One of the benefits of owning an [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raycue-128k) iMac is that its integrated monitor and terminal make for more available space on your desktop. Meanwhile, the UBoard Smart Multiboard can provide you with even more.

The sleek-looking computer accessory incorporates a raised glass surface held in place by two flanking rectangular brackets. These supports are not satisfied to simply perform the one physical function, for they cleverly contribute to your hi-tech working experience. Three USB ports are located along the left side below a cantilevered iPod and [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-linestand) dock. On the right, the user is afforded the option of attaching a coffee cup holder to prevent any possible spilling. The UBoard Smart Multiboard is the ideal peripheral for raising your screen to eye-level or providing protection for your keyboard.
