Try this $1.99 Ikea FANTASTIK napkin holder, apparently it’ll hold a MacBook Pro just fine (looks like a 13″ judging by the SuperDrive). Sure, it’s not the super sleak BookArc, but it’s also $48 cheaper. <span id="more-13941"></span> Unfortunately you can’t buy the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50107051">“FANTASTIK”</a> stand online, so you’ll have to find it at a local Ikea store. This is what it looks like without the MacBook in it:</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ikea-fantastik-napkin-holder-aka-macbook-stand.jpeg" alt="ikea-fantastik-napkin-holder-aka-macbook-stand" title="ikea-fantastik-napkin-holder-aka-macbook-stand" width="500" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13943" /></p> <p>Vertical MacBook stands are definitely nice, you’ll need to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/15/how-to-use-a-macbook-or-macbook-pro-with-the-lid-closed-and-hooked-to-an-external-monitor/">run the MacBook Pro with the lid closed in clamshell mode</a> but you end up turning your portable into a desktop, the trade-off is you lose the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/04/04/dramatically-increase-your-productivity-by-adding-a-second-monitor-to-your-setup/">productivity boost of a second display</a>.</p> <p>Thanks Jared for the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/burstaneurysm/status/47095661346299904">heads up</a>!</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CW_sJiUjhTXF1MyCpAU-4_b6hgM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CW_sJiUjhTXF1MyCpAU-4_b6hgM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CW_sJiUjhTXF1MyCpAU-4_b6hgM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CW_sJiUjhTXF1MyCpAU-4_b6hgM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=URYTU1AtksY:YABaourxFKY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/URYTU1AtksY" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
