| < Previous cardboard idea | |
My mum bought one of those cheap Apple Universal Dock knockoffs while she was in Hong Kong... I didn't actually want one, but hey, when it fits right and works great, you can't possibly turn it down (it has 3.5mm Line Out, standard 30-pin connector and S-Video, which I haven't tested yet)
You can see the mess of cables in the lower right corner... ugh.
And here's the 4th part in my DIY thing - yes, my little "table" was something I made because I needed more room and I got a keyboard, for my now mostly desk-bound laptop. I couldn't afford to get another monitor (plus 15.4" is plenty!), so I made this in about 3/4 of an hour (mostly because I used a handsaw)
I plan to get a 80mm fan installed underneath it. Maybe even make one for my cousin's ultra-hot MacBook. Those things heat up like a frying pan!

Instead of laying flat down on the deskstand, you can add a bumper at the back of the laptop so it has gap below the laptop for airflow and that should be sufficient.
