Posted this to reddit some time back, reposting here because I want to contribute some content and help lemmy gain popularity.

I hope that in a few weeks I will be posting an updated version of the setup with the laptop replaced by a third monitor and a few other modifications.

    Beautiful, clean setup. What model of Thinkpad do you use?

    which type of mount do you use for your laptop? i have been wanting to get something to hold my laptop like that for better cooling, but dunno what to get.

      It’s pretty much just a metal plate with some holes, I wouldn’t worry to much about it.

      For me, it was surprisingly hard to find one with the correct dimensions and color (white). After quite a lot of searching I just bought the only one I found matching the criteria. It was called “PureMounts PM-ADAPT-A” on Amazon. It attaches to the monitor arm through a VESA mount.

    Those monitor arms look clean AF, what model are those?

      Thanks!

      Yup, aligning the monitors became my obsession after completing this setup. Now I actually have the right monitor rotated to vertical position. This is both more comfortable for me and it makes little misalignments less visible so I don’t have to adjust it all the time.

    I love the thinkpad sitting right next to the other monitors
