The original Twelve South BookArc came out in 2009 and was a huge success that catapulted Twelve South and all its wide variety of creations into the mainstream. The BookArc was more than simply a laptop stand, it was a minimalist piece of art. The brand new BookArc Flex is now out, which increases the stand's elegance and versatility. This time around, the BookArc is flexible - hence the Flex in its name - and can accommodate any size laptop or tablet up to 1" thick without needing any additional inserts. The connectors that hold the two metal pieces of the stand have a good amount of give in them so whether your laptop is a tiny ultrabook or a thicker, gruntier, powerhouse, the stand can easily accommodate it.
As a vertical stand, you can use the BookArc Flex to hold your tablet while you use it, or store your tablets overnight in, say, a school, business, or training room setting. Of course, tablets aside, it's designed solidly to work with laptops which means you can plug your laptop into a docking station or to a monitor while working with a wireless keyboard and mouse, and work in comfort with a minimum of desk space needed. A laptop dock is always a handy thing to carry around, and the BookArc Flex makes life easier by letting you store your laptop upright. It's light and small and easy to carry around, while also looking great. In fact, you can pack away your keyboard into the stand itself for transport.
With its flexible design, you needn't worry whether the BookArc Flex will support your next laptop as well as your current one; it'll easily handle devices up to an inch thick.

iTWire has been testing one out ourselves, and we've found it effortless to use, while truly letting us focus on the big screen without the laptop getting in the way. We used it in the home office, and on the road while visiting other offices, and - along with a handy USB-C dock (which Twelve South also sells), we had an easy, frictionless, time.
The BookArc Flex is available now for $79.95 in black and white, or $99.95 in a very special chrome edition. It's stunning whichever colour you go with.
