Twelve South (www.twelvesouth.com) has introduced a new accessory for the Apple MacBook: the US$39.99 BaseLift, an “utra-thin” folding pad and stand.

It attaches to the bottom of your MacBook and folds into a wedge, elevating your screen. It’s designed to bring your keyboard to a much more comfortable typing angle.

Folded flat, BaseLift is a soft pad that protects your lap from the heat or cold of your aluminum MacBook. However, it’s also compatible with all Apple laptops, from the 11-inch MacBook Air to the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
