HEWYIOS Desktop Stand Suitable for Mac Mini and Mac Studio, Laptop Base PMMA Transparent Acrylic dustproof air Filter Heat Dissipation Suitable for Mac Mini M1 M2 Host

I love this Mac Mini acrylic stand! The acrylic itself is gorgeous, with such a sleek, minimalist look. With the slight incline, now my Mac can sit up off the desk enough so that it doesn’t overheat, which has been a lifesaver. I also appreciate the mesh slits that help to disperse the heat. Didn’t think I’d need something like this until recently, and now I can’t see myself wanting to go without it. Something I really love is the versatility – one side has been specifically molded to fit the Mac Mini while the other side perfectly fits the Mac Studio. Such a creative design and a truly stellar product.

The acrylic looks good and is sized perfectly for my mac mini. Rubber/silicone feet keep the stand in place. Four vents cut into the acrylic allow for airflow. The vents are covered with a perforated "bandaid-like" material. Spacers need to be added/pasted on to prevent the computer from sitting directly on the stand. The stand works well enough and the mac mini looks good enough in it, but it did not do enough for my setup. Turns out I need more functionality/ports than what is provided so a USB hub is what I had to get. In addition, to save space, my USB hub holds the mac mini on its side, thus giving me more space on my desk. Finally, the material covering the vents started peeling off after only a few minutes after unboxing. Spares are provided, but this demonstrates a lack of workmanship/design. If you don't need additional functionality, this will suffice.

Serves a little bit of a purpose, mostly cosmetic. I was utilizing it to separate my dock from my Mac mini, but it doesn’t hold it firmly slides around easily.
