BookArc holds your Mac laptop up, turns it into a desktop

The BookArc is a simple stand designed to take your fancy Apple laptop and turn it into a desktop computer. Sort of.

Essentially, it's a sexy stand that holds it vertically and puts it on display, lining up the ports for plugging in stuff like a monitor, keyboard and mouse. For people who like having a large setup at home but want to be able to bring their computer with them on the go, this is a good solution.

50 bucks for a piece of plastic? And I thought Macs were overpriced.

Silly you, of course it is expensive, it is magical plastic!

BookArc is carved from strong, heavy gauge steel. And it fits MacBooks like a glove with silicone cushions (x3 in package)

I don't think thats too expensive at all. That solves my desktops realestate problem...

Wow....I guess these people have never heard of a docking station.....would be useful if you could just dock it and didn't have to swap cables here and there every time you want to use this craddle.....good idea bad execution and even worse value.
