The Tilt is a new stand for MacBook Pros that promises to cool our laptops without spoiling too much the design designed by Apple. The Tilt is specially made to be mounted without problems on a MacBook Pro and the video clip above demonstrates as well as possible how the product can be used. The Tilt combines active and passive cooling technologies and in terms of dimensions, you will add quite a lot to the thickness of the product, as you can see in the image below.
Unfortunately, The Tilt is only designed to work with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but it has the great advantage that it can be mounted on a tripod, so it is probably a must-have for photographers. For now, The Tilt is just a project that is waiting for funding on kickstarter.com, but it has been obtained and in 5 days the money will reach the developers who will start producing the first units.
The TILT is the first cooling stand specifically designed & engineered for the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro. The TILT is a revolutionary new approach to clunky & boring notebook computer stands. It combines active and passive cooling technology with complete portability. The TILT functions as a desktop stand, lap cooling pad and tripod stand all in one sleek portable device. The TILT embraces the philosophy of the Apple brand – simple, sleek, smart, and slim. While other stands try to cater to every laptop, The TILT is specifically designed for the aluminum unibody Macbook Pro. Once it is attached, The TILT literally becomes one with your Macbook Pro. The TILT pre-order is currently for the 15″ aluminum unibody MacBook Pro which also includes the late 2011 models just announced by Apple in October 2011. The TILT for the 13″ MacBook Pro is still in the development phase.
