Twelve South’s BookArc Flex is a functional, classy stand for using your Mac laptop when the lid is closed

Twelve South’s BookArc Flex is a redesign of its original vertical laptop stand. And it’s a great for Apple’s MacBook Air M3 since the laptop has support two external displays when the laptop lid is closed 

This makes it perfect for business users, or anyone who requires multiple displays for multitasking across apps or spreading out documents at the same time. With the revamped BookArc Flex ,you can put your MacBook Air upright in a BookArc and tuck it behind or to the side of your display for a streamlined workspace.

The BookArc Flex uses the weight of your laptop to secure it in place, holding it vertically while you connect to a larger monitor. Just set your laptop in the stand and let gravity do the rest. The BookArc Flex cradles the Mac and automatically adjusts to any size MacBook up to 16-inches thick without additional inserts. The stand makes room for a full-size keyboard and mouse, as well as an external monitor or two.

Which means it works with more laptops than the MacBook Air. I use my BookArc Flex with my 16-inch MacBook Pro. And it looks classy thanks to its all-metal design. It’s available in white, black, and chrome designs. The black and white versions are US$49.99, while the chrome model is, sadly, ten bucks more ($59.99).

The BookArc Flex is a sophisticated, future-proof product that not only looks good, but is very functional.
