Make It User-Friendly with "BookArc" - - Converts Your Laptop into a Mini-Tower Desktop

If you want to use your MacBook as a desktop, there’s now an easy way. Here is a cool gadget that literally turns your laptop into a mini-tower desktop computer. Carved from strong, heavy gauge steel, BookArc vertically holds any MacBook from MacBook Air to the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Just slide your MacBook or MacBook Pro into the BookArc and park it at the back of your desk to free up space, or next to your Apple Cinema Display and you’ll have the coolest desktop-laptop set-up on your desk.

BookArc has a compact footprint of just 10 by 4 inches, a fraction of what a MacBook normally takes up when sitting on a desk. And while it takes your MacBook to new heights, BookArc rests on soft, silicone footpads that keep it stable and freeing your desk from any unwanted surface masks or scratches. Now, for a perfect fit, BookArc includes three different size scratch-free, silicone cushions. They gently grip your MacBook and they are super easy to install and remove, making it easy for BookArc to switch from one MacBook to another.Along with a stunning design and enhanced ergonomics, BookArc can also boost the performance of your laptop. When your MacBook is running closed in the BookArc, your laptop will automatically dedicate 100% of its video memory to the external display, rather than splitting it with the internal display. You’ll see a noticeable speed increase when working in Photoshop, Aperture, iPhoto, and other graphics-intensive applications.

The problem with its design, of course, is that the BookArc can only hold a MacBook when it’s closed. But if you don’t mind spending $50 on a stand, you can get one now at an Apple Store near you.
