Stand for Macbook with a monitor

spudbynight · 1 Jun 2012 at 12:31

I am thinking of getting a Macbook for my wife. At the moment I have a Samsung T240 monitor which I will be hanging onto when I replace my main PC with an iMac.

I want her to be able to use that monitor while at the same time maintaining as much desk space as possible. Is there any sort of stand that will enable her to use the Macbook while closed (with a Magic Trackpad and a wireless keyboard) and perch the monitor above it?

EDIT : something like this would be ideal

Or use an Ikea napkin holder.

Aren't the Macbook's being phased out? You can't even buy them on Apple's website any more...

That have been phased out at consumer level. Think you can still get them if you're an educational institute or whatever you want to call it.

This is a great idea!

After hunting around I'll probably get a book arc for my rMBP, but might get napkin holder to use as a stand for my iPad, can't find a decent stand for the iPad to simply store it when not in use.
