Looking for a sleek and functional way to elevate your iMac monitor while expanding your connectivity options? Look no further than the Satechi Type-C Aluminum Monitor Stand Hub.

This monitor stand not only lifts your iMac to a comfortable viewing angle, reducing neck strain and encouraging better posture, but also features built-in expansion ports, allowing for easy access to frequently used ports like USB-C data transfer (up to 5 Gbps), 3 USB 3.0 ports (up to 5 Gbps), micro/SD card slots (UHS-I, up to 104 Mbps), and an audio jack port.

With a max width of 8.5 inches, this stand also maximizes your desk space by creating storage for your keypads, notebooks, chargers, and other accessories. Plus, the sleek yet durable design seamlessly blends into your modern desk setup, supporting monitors and desktops up to 50 lbs.
