It features a 5Gbps USB-C port, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, both SD and microSD card slots and an HDMI port for attaching an external display, which will also help you achieve a better ergonomic position. This clever USB-C hub is a laptop stand that also includes a range of ports to expand those on the connected MacBook. While the pre-assembled Curve is available in Apple-friendly matte black and white, the Curve SE is in Silver only. Both Curve and Curve SE look fantastic, just like your MacBook. The metal design features non-slip silicone grips on the bottom and arms. They also keep your laptop cool with air flowing underneath it.

The Curve SE and original Curve stands are not as flexible as their adjustable sibling, the Curve Flex, although they do raise your MacBook 6.5 inches off your desk so you can sit up straight and look directly at your screen-and so feel less tension in your neck and shoulders. For ultimate portability, though, the more adjustable Curve Flex folds down to a handy package. A recent addition to the Curve family-see also the Curve Flex reviewed above-is the slightly cheaper Curve SE, which is exactly the same as the original fixed Curve but you need to assemble the three pieces yourself.ĭon’t worry, it’s super easy to snap the pieces together, and actually makes the stand easier to transport.

One of our favorites is the Curve from premium Mac accessory maker Twelve South. A quality laptop stand will do just that for you. The Curve Riser will put your second screen at a similar height to the laptop, and includes a handy shelf for a docking station or other device.Įlevating your screen to an ergonomic height is important for relieving neck strain on your muscles and vertebrae. Twelve South also has a companion stand for the external display you might connect to your MacBook. The Curve Flex is available in matte black or white. While it costs more than the original fixed-position Curve and even cheaper Curve SE (reviewed below), and indeed many of the MacBook stands tested here, the flexibility and portability justify the extra expense. It weighs 28oz (795g), folds flat and comes with a padded neoprene travel sleeve. The Curve Flex is not just flexible it’s portable, too. You can angle the MacBook’s keyboard from 0 to 45 degrees. This flexibility is better for your neck, back and eyes. It can elevate your MacBook screen and camera up to 22 inches (56cm) so it can be close to eye level and aligned with an external screen if you have one. The Cuve Flex, from premium accessory maker Twelve South, remedies this limitation with both height and tilt adjustability. Many laptop stands are rigid and offers little flexibility.
