Question: How do I power on my MBP-retina if it is in the BookArc?  The power button is on the keyboard and the MBP-retina clamshell is closed in the BookArc?
Document: I purchased the Twelve South BookArc for my 17&#34; MacBook, and although I think it looks great and compliments my MacBook, it makes actually using the Mac in a 'docked form' a pain. Obviously there is no access to the power button since the lid is closed, and that is no fault of the product itself. Depending on the application, I may suggest a 'docking' solution that allows the MacBook to sit open, thus allowing access to the physical buttons.
This is a very simple basic product that does exactly what I need it to do. All my wires for the keyboard, ethernet, display, and power tuck up under it so when I bring my Macbook home for the day I just plug it in and use it like a desktop. It holds the Macbook in an upright space saving position on the edge of my desk.
Looks great, solid build. As described and looks really cool. If you want to use your MBP in clamshell, this is the one to use it with.
This is a well designed, high quality stand. It looks like something Apple would make and matches the finishes/materials of my MacBook Pro 13-in md102ll/a. It does a great job holding my MacBook vertically so it takes up less space on my desk. With a keyboard, monitor, and mouse attached I can close it and operate in clamshell mode which allows me to use it like a desktop. Love it!
The wifi speed is substantially decreased when the laptop is in clamshell mode. I guess the antenna is somewhere near the screen, because I did speedtests numerous times with the laptop in the same place. I came to conclusion that it is only when its closed when my wifi is slowed down. This wouldn't have been a big deal, but to me it was quite noticeable. Now, I have my laptop on a small table behind my desk the slightest bit open with the screen brightness turned off.
This stand serves its purpose, I wanted something that would keep my computer out of the way and looked sleek without a lot of clutter. This stand seems strong and well built. I do notice that the computer gets hot after awhile, but that's no fault of the stand as the keyboard vent ports are blocked when computer is closed. It looks very good holding the macbook, as if it were made by apple.
The stand offers a neat and inexpensive way to connect your macbook pro to an external monitor. To use the Pro closed, you must be connected to a power source through your power connector supplied with the pro. You must also buy a connector that will go from the Pro's Thunderbolt port to the Monitor's HDMI socket--and voila, you are ready to roll. Need take the computer out for a stroll? Disconnect the power cord and the Thunderbolt port and you are on your way.
The BookArc provides added functionality and organization to your desk, but if you are using your laptop itself, the book arc is just a large paper weight.Even with an external monitor, I find that I like the extra screen of the laptop, and using it closed is not as beneficial to me as the extra space saved. So I would recommend the BookArc to those who mainly use an external monitor for your laptop while on your desk.
I got this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. It fits the Macbook Pro 15&#34; with retina display perfectly, organizes the cords and keeps the laptop off the desk, saving space. Using a Macbook while closed is super easy and practical. It also looks pretty neat.
I wanted to get my MBP attached to a 24&#34; monitor but not keep taking up a ton of desk space. I love the fact that it comes with an insert for both the regular and Retina MacBook Pros so an upgrade doesn't make this a wasted purchase.
Answer: I have a 13 Inch rMBP with the trackpad and wireless keyboard. Its hooked up to two monitors via dvi to vga cords. Since both the trackpad and keyboard are hooked up via bluetooth, I just tap the trackpad or type on the keyboard and it wakes the rMBP from "sleep" (case is still closed) and BAM! Dual display with closed MacBook. Hope that helps.
