The same goes for Twelve South's previous HiRise device, and the current HiRise Pro, which offers adjustable shelving heights at a far higher price of $169.99. Although Satechi's Type-C Stand is also a fixed height, it feels far more universal at just over an inch off the desktop and could easily hit the ergonomic sweet spot of more individuals than the Curve Riser. This height will work for some users who are taller than me, but the inability to truly customize the exact height of the accessory is a let down at this $79.99 price point. I have an adjustable desk, so there is some wiggle room to knock my iMac down lower, but not much. I frequently have to tilt my head up and down when I work and move to different parts of the iMac display, with my eyes hitting just about the middle of the display when sitting tall. Twelve South Curve Riser (left) and Satechi Type-C iMac Stand (right)Īt 4.2 inches tall, the Curve Riser is simply too tall for me. The Satechi stand sits about 1.63 inches tall, which isn't a lot, but ultimately provided me with just the right eye level for my iMac. The difference in height between Satechi's accessory and the Twelve South Curve Riser has been so drastic that I've barely gotten used to the Curve Riser over the past week, and I'm not sure that I should. In recent years I transitioned to Satechi's Type-C Stand, which despite offering only one height option, provided a great selection of easily accessible front-facing ports. Twelve South's original (and now discontinued) HiRise for iMac was my first go-to iMac desk stand, and it provided a few different height levels, perfect for finding my favorite position.
If you provide a little bit of height to your setup, ideally with the top of your display hitting your eye level, you can sit with a straight back and keep all of the display in your vision without any awkward neck tilts. The idea behind iMac stands like the Curve Riser is that Apple's desktop computer (and most fixed-height computers) aren't naturally ergonomic.
There's no front or back door, and although the accessory has a far bigger footprint than any iMac stand I've owned (coming in at 9 by 12 inches), its design is airy, sleek, and unobtrusive. This month Twelve South launched a new accessory for the iMac, iMac Pro, and external displays, called the " Curve Riser." Similar to its HiRise products, the Curve Riser elevates your iMac to a position that's supposed to be more ergonomic for most users, while also providing some storage underneath the iMac.įrom a materials standpoint, the Curve Riser matches Twelve South's established standard as a premium accessory maker it's built from a sleek metal and only comes in black.
