I used to be an enormous fan of Twelve South’s unique BackPack for the iMac when it was launched 13 years in the past. And I’m simply as huge a fan of the new BackPack for the 2023 iMac with an M3 processor (see my iMac overview right here).
The US$44.99 product has one purpose and achieves it flawlessly. The aluminum shelf attaches to the again of the Studio Show 24-inch iMac stand. You should utilize it to carry laborious drives and hubs and declutter your desktop. I take advantage of it to carry/disguise the exterior laborious drive I take advantage of as a Time Machine back-up.
The gang at Twelve South say if the again of your Studio Show iMac faces co-workers or clients, the matte white shelf can showcase awards, artwork, and even your favourite motion figures. The again of my Studio Show solely faces a wall, so this doesn’t apply to me, however a minimum of you recognize.
The shelf requires a little bit of set up, however the course of is fast and straightforward. A two-piece holster snaps into the oval opening on the again of your Studio Show or iMac stand. Then you definitely slide the stand onto the holster. That’s it. And regardless that the shelf/storage rack solely is available in one hue, the holster is obvious so the colour of your Studio Show or iMac shines via.
The BackPack additionally features a peripheral strap and cable administration options. You should utilize the strap to connect two units to the shelf. For instance, you need to stash two exterior drives on the BackPack, an exterior drive and a hub, and so on. There are additionally a number of cable ties to tie up lengthy, dangling cables.
In the event you like a streamlined desktop as a lot as I do, the moderately priced Twelve South BackPack will conveniently cut back your litter.
