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?

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

This was Thinkpad E14 Gen 2. It died not long after taking this photo though.

Looks nice!

That is very clean looking. I can never get my monitors to line up properly

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Dark side forever. Love it.

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

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I bought it under a "HAKNER" brand but I'm afraid this won't really help you because they just seem to be a Polish importer. When I posted this to reddit, someone actually found this: Jarvis Single Monitor Arm. I can't vouch for this because it's not where I bought it, but from the photos it looks identically, to the smallest detail.

You can tell from this far?

[-] FQQD@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

It's the default plasma wallpaper afaik

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah good catch!

[-] FQQD@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I love the thinkpad sitting right next to the other monitors

[-] buwho@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] sajran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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.
