Grovemade’s sexy new laptop stand will give you wood at your desk

Add as a preferred source on Google

Grovemade may have gotten its start making high-end wooden iPhone cases, but this Portland-based outfit is no one-trick pony. Over the past year or so, the company has been branching out and expanding its product offerings, making everything from wooden timepieces to desktop accessories. Today, they’re back with yet another sumptuous slab of wood — a hardwood laptop stand.

Similar to Grovemade’s previously-released Monitor Stand, the freshly-announced Laptop Stand is crafted from multiple sheets of wood veneer bent into a graceful, forward-leaning curve. This angled platform boasts ample surface space, raises your computer for improved ergonomics, and creates an area underneath for stowing desktop accessories.

“Bringing increased function and order to your desktop, the Laptop Stand is the perfect complement to any work or home office, making for a distinctive and comfortable way to help you work, watch, or play,” says Ken Tomita, Grovemade’s co-founder. “The Laptop Stand’s unique design, molded and shaped from several sheets of wood, lends a welcoming aesthetic boost to your workspace.”

As you’d expect, the new laptop stand is made from Grovemade’s favorite materials — Eastern Hardrock Maple and Black Oregon Walnut. And that’s not all. For added functionality, each stand also features a precision cut aluminum stop, lined with premium, vegetable-tanned leather, to prevent your laptop from sliding off the stand.

Universally compatible with all laptop models, Grovemade’s Laptop Stand retails at $119 and is available starting today on Grovemade’s website.

Amazon is saying bye-bye to Muse while Walmart is rolling out the welcome mat for Meta’s shopping agent
AI shopping bots are knocking, and Amazon is pretending nobody is home
Meta muse charm front

For years, Amazon has been working to become the go-to place for online shopping. But what happens when shoppers don’t have to go to Amazon at all? That's the question as AI shopping agents start to change the way people discover, compare, and buy products. And while Amazon builds walls, some of its competitors are going for a different strategy.

In a report from The Wall Street Journal, Amazon swiftly shut down Meta’s new Muse AI shopping agent from being able to purchase items on its platform, citing safety concerns. Meanwhile, Walmart and Shopify have struck deals with Meta, buying into Muse. The contrast could hint at a seismic shift in online retail, where the next fight might not be over who has the best shopping website, but which platform AI agents decide to patronize.

You might want to hold off on the new M6 MacBook Pro, as its successor could offer a substantially different design.
M6 MacBook Pro lifestyle

Apple recently unveiled the new entry-level MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, alongside the touchscreen model, which the company is calling the "MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display." The entry-level model does have some upgrades besides the chip, like a longer battery life and a 12MP Center Stage camera system, but it completely missed out on many of the core design overhauls that the premium model carries. That said, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that next year's model will come with a redesign similar to the OLED model.

What could change with the M7 MacBook Pro?
