    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

    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

    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!

    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 KZread 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

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.
