SATECHI TYPE–C

ALUMINUM MONITOR

STAND HUB

$89.99 From Satechi, satechi.net

Features Seven ports (SD, microSD,

USB–A x3, USB–C x1, headphone jack),

USB–A to USB–C adapter

One problem with the iMac is you can’t adjust its

height. Simply plonking it on a pile of old books is

hardly the answer — but Satechi’s USB–C monitor

stand could be. Not only does it raise your iMac to

a more comfortable height, but it puts a selection

of ports front and center for easy access.

BLUE YETI NANO

$99.99 From Blue,

blue-designs.com

Features 20Hz–20kHz frequency

response, cardioid and omnidirectional

recording patterns, 48kHz sample rate

Working from home means virtual meetings galore,

but your iMac’s built–in microphone is barely up

to the task. Enter the Blue Yeti Nano, a compact

version of Blue’s excellent Yeti mic. It’s small

enough not to clutter up your desk, but still offers

the same fantastic audio you expect from Blue.

All those conference calls with your boss have

never sounded so good.

MAGICBRIDGE

$39.99 From Twelve South,

twelvesouth.com

Features Slots for device ports and

construction, non–slip silicone feet

Using your iMac’s Magic Keyboard in tandem

with a Magic Trackpad gets a whole lot better with

Twelve South’s MagicBridge. This holder brings

both devices together, meaning no more reaching

for one when it slips out of position, and making

lap–based working easy. You can put the trackpad

on the left or right of the keyboard.
