Cradle your 15-inch MacBook Air (and more) in clamshell mode with Twelve South’s BookArc at $30 (50% off)

50% off $30
Twelve South BookArc

Today we are tracking a sweet deal on the Twelve South BookArc – one of the more elegant vertical MacBook stands out there and, at least for me, an even nicer option than the newer Flex model. You can score the Twelve South BookArc directly on the official site for $29.99. Regularly $60, this is a straight up 50% off and the lowest price we can find – we have never seen it go for less on Amazon either. While it was originally made for MacBooks released between 2020 and 2023, if you select BookArc for MacBook Air from the drop-down menu before adding to your cart right here, Twelve south will throw in its Insert add-on for FREE so you can use it with more modern 15-inch MacBook Air models as well. Nice. 

You will have to hit the $80 threshold on the Twelve South to side-step shipping fees, but at 50% off the regular $60 price tag, that seems a sensible trade off to me. Having said that, if you don’t need the insert for a 15-inch MacBook Air, you’ll find the BookArc starting from the $29.99 on Amazon with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. 

Considering how powerful the MacBook Air is in clamshell mode, not to mention how neat and tidy these holders will leave your desktop, the 50% in savings here is worth a look for sure – I might pick one up at this price.  

It is made of silver or Space Grey aluminum, de-clutters your workspace, and includes an integrated Cable Catch for charging or connecting Thunderbolt cables while in the upright position. 

If you’re not partial to the gorgeous Twelve South gear like I am, this OMOTON aluminum vertical stand can carry two MacBooks (or iPads, other laptops, and more) and sells for under $20 Prime shipped on Amazon. If I was going to buy one for less, and I might, this would be the one. 

Twelve South BookArc features:

Make room for a big monitor by holding your MacBook vertically, off of your desk, with BookArc. Set MacBook atop BookArc, plug in your favorite external monitor, keyboard & mouse and now you’ve turned your compact laptop into a comfortable desktop setup. Photo editing, spreadsheets and other projects are easier to see on a bright 24-inch (or bigger) screen while your MacBook runs the show behind the scenes. When it’s time to go mobile or head out for a meeting, unplug your desktop connections and the BookArc Cable Catch will keep them in place for you.
