Let’s talk about the Mac mini. It’s this fantastic, powerful little brick of computing potential that always feels slightly homeless on a desk. It’s too nice to hide, but it never quite integrates, always sitting off to the side with its umbilical cord of cables creating a small, localized mess. For years, the community has resorted to DIY shelves, under-desk mounts, and 3D-printed contraptions to solve this aesthetic puzzle. Every so often a company tries to crack it, but the solutions often feel like afterthoughts. At this year’s IFA 2025, however, a company named Alogic might have just unveiled the most elegant and purposeful answer to the Mac mini placement problem I’ve ever seen, and it’s disguised as a monitor stand.
The product in question is the Aspekt Omni Fold Stand, and its core concept is so brilliantly simple you wonder why nobody did it this well before. Instead of creating a separate caddy or mount, Alogic built the Mac mini’s home directly into the base of a premium monitor stand. This isn’t just a shelf; it’s a precisely engineered groove designed to cradle Apple’s M4 Mac mini, transforming it and its companion monitor into a cohesive, all-in-one style workstation. It’s the kind of thoughtful design that appeals directly to the Apple ethos of clean lines and integrated systems, allowing users to build a modular “iMac” where the computer and display can be upgraded independently. This is the kind of gear that makes you want to redesign your entire desk around it.
Designer: Alogic
It’s clear that this stand is engineered, not just styled. The design features a robust metal construction that feels substantial enough to securely hold a high-end display, while the base has that specific slot tailor-made for the Mac mini’s chassis. Releasing in November 2025, it’s not an impulse buy, coming in at $329.99 in the United States, £249.99 in the UK, and €299.99 across Europe. For that price, you get a solution that finally gives the Mac mini a place of honor, integrating it into the centerpiece of your workspace instead of relegating it to a dusty corner. This is for people who obsess over the details of their setup and are willing to pay for a product that does the same.
The functional benefits here are just as compelling as the visual ones. The stand offers full ergonomic adjustment, including height, tilt, and pivot, allowing the monitor to be rotated into a full 90-degree portrait mode for coding or writing. This level of flexibility is critical for a professional tool. More importantly, it masterfully handles cable management. By positioning the Mac mini directly beneath the monitor, all the necessary connections for power, display, and peripherals can be routed cleanly through integrated channels in the stand’s arm, creating an incredibly tidy, almost cable-free appearance from the front. It directly addresses the primary drawback of using a Mac mini, which is the inevitable tangle of wires that undermines its minimalist form.
Of course, the Omni Fold Stand is designed to be paired with Alogic’s flagship Aspekt UHD 4K Docking Monitor, a 32-inch display that is a connectivity powerhouse in its own right. The monitor itself acts as a full-featured dock, delivering a massive 145W of USB-C power, enough to charge even the most demanding laptops. It also has a built-in gigabit Ethernet port and supports daisy-chaining, allowing you to link multiple monitors together from a single port on your computer. Offered in both touch and non-touch variants, the monitor is the final piece of the puzzle, turning the stand and a docked Mac mini into a truly streamlined and powerful single-cable workstation. The monitor becomes the brain for your peripherals, while the stand provides the elegant backbone holding it all together.
While the Omni Fold Stand was the star of the show for me, it was part of a much broader and more ambitious lineup Alogic revealed at IFA. The company also introduced a massive 40-inch Edge 5K ultrawide display for those who need an expansive digital canvas, and a super high-resolution 32-inch Clarity 6K Touch monitor aimed squarely at creative professionals. They even rolled out new peripheral lines, named Crux and Hush, to build out their ecosystem. Still, it’s the Omni Fold Stand that sticks in the mind. It’s a niche product, certainly, but it solves a long-standing problem for a dedicated community with such a perfect and well-executed solution that it’s hard not to be impressed.
