Color: Space Grey
Purchased this on August 10 2010 via Amazon, worked fine with my 2018 Macbook Pro and plastic cover but recently I swapped my 2018 Macbook pro with a new Macbook Pro 13" 2020 M1 also purchased from Amazon a plastic hard shell cover , unfortunately none of the inserts work with this new case and I just don't want to cough up extra $ 14.00 for a newer insert from 12South after paying $ 64.50 for this Book Arc in August of this year so decided to purchase a Omotron stand for less than 1/2 the price with my points with Amazon prime points should be coming in tomorrow ... show more

  • Wobbles with loose unstable fit.
Color: Space Grey
Size E recommended for naked 2020 13” pro is wobbly. Cat could easily knock it over. I tried size D which is tighter, but less easily removed. Not sure if the extra tightness will damage laptop. Therefore, switched back to looser size E. Tucked behind my monitor. The wobble means any desk shaking or cat will knock it against monitor or wall. To avoid that, laid the spare size D on the top corner. Not pretty but protected from wobbles and knocks against the wall and monitor. ... show more

  • Lacks quality.. not worth it
Color: Space Grey
When you pay a premium price for this stand, you expect functionality of the design and quality of workmanship. This is JUNK. It is apparent that no one bothers to check for simple manufacturer defects.. such as tool marks, machining finish, etc. To pay $60 plus tax is ridiculous with such poor attention to detail just isn't worth it to me. As far as functionality, it works... but be prepared to have your laptop lean to one side (13" Macbook Pro) and potentially mar your unit after continued use (check other reviews). ... show more

  • Just okay
Color: Space Grey
Although the design of this product is quite nice, it seems cheaply made. As others have pointed out, it's very light - which in the instance of a notebook stand, isn't a good thing. I needed to purchase some tape weights to give it stability - which helped. But such an obvious miss by the manufacturer is a head-scratcher. Lastly, for my MacBook pro 16", the fit isn't as snug as I would prefer - there's some slop which causes the computer to tip to one side or other other. And given the light-weight nature of the stand, also isn't a good thing for stability reasons. I like the design, so I'll keep it - thus my need to do the aftermarket mods I've described above. But the quality of materials and fit leave a good amount to be desired. ... show more
