Who knew a small shelf could bring such big joy? I recently purchased the Twelve South Backpack, and let me tell you, it's like the secret agent of iMac accessories. Designed to pair with my M1 iMac, this nifty little shelf has become my go-to solution for hiding my portable hard drive, which serves as an always-plugged-in Time Machine backup drive.
The installation was a breeze, almost as if the shelf and my iMac had been on a few dates and really hit it off. It's discreetly tucked behind the screen, making it virtually invisible. My desk, once a sprawling mess of wires and gadgets, now looks like it could feature in a minimalist design magazine. The Backpack holds my hard drive snugly, without any fear of it playing a game of gravity.
Functionality aside, the aesthetic harmony it brings to my workspace is outstanding. There's something immensely satisfying about not seeing the hard drive, yet knowing it's there, working tirelessly. It's like having a silent, efficient assistant who's always got your back (or in this case, your data).
Moreover, the build quality is top-notch. It feels sturdy, and the color matches seamlessly with my iMac, making it look like an extension of the computer rather than an add-on. The shelf doesn't wobble or complain, even when I've accidentally nudged it while in a battle with a stubborn USB cable.
Sure, it's not the flashiest accessory out there, but its simplicity and functionality make it a standout. It's one of those purchases that you don't know you need until you have it, and then you wonder how you ever managed without it.
So, if you're looking for a way to declutter your desk and keep your hard drive out of sight, the Twelve South Backpack might just be your new best friend. Just don't tell your actual best friend – some secrets are worth keeping!
Sitzt, paßt, wackelt und hat Luft :-) Genial für meinen 2023er iMac. Läßt sich leicht anbringen. Ideale Ablage für das Netzteil und meine Externe Festplatte
For what it is the cost is a bit pricey, but the build quality is very good, it’s easy to install and once it’s installed you’d never know it was there. The inclusion of the strap to secure what’s on the shelf is also a nice addition.
