Bylitco Desktop Stand for Mac Mini 2010-2023,M1/M2,Vertical Holder,Perfect for Desk Organization and Heat Dissipation，Soft Cushioned Protection, Space-Saving Design- Black

Please excuse the dust haha, came a little dented but nothing too big. Got some nice weight to it so the Mac is always secure.

I normally don’t do amazon reviews, but I wanted to let other Mac mini users know this is the perfect solution for standing your Mac mini vertically.When I inboxed this, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the stand is a very heavy and sturdy metal. The Mac mini fits inside it snugly, such that it takes a good amount of upward force to pull the Mac mini from the stand.The stand is wide enough such that it would be very difficult to knock the mini over. I feel very safe with my mini inside this. I have no fear the mini will fall out on its own.The bottom of the stand has rubber, meaning the mini does not slide around if a wire gets pulled while in this stand. Since the Mac mini fits so snugly inside the stand, pushing the Mac from any angle will cause the rubber under the stand to hold the mini in place. The important fact here, is that pushing the mini from any angle will NOT cause it to fall out of the stand, but instead will cause the stand to slide on the table. This is what separates this stand from the other popular (and worse) option on amazon.The matte black colour also looks amazing on the Mac mini. This is a very good looking, high-quality case.And yes, standing the mini vertically improves Bluetooth, wifi, and heat dissipation.Hopefully I’ve saved some of y’all a headache. This is hands down the best solution for standing your mini vertically. I feel safer with my mini vertical in this stand than I do having my mini lay horizontally on the table (due to the rubber under the stand).

I recently purchased the Cxmount Desktop Stand for my Mac Mini M2 Pro, and I must say that it’s an excellent addition to my workspace. Its modern design perfectly complements my device, adding a touch of elegance to my desk setup. The vertical orientation not only saves valuable space but also provides better airflow, keeping my device from overheating.The stand is made of high-quality materials that are sturdy and durable, ensuring that my Mac Mini stays secure while on the stand. The rubber pads on the base add extra stability and prevent scratches on my desk surface.Installation was a breeze, and I appreciate how versatile this stand is, accommodating various models of Mac Minis from 2010-2020 and M1 models. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a stylish and practical way to display their Mac Mini.

Vertically mounted any Mac Mini computer on a sturdy stand is a very good idea, as that way the Mac Mini will run noticeably cooler ===> electronics work better for longer. The key things are that the stand is relatively heavy and a smug fit for holding the Mac Mini securely. This Cxmount stand does both of these unlike the other stand. The orientation of the computer is important, if you look very closely at the upper right hand corner you can just see the tiny power on LED light. And the on/off button is fully accessible around the corner on the top left portion of the computer. I found if i put the computer one way into the stand it was slightly crooked, but if I rotated it vertically 180° then it stood vertically. I placed a tiny strip of rubbery shelf liner material in the stand before mounting the computer on top of the liner to secure the computer a tad more securely. My 2018 MacMini is fully maxed out so it tends to run hotish, so the best fan control software is TG Pro.app in my experience, just set it to "AutoMax", and it will take care of the rest.

Important if you use a Mac Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse.I updated my 5 star to 4 star on account of bluetooth and wifi issues for me. After a week of my Mac mini being vertical I began to notice some Bluetooth issues, I have 2018 Mac mini and a new Mac Keyboard and Magic Mouse, I did notice I would loose a connect every now and then, with both the keyboard and mouse which I didn't have these connection drops before, I also lost connection with file sharing which I never had before, It could also be the area my MacMini was positioned in, In stead of placing my MM in another area I decided not to use the stand for now. Perhaps if I decide to move my MacMini in another room I try the stand again, and see what happens. Anyway it is a decent stand well made and fits like a glove, I't just not going to work for me at the present.

LOVE this stand. It's heavy weighted and sturdy, has a nice foam protector so it doesn't slide around on my glass top dry board desk. FIts perfect behind my monitor. The curtains that are located close to my computer don't cause the base to move when I slide them past the unit every night. This thing is wicked solid. That being said. I kept hearing my fan throttling and my computer wasn't showing high usage and everything was slowing down enough for a designer to notice. I did a diagnostic and everything seemed fine. No high app usage or overheating. Then I remembered the only thing that changed was I had rotated to mac mini with the power button on the bottom for easier access every morning. So I flipped it over so the power button is on top. INSTANT FIX. My fan immediately turn off and my computer became faster again. So flip it if you have the same issue. For reference, I have a late 2014 custom mac running 16GB with 1TB and Big Sur.

Nice heavy base. Even though the Mac Mini has a small footprint, it's nice to make it smaller. It probably helps with cooling as well.
