      Very nice indeed!

Of course, being in Canada our options through Amazon or Ebay are challenged. Either limited offerings or high shipping from US vendors. And the Apple one came with a variety of inserts. It holds my "new to me" 13" Macbook pro retina well and it doesn't feel like it may tip over. The finish is excellent. I also looked at the Henge vertical dock (on the internet) and it wasn't obvious to me that it was actually made of aluminum. I saw one reference that suggested it was injection molded plastic with a metal finish. I can confirm that the BookArc is one solid chunk of aluminum. Nice silicone inserts as well that grip the surface of my desk rather nicely. I've experimented with two orientations ... exhaust down and exhaust up. I haven't really determined if it makes much difference at all to the internal temperatures. I was just thinking that exhaust up made more sense from a chimney effect consideration. It works well either way and there is little to block airflow. Connecting to my peripherals is a snap ... all I have is the power cord and a thunderbolt to my display. Can't see how much better a "dock" would be for me. Unless the dock had an "eject" button that signalled my laptop to eject attached drives and go into sleep. As it stands I have to get to Finder and eject them one at a time. Maybe I'll make a keyboard shortcut. It turned out to be a nice update and I'm hoping will keep my batteries a bit cooler and therefore last a bit longer. Before I had propped up my computer on some spacers (small 2"x2" ceramic tiles from Home Depot) to give it some airflow underneath. This is definitely an upgrade. Break over ... back to work!

      Old stock, not compatible with MBP with touchbar

      The listing states this is compatible with all MacBooks this is not true, the version sold by Apple is not compatible with the latest 2016 MacBook Pros. I order The listing states this is compatible with all MacBooks this is not true, the version sold by Apple is not compatible with the latest 2016 MacBook Pros. I ordered one on 03/03/2017 and it came with inserts A, B, and C. However Insert D is required for the 2016 MacBook Pro's. The Twelve South website states that the latest model comes with Insert D so the one Apple are selling is old stock.

      Works as intended, but the rubber feet are poorly glued on

      Just got mine today for my MacBook Pro. Holds the MacBook fine, looks nice, just like the photos. My complaint is that the four rubber feet are just stuck onto Just got mine today for my MacBook Pro. Holds the MacBook fine, looks nice, just like the photos. My complaint is that the four rubber feet are just stuck onto the metal frame with low quality glue. One of them fell off the moment I removed it from the packaging. I had to use some adhesive tape to stick it back on. Twelve South really should improve on the design so that the rubber feet won't come off.

      Rubber Toes Come Off Easily!

      Beautiful stand, but unfortunately the rubber toes come off way too easily. A little super glue and you're back in business though…
