Twelve South, a company known for their accessories, has recently announced the BookArc. As you can see in the image above, the BookArc is basically a stand of sorts designed for the Mac Pro in mind. Instead of the Mac Pro standing up vertically, the BookArc will allow users to place the Mac Pro on its side which allows for a unique perspective.
This will also allow users to save space in cabinets or on shelves if that is where you will be placing your Mac Pro. Now we’re sure some of you guys are wondering if placing it on its side will be safe for the computer and its components. Apple has confirmed that it is safe, although they did specify that the exhaust vents should not be covered lest the computer is unable to cool itself properly.
The folks at Twelve South have similarly confirmed that this is safe to use. “Is it safe to use a Mac Pro horizontally? Absolutely. It will perform exactly the same on its side as it will upright. In fact, the Apple Tech Note that refers to using a Mac Pro on its side was the inspiration for designing this curved metal stand.”
The BookArc has been designed with a shiny chrome plate whose design will offset the deep black of the Mac Pro. If you like what you see and wouldn’t mind getting one for yourself, head on over to Twelve South’s website where you can purchase one for $59.99.
