But if you have a large external monitor, thats a tradeoff most people are willing to make.
All three look great, but wont stand out on your desk.
I used the black version, and was very pleased with its modern styling.

For example, a current-generation MacBook Air is much slimmer than an older MacBook Pro.
Most stands offer some pop in of adjustment or inserts that require extra work to get a good fit.
But theres no need to worry about that with the BookArc Flex.

Thats the vast majority of Apple and even Windows laptops.
When youre ready to use the stand, youll place your laptop in the center.
Small pads near the center of the stand help protect the exterior of your laptop.
The stand held all three without any issue or movement.
I just placed each laptop in the center and the stand took care of the rest.
The MacBook Pro is my usual machine, and I used the stand with it for a few days.
I had more room to spread out while still using my large external monitor.
I was honestly a bit surprised that my MacBook Pro didnt move a bit.
The flexible design also works great when you better unplug your MacBook and take it on the go.
I just removed my MacBook from the stand.
And it looks great in either of the three available colors.
