FIN MacBook Stands
Posted by: Sierra in Accesories, Peripherals & Components

It comes from Fins-up, an Idaho-based company focused on developing and designing aluminum stands for the MacBook laptop family, and the new model is called FIN. It is a stand and handle in the same time, made of durable 100% aircraft-grade aluminum, sporting a powder-coated finish in black or white, to match all MacBook versions.
The stand attaches to the laptop’s base suing the included screwdriver, is easy removable, and it practically tilts the laptop to an ergonomic angle for comfortable typing and viewing.

You could use it also as a handle to carry the MacBook in a safe way, thanks to the stand’s capability to prevent drops which could lead to computer damage. The non-slip rubber feet ensure that the system couldn’t drop of the desk.
In addition, unlike other laptop stands with no cooler, FIN raises the system allowing the air flow to circulate free to and from the cooler inside. It dissipates the heat generated by the notebook processor, increasing this way process longevity.
"We're very excited to bring the FIN to MacBook Pro and MacBook users around the world," said Tim Trombly, founder and CEO of Fins-Up. "The FIN is really three superior products in one: a stand, handle, and cooling system that perfectly blends with the MacBook line and adds to its overall form and function. Moreover, the price point we've set means everyone can easily afford a FIN of their own."

Regarding the price, FIN laptop stand and handle comes at $39.95 supporting the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro, 13-inch MacBook, and the 12-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4 Aluminum models.

I really like the Laptop Flip as a stand for my Macbook Pro. It raises my laptop for better ventilation and allows me to store my Macbook in the vertical position when not in use. This save quite a bit of space on my cluttered desktop.
