Fin for your MacBook - Stand, Handle, Cooling System
Fins-Up has announced the availability of the FIN for Macbook and Macbook Pro customers. The FIN is an aluminium stand which screws into existing holes in the bottom of your Macbook and acts as a laptop stand to bring the keyboard to a more ergonomic angle. It also acts as a handle when you’re carrying your Macbook, and the aluminium stand helps dissipate heat so your laptop runs without overheating.
From the press release:
The FIN attaches simply and boasts equally easy removal. When installed, the FIN tilts the MacBook to a perfect ergonomic angle for typing and screen viewing. The FIN also serves as a convenient handle that not only makes carrying the computer easier, but much safer by providing the user with an area for a firm grip, thereby helping prevent drops that can either severally damage or altogether destroy the computer. The FIN also aides with insertion and retrieval of the computer from carry and tote bags, and when installed the FIN assists with the dissipation of processor-generated heat, increasing product longevity in the process.
It seems that the “handle” aspect of the FIN could be especially helpful for Macbook users who have trouble with dexterity, gripping, or vision. Dropping a laptop can have disastrous consequences, and anything that helps you to avoid it is a good thing!

I have a macbook (air) and this invention looks awesome! I have noticed that my macbook gets very hot after long use. Almost so hot that you would burn yourself.
This was a great invention and many thanks for the heads up.. I think I will go and buy one of these FIN right away!
Cheers!
