If you own a laptop and an external display, here’s a fun observation game you can play. Keep both of them side by side and compare the angle at which your neck bends when looking at the display on a laptop, versus an external display. Most external displays come with an elevation that’s factored in especially for ergonomic reasons, something that the laptop doesn’t have, because it’s attached to a keyboard that needs to maintain a relatively lower elevation for easy hand accessibility. That difference in height amounts to approximately 10° in your neck’s angle, which doesn’t sound like much, but it’s enough to cause neck aches over prolonged hours. So what’s the solution? A more expensive one would be to buy an external display and hook it to your laptop, a more sensible one would be to just elevate your laptop and use a regular wireless keyboard. Twelve South’s Curve is all about the latter. In fact, they have gone a step further and introduced a Matte White version – Curve SE – that perfectly matches clean modern office spaces and white desktops. With minimal material and maximal robustness, the Curve SE elevates your laptop 6.5 inches of your desk, allowing your neck to rest at a much more comfortable angle. Made from a single curved piece of anodized aluminum, the Curve SE’s clean design complements your MacBook perfectly although it works universally with all laptops. Silicone grips ensure your expensive machine is held well in place so any accidental nudges don’t knock it over. The Curve SE’s elevated (in the literal sense) sense of design even helps keep your laptop ventilated, promoting proper air flow so your machine doesn’t heat up. In the event that it does, though, I imagine the metal body serves as some sort of heat-sink to help dissipate heat and cool your machine down faster. That’s speculation on my end… although the fact that it’s sure to make working on your laptop less of a pain in the neck, that’s guaranteed! Designer: Twelve South ($10 off) and Free U.S. Shipping! Hurry, for a limited time only! With MacBook accessories, design matters and that’s why you should place it on top of Curve SE. With its beautiful matte finish and improved ergonomic design, it is the ultimate partnership of style and functionality. Place alongside an external display to create the perfect dual-screen setup. Elevates your screen to a healthier, more comfortable ergonomic height. White blends nicely into beautiful modern workspaces and clean white desktops. Since your white desk will likely outlast your favorite color notebook, doesn’t it make sense to own a stand to match the environment it lives in? Curve SE also complements your Magic Mouse, Power Adapter, cables and the keys on your Magic keyboard. Curve SE helps prevent pain by elevating your MacBook screen an ergonomic standard 6.5 inches off your desk. When you sit up straight and look directly at your screen, you’ll feel less tension in your neck and shoulders, allowing the ideas to flow out of you. The way it should be. Curve SE has two slender arms that allow maximum airflow and easily support today’s ultra-light MacBooks. Plus, Curve lets you freely open and close your MacBook without the hinge getting hung up like it does on flat, old stands. Curve SE is made of metal accented with non-slip silicone grips on the bottom and arms. The curved one-piece design has no extra parts, which means there’s nothing to lose, fall off or break.
