The Satechi Type-C iMac hub takes the party from the back and puts it in the front

NEWS – For several years, my primary computer was an iMac and I loved everything about it except for one thing. Apple hid all the ports on the back of the iMac making them awkward and annoying to access. It’s been a long time since I switched from an iMac to a MacBook, and even now, years and several computer updates later, Apple still hides the ports on the back of the iMac. Luckily we have companies like Satechi that build products to solve problems like this. Their new Type-C Aluminum Monitor Stand Hub is both elegant and useful.

The hub brings an SD card and a micro SD card slot up front along with a 3.5mm headphone jack, 3 USB 3.0 ports, and a Type-C port. But that’s not all, it doubles as a monitor stand to raise the iMac 1.63 inches off your desk. The hub is available in silver or space gray for $89.99. You can read more about it by visiting satechi.net and Amazon.

Understands are one-of-a-kind wood stands for iMacs

NEWS – Apple’s iMacs are designed to be the pinnacle of a high tech lifestyle. But there’s something a little cold about all that brushed aluminum and angular lines. Understands desk stands bring the warmth of nature to your iMac. They are made out of urban wood which is another name to describe salvaged wood from downed trees in local areas. Instead of sourcing their lumber from distant places, Understands uses these local logs to create one of a kind stands and shelves for the Apple iMac and other computers.

Made of Ash and Walnut, the wood stands are handmade so no two will look the same. They come in versions with or without a built-in drawer and are priced starting at $109. They are available at Understands.com and we’ll have a full review of one of their stands coming soon.
