I bought this 3 weeks ago from Satechi with a small discount. I love it. It's super stable, my 11" iPP fits nicely in the stand whether it's in a thin case or no case. The adjustability is great. Compared to other stands or the Apple Magic Keyboard case, the Satechi stand holds the iPad higher - which is more ergonomic - I'm not bending my head down so much to look at the screen. Although, if you want it lower, you can certainly achieve that with the stand's adjustability. This Satechi stand folds nearly flat, but due to the weight and slight bulk I wouldn't travel with it. Satechi makes a smaller, lighter stand called the R1 that is much more portable and also supports the iPad very nicely. I bought one years ago and it still works great and looks new. Highly recommended. But for home/office use, I much prefer the new Satechi stand that Jeff is reviewing in this video.
Unfortunately they are out of stock on the iPad stand but, I did purchase two other products. Love their quality. I’m on the waiting list for the iPad stand. Thanks 9to5 mac 🖥
Thanks man, I have the 12” pro and for Covid for zoom, bought the hinge folder for it but it’s too low and not as stable. This one looks to be way better for presentations and higher lift for zoom.
Main problem with this stand is fact what bottom u-shaped side of upper movable part is too big and there is just hole in middle, you’ll need to detach charging cable or connected accessories like external DAC to place tablet in portrait mode, also that partly covers bottom line of UI on iPad Pro and that is not too handy. Definitely recommend to future buyers to keep eye on aluminium stand from Ugreen.
I bought the Slim X1 keyboard a couple of weeks ago and would rate it a 4/5. Considering that I haven't rated a keyboard a '5' in years is saying something. Great to type on, really well constructed and excellent battery life so far. It's the 'little things' that knock it down a notch. It would also be nice if they had it in silver to match my MacBook Pro color. I was able to get a 20% discount on purchase on a promotion they were having! I avoided Satechi for years as I wasn't too impressed with their products. I'm glad that it looks like they've taken it up a notch. I'm thinking of getting this iPad stand as well. I think the price is 'okay' but the simplicity and build look top notch. Well done Satechi and thank you Jeff for the review!
@@brentgreeff1115 The keyboard feel is very much like a keyboard on a new Apple laptop. But the keys feel a tiny bit bigger which for me, is a great thing. For the typing experience, it's a fantastic keyboard. So far, I think it's a keeper. Good luck with it.
Do you also have a Magic Trackpad 2? I wanted to know if the height and thickness match up when you have them side by side like it would with Apple’s Magic Keyboard.
A backlit Magic Keyboard - nice - my NEXSTAND just arrived - every now & again my touch typing in the dark lets me down & I end up swearing while I try & find a key. - very keen to see a review on this.
OK - just compared - it looks exactly the same as my macbook keyboard except for F3 & F4 - | Expose view | Showcase app view | - I do love those functions, so I hope I can map them somehow. - they also kept the arrow keys full-size which is nice. -
Have u tried if this can hold MacBook Pro 13 as well? I wanna know pls before i purchase. When it is all the way down for better support. I mean just a lil elevation. Thanks
Ok, but what if there was a stand that used the iPad’s magnet array and smart connector to mount the device. This and the ability to swivel the back plate to hold the iPad in a vertical orientation
Everyone is making iMac like stands for the iPad to look more Apple esque, but why no one is considering a Pro Stand like a stand for iPad? It would sell like hot cakes.
The biggest issue for me is using something that can fold like a smart folio on a flat surface like a traditional tablet and can prop up an iPad like a traditional laptop. Once those two merge good enough I am first in line buying that product. Whoever makes it.
@@jdlien81 So, we can only hope Chrome will update soon. 9to5Mac … pushing the tech as an early adopter. I mean most people use Chrome but then again it's. Mac channel. So, the stats might be in their favor on Safari users in that case. Not sure.
@@maxziebell4013 Yeah, something seems wrong with Chrome and HDR - surprised CZcams supports it but not Chrome, which is made by the same company. I like Safari but Chrome is better for watching video because I use speed adjustments all the time and that sounds awful in Safari and causes the audio to cut out temporarily.
I really like this stand and by far, it is of amazing quality. The only thing I have noticed that I am annoyed with, is that the color tone of the stand is quite dark grey compared to other Satechi items, such as the space grey laptop stand and mouse pad. Maybe I'm OCD!
I am impressed that you squeezed over 5 minutes out of a stand!
There was keyboard ⌨️ talk mind you 😂😂 but he did well.

Can I use it with thicker case??
All of Satechi's products are solid quality
Have u used the backlit keyboard? - is it exactly the same layout as a magic keyboard? - very keen to try
Yeah, and very expensive too
Satechi makes the best accessories by far!
I’m always super happy with the price-performance of their devices.
I purchased this before watching your review and now I’m even more confident in my decision to purchase. Great review and presentation.
I wish these stands could somehow implement the use of the charging connection on the back of the iPad Pro's like the Magic Keyboard does.
I like the looks of this new stand. I recently purchased the previous stand, and it’s perfect for an iPad or Nintendo Switch.
Unfortunately they are out of stock on the iPad stand but, I did purchase two other products. Love their quality. I’m on the waiting list for the iPad stand. Thanks 9to5 mac 🖥
They make great quality stuff! 👍
I need this in my life!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man, I have the 12” pro and for Covid for zoom, bought the hinge folder for it but it’s too low and not as stable. This one looks to be way better for presentations and higher lift for zoom.
It’s „Satechi“, not „Setachi“.
this should be higher.
It looks very elegant!
Learnt how to drag a video for 5 minutes with just a stand good video
Beautiful design and pratical.
Setachi sounds more like it should have been named
Great stand
The huge Satechi branding ruins it for me.
Thanks for sharing. I really like this stand and keyboard. Will check it out!
Shot for every time he says Satechi!!
Lowest angle for apple pencil, monitor style for sidecar/duet display
Great video

I just ordered it - Is it going to be a drop in replacement for my Magic keyboard? Key layout looks very similar, but I hope its touch-type similar.

Should try it with a 13inch MacBook. I'm sure it would be fine but not sure how sturdy it would be with a 16inch though.
Abovetek support is the best one
Great highlight video and I can def use but the site says Out of Stock when I tried to order Yeesh
I was going to buy this but I wasn’t sure what the make and model was 😬
I love it, but I got a dent and some scratches on the edge and arm.... help....
This would be the best stand if it had the magnets and the same charge option as the magic keyboard. Now it is just a regular non interesting stand.
They could’ve use the magnets on the back of the ipad to develop a mount that works with it. im not really fan of the design.
Sweet 👍🏻👍🏻
Can you compare to yoobao, would that be possible

I have a macbook, macmini & an iphone so this kboard solves a lot of problems. -
Thanks for toning the brightness down. Your channel’s been blinding my eyes lately.
Would be nice if you could buy it in the UK. Six months on and you still cannot get this stand.
Have u tried if this can hold MacBook Pro 13 as well? I wanna know pls before i purchase. When it is all the way down for better support. I mean just a lil elevation. Thanks
Can it hold an iPad Air/Pro with Smart Folio attached?
Which is that widget on the home screen?
Can the ipad stand fit the Ipad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen with an apple keyboard attached to it and folded back? Or would it have to be disconnected? Thanks
Will it be stable with the iPad 12.9 inch?
Sucks that it’s out of stock on the day you published the video.
Ok, but what if there was a stand that used the iPad’s magnet array and smart connector to mount the device. This and the ability to swivel the back plate to hold the iPad in a vertical orientation
I’d argue this should be the form-factor of a future iMac
It's aight.
Any of you know if it works with an iPad that has a case? How thin or how thick is the bottom support? BTW, it’s out of stock.
Never knew they are called satAchi lol

Satachi?

Would be nice. -- I have my macbook on a nextstand - I wish I could easily sidecar the iPad pro
Why did you not mention it is BLUE! Finish looks terrible next to the Satechi keyboard
$45? Is it trying to be the Pro Stand for the iPads?
All the description links contains malware.
too bad its not on amazon
How can I disable the blown out look. It's aweful quality.
I noticed this as well in Chrome (macOS) - it looked fine in Safari, though.

Is it just me or the whole video is overexposed?
It’s shot in HDR
Something with the HDR playback?
Not on my monitor (iMac Retina 5K)
@@MrWinger1951 I just figured out why, it plays in HDR on Safari but not on Chrome
Will it hold my Surface Pro 7? Wrong channel? lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Flip the e and a
Not even close to pronouncing the brand name correctly. How can the E have an A sound??
Why do you keep pronouncing Satechi like it's Hitachi with an 'S'? (I'm assuming it's "suh·teh·chee")
Mmm... Meh! It's a stand and keyboard. Doesn't look like anything special.
Do you know how many people use Chrome? Please stop uploading HDR videos.
Or at least offer a non-HDR version that's not low resolution.
