Twelve South’s (www.twelvesouth.com) Parcslope is an US$49.99, kool hybrid stand made exclusively for the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The sleek metal wedge elevates your Mac’s screen while tilting your keyboard at desk level for comfortable typing.

Crafted from a seamless sheet of steel, the ParcSlope lifts your Mac screen to a neck-friendly viewing height, while tilting your keyboard to a comfortable 18-degree typing angle. Keeping the MacBook keyboard on your work surface means you can continue to use the keyboard and trackpad on your MacBook keyboard, instead of having to add an external keyboard. Built-in cable management keeps your desktop cables and connections from dropping to the floor when you unplug MacBook to go.

The ParcSlope can be used on virtually any desk at home or work. This stand also comes in handy on a kitchen counter, stand-up workstation or workbench where it elevates a Mac laptop enough to reduce neck strain.

For those who prefer a dual-screen workstation, the ParcSlope can be used alongside your favorite external display for a side-by-side setup. The one-piece stand can also be used as part of a stacked display setup in which an external display floats above a MacBook resting atop the ParcSlope.

It has a silicone pad with three small ridges on top that allow the 11, 13 or 15-inch hinged MacBook screens to fully open. The front cutaway on the ParcSlope is designed to match the one found on MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Soft silicone pads cushion your Mac. Rubber pads on the bottom of the stand protect your work surface.
