M1 Max MacBook Pro Minimal Desk Setup 2021!: ruclips.net/video/yDP4chmezW4/видео.html MacBook Pro M1 MAX Review! 1 Month Later 14 and 16! ruclips.net/video/exQUK0IRbhE/видео.html 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro vs 2020 5k iMac: Which is a better desktop? ruclips.net/video/Xe3sBvIujqM/видео.html
As someone who uses a macbook pro for work and a macbook air for personal use, the first human centric stand that grabs with computer weight looks PERFECT for my situation. Thanks for this review!
One good thing to also mention that I’ve noticed using vertical stands, is when the Apple logo is oriented the correct way, the lid opening slit allows dust to slight sneak its way in. So after some time, my keyboard outline is printed onto the screen from the dust. I like keeping my laptop fairly clean and spotless, so by placing the MacBook into the stand with logo upside down, it also keeps my screen way more clean and doesn’t dust print the outline of my keyboard
Thank you for your help. I chose the HumanCentric Vertical Stand. I didn’t want anything fancy and loved the ease of putting it in and out. Great review!
I have the Black (mine is metal not plastic) Humancentric and I love it, it's just holds my 14" MacBook Pro M2 laptop very nicely. It saves a lot of desk space at home. I also connected my Anker 11-in-1 USB C Hub to the laptop, so all the reports I need are right there on the USB C Hub y hub.
Can you open the lid a bit while the MacBook is in the first humancentric stand? Since this is the only way to power on a shutdown MacBook with Silicon chip, this would be a huge benefit of this design!
I just got the GodSpin for my base M3 Macbook. Recently, I've been watching videos about taking care of Macbooks. Granted, I'm not as familiar with Macbooks as I am with an iMac. It appears to me some RUclips videos point out the vulnerability of closing the screen and keyboard body in certain positions: be there a camera tab blocker that eventually bends the screen; or the heat from the keyboard affecting the screen when closed together; or just placing a closed Macbook other than a solid vertical upright position (especially during travel). Watching these videos earlier this week, I just realized: should there be any precautions in placing a Macbook in a vertical stand from the closing hinge side or the opening mouth side. I ask because with the GodSpin stand, the mouth slides in differently than the "hinge" side. It's a different curvature and size at these parallel sides. So aside from considering heat and air flow, I'm wondering if placing the laptop right side up or upside down, would have a salient effect on eventually bending the laptop. Any thoughts, sir? Anyone? couchpotatter
I like the design of the plastic one. I would pay more money for something like that in metal with spring pivot hinges and a lot more sturdier than the plastic.
I agree, but have your Macbook with the hinges-side /vents facing upward /top for ventilation purposes (the logo position is upside down, but is secondary to functionality )
I have a 2015 mbp ,Screen broke (Gonna use it like a Mac mini) ,Cost the same amount to get a replacement (cheapest I’ve seen is $400 on eBay) I found out the antenna for WiFi and Bluetooth is located in the screen.Will the metal interfere?
Best one to get is the rain brand vertical stand in my opinion These are two small a width of a base to hold a upright laptop Without falling over The rain one is 46.00 but worth it in my opinion These are just two small Again my opinion.
HeyJerry awesome video! I'll probably get the Godspin or the Human Centric. I was curious when turning on the macbook, I would need to pull it out of the case right? Or is it possible to boot it up, simply with a dedicated power strip?
Thanks for the video. I haven’t seen many videos or articles that address the possible heat ventilation issue. I’ve wondered about the orientation of the M1 Pro Mac Pro in a vertical stand. I bought a different branded godspin, very nice. It only blocks 1 of the three rear vents and I have a couple lengths of 1/8” plastic tubing in each horizontal/vertical corner. That keeps the center vent from sitting directly on the rubber mat. I was wondering if the two front lateral vents are effective enough, since Apple touts the fact that the fans hardly ever run. Also, after looking at a teardown video, it”s hard to tell how much passive ventilation actually comes out the rear… only the center vent? Or, am I overthinking this? - Dan
I don't think that thumbscrew was better because that is something what you have to change maybe once in a one or two year so it doesn't need to thumbscrew there.
for 27” i like to scale at 2560x1440 which looks ok on a 4k display. If you match the pro display xdr scale of 3008x1692 on a 4k display I think it will look too blury. not sharp enough.
@@JerrySchulze thanks for your answer! Now I think that best picture quality will be on 27" 4k monitor like M28U. I really don't understand why in Internet no reviews with real picture quality comparison of several monitors size and screen resolution. I will try to personally check in the store.
Hi Jerry! I just purchased a new M1 MacBook Air and, since it's so incredibly light, I wondered if the plastic HumanCentric stand would still grip it? Did you test that model (or a similarly light and thin laptop)? Or, do you have a different recommendation for a MacBook Air? Thanks!
Waiting for the BookArc to get compatible and of course the only reasonably prices alternative that could have worked as a stopgap solution is not available in EU 🤦♂
Does using the laptop in the vertical stand have any impact on it's cooling? Closing the lid seems like it also closes off the vents at the front of the computer near the display.
The same people who would want a minimal desk setup in the first place, which is exactly what this is for. If you’re into having a clean aesthetic of course an upside down logo would bother you. This isn’t rocket science lol.
@@JerrySchulze Oh I’m not against vertical stands. I’m against cheap garbage from China. Or anywhere for that matter. The problem is there’s almost nothing decent out there. Seen many of cheap ones, but nothing decent. Which is why I came here looking for a good option. The MacBook Dock from Grovemade looks like a nice quality stand. Can’t recommend it first hand thought as I still have to place my order and have some time using it. Btw don’t let the word dock confuse you as it’s just a vertical stand.

My OCD doens't agree with you
OCD people are gunna get fked up on this one 💀
Same here! I started to put it upside down.
I have a differently branded godspin stand and love it. It is super solid with no wobble, and I really like the minimal look.
Good to know!
Thank you for your help. I chose the HumanCentric Vertical Stand. I didn’t want anything fancy and loved the ease of putting it in and out. Great review!
My preference is with the HumanCentric Vertical Laptop Stand.

I don’t think there would be any concern about bending in one of these stands.
just ordered the first humanCentric vertical stand. it will be my first of this kind of laptop stand. looking forward to my experience.
Very cool! What display will you be using?
@@JerrySchulze LG 32 inch
the best is from Grovemade, price is a killer though
I like the design of the plastic one. I would pay more money for something like that in metal with spring pivot hinges and a lot more sturdier than the plastic.
All of these are actually pretty unique, was a fun video to make.
Excellent review. Thanks for creating. I came looking for which one to buy from Amazon and this mentioned all the ones that I was looking that!
I need a vertical stand that has cable raceways underneath my power cable is on the bottom in the middle.
godspin is GREAT!!
I agree, but have your Macbook with the hinges-side /vents facing upward /top for ventilation purposes (the logo position is upside down, but is secondary to functionality )
How do you switch on and off every time of the use? Take it out switch on then put it back?
Just the video I needed! Subscribed and Liked
wow, thanks!
Thanks for this awesome presentation.
I had a HengeDocks dock for my previous MacBook Pro from 2015. Bit of a bummer they haven’t updated it for the 2021 Pro yet
I need a double vertical stand still looking
Thanks!
do you have to open the MacBook Air to turn it on or no ?
Exactly what I was looking for. Also looking for covers for MacBook Pro 14".
Would love to get a new base stand for my LG 5k apple monitor can not find one anywhere.
I have a 2015 mbp ,Screen broke (Gonna use it like a Mac mini) ,Cost the same amount to get a replacement (cheapest I’ve seen is $400 on eBay) I found out the antenna for WiFi and Bluetooth is located in the screen.Will the metal interfere?
do these work with the MacBook Air M1?
They sure do
Best one to get is the rain brand vertical stand in my opinion
These are two small a width of a base to hold a upright laptop
Without falling over
The rain one is 46.00 but worth it in my opinion
These are just two small
Again my opinion.

I have the same question. Did you find the answer?
My MacBook Pro can’t turn on when use on vertical stand T T how to fix this problem

I would try and monitor and see if there are issues. I am guessing none or minimal.
I decided to go with the Godspin
Any of these compatible with macbook pro 16 m1 pro?
Yes, all.
@@JerrySchulze thank you man
Would the Godspin stand work with a Mac mini? I’d love a video with stands for the mini as I like to stand up my mini
Looks like plenty of room. good idea.
I don't think that thumbscrew was better because that is something what you have to change maybe once in a one or two year so it doesn't need to thumbscrew there.
Please review the me brydge dock
Hello! You can say, for mbp 14 best external monitor is 4k 32 inch or 4k 27 ? i speak about ppi and quality of picture on Mac OS scaling
for 27” i like to scale at 2560x1440 which looks ok on a 4k display. If you match the pro display xdr scale of 3008x1692 on a 4k display I think it will look too blury. not sharp enough.

Lovely review. Would they all work on carpet, want to put my laptop next to my couch
Probably but not sure how sturdy. High pile carpet may be an issue.
You are in my mind!
Damn, how did you find out?
This video is titled with "macbook air" but says nothing about the macbook air...
They all will work for any MacBook. Thanks for checking it out.
sadly theres almost no stands out there that will fit this M2 macbook air:(
Just a note on the Wood. That is black walnut not oak. Great video.
Crap, my bad. Thanks!

They don't get closed, they are accessible from the back
I just 3D printed one. Best one when it costs less that an $1 for filament.
Very cool! Do you have the link to the plan?
@@JerrySchulze I can't paste the url as RUclips deletes the post..
@@rmacfarland1 weird. If you send me on twitter I can post.
Satechi, hands down.
I don't think metal on metal is good for finish
This stuff doesn't scratch the MacBook at all? I've never used one but that's my first thought seeing them being placed inside.
"allen wrench" already no. 🤣
I just can't get over the fact that new macbook pros are so much uglier than the last ones--
9:02 *WHO CARESSSSS?!!!* WTF

@@papermelon it has nothing to do with minimalism, it's OCD level 999
Garbage, all of them. Same as buying cheap Chinese case for your iPhone.
interesting. Lots of people use vertical docks. Is there another one you do like?
