There’s a nice new periph for you Macbook owners who like to add a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to your experience from time to time. The Bookarc from twelvesouth stands your Macbook on end for a desktop space-saver. There’s also an added bonus – you get a speed increase just by closing your notebook.

Now granted, you’re also losing a secondary screen when you flip your notebook shut, but it might be nice to give that graphics processor a little break here and there. Who knows, you also might like the extra desk space.

If there’s one gripe I have, it’s that the thing costs $50. That’s obviously a tribute to the sexy design, fat price tag mantra that’s so popular in Cupertino. The stand does look really nice, though, so maybe it’s worth it for some of you.
