Monoprice Laptop Holder Attachment for Desk Mounts - Ideal for Work, Home, Office Laptops, Black - Workstream Collection...

Let me start out by saying that I do not use this product as intended now, but I did initially and it was and is worth every penny! I have a small desk space with a multi monitor set up and the only thing the laptop is used for is accessing the server for work and video conference calls. I do not need my laptop taking up desk space or being in the way and this serves that function for me perfectly. I initially had it installed on the desk stand as intended which made it perfect for just swinging the laptop out of my way unless I needed it. I have since added another monitor to my set up and needed the space on the desk stand that was being taken up by the laptop attachment. No worries though, I found a way to adapt the attachment to mount it on the side of my desk and now my laptop literally hangs on the side of my desk completely out of the way and when I need it, I just slide it right out of the laptop holder and slide it right back in when I'm done. Moral of the story, whether you use it as directed or find another creative (at your own risk) way to use it, it's great. I love it!.

I purchased this laptop holder to mount my 2021 Lenovo Legion 5 on my WALI MF003 Triple Monitor Stand. It does hold my laptop securely when the side clips are closed, but I usually leave mine open since I don't keep my laptop at a very steep angle. My laptop is a little on the heavy side at around 5.5 lbs and due to this it can cause the stand to tilt down when placed on the stand despite having the bolts on my monitor arm super tight. It also caused the VESA mount on my monitor arm to bend a bit due to all the leverage on it. Overall it does work pretty well just keep it in mind if you have a heavier laptop it will be a bit on the flimsy side.

I picked this up to take up the third space on my 3-monitor home office setup, to keep my laptop off the desk. I figured this way I could also use it as a 3rd monitor, and get rid of the free-floating webcam using one of my USB slots. This is a nice, solidly built laptop attachment. The VESA hardware is completely standard, so you know it'll fit where you want it to. It comes with 2 options for how you want your laptop to sit, flat or in a more "standing" position. The powder coating will keep it from getting scratched or dinged up. For the price, it's hard to beat.

I'm very happy with this laptop tray. I was specifically looking for a tray that had something to secure the laptop so it wouldn't fall off. I saw a lot of vesa mount trays that were basically just a metal tray, with no way to secure the laptop from falling off. This laptop tray has two clips on the side which adjust vertically and horizontally. The vertical adjustment makes it so that you can place the clips in a place that does not block your input ports and the horizontal adjustment makes it so that you can hold a larger or smaller laptop, the horizontal adjustment also has locks so that your laptop is not loose.

The laptop tray has two mounting points where you can attach a VESA mounting bracket; one on the bottom of the tray, and the other at the rear (which is slightly angled). I've attached mine to the rear of the tray, and I'm not sure what would be the reason for choosing one over the other. Maybe the bottom mounting point is meant for mounts attached to a vertical surface, like a wall, while the rear point is for a horizontal surface, like a desk. Each of the mounting points has two holes that will fit a VESA 100x100 mounting bracket, as well as two holes for a 75x75 bracket. If your mounting bracket has holes for both 100mm and 75mm, as most that I have seen do, then you will be able to attach the tray with four screws. Otherwise, you will only be able to attach it with two screws, which probably won't be a problem since most laptops are a lot lighter than the monitors/TVs that the brackets and mounts are made to handle. The stand-offs at the bottom of the tray, that are meant to prevent your laptop from sliding off, are 7/8th of an inch tall (0.825 inches). The brackets to stop the laptop from sliding off the sides can move along the longest ventilation slot, so you can place them at a spot that doesn't cover up any ports on your laptop. I am using the tray with my Alienware 15m laptop, and it works very well with it. Maybe the standoff's could be just a little bit taller, but it's not that big a deal. The brackets on the side also help to keep the laptop from sliding off the bottom.
