If you would have done some research, you would have noticed that avaliable docking stations are supposed to lie on the desk, and that they do not offer mounting holes to be attached on walls. Docking stations only solve the problem you mentioned, so that all cables go out on the back, you still have to DIY the wall mounting and how you make all cables go into 1 cable tunnel. BTW, IMHO a wall mounted tablet looks ugly, I would hide it on the underside of the table, but that is just me.

    @@fiix7026 the fact that some model comes with an optional docking station, does not mean that model has all the ports on the back. On the contrary, every single Thinkpad I've had usually had ports on left and right, only maybe power port on the back. And if you've got the Thinkpad, it kind of defeats the purpuse of doing this, since they have very good and also slim options for docks, probably other manufacturers too.

    Not to criticize the mount, which is awesome by the way, but I haven't seen a laptop with ports on the back for the last 5-6 years, most of them instead have ports both on their left and right, which would require a different mounting system to take advantage of all of them.

    For older laptops, it's worth to check eBay for docking stations. These docking stations are made for this purpose and costs about the same thing as the materials (cables!) needed for this project without the glue-in-laptop risks. For newest laptops with USB-C, this is a non-problem as USB-C can be used for all the connectors and charger if you have the right type of hub.

    iSonikYT I'm not being helped out by that single USB-C port if I have an external monitor and the HDMI for that is on the opposite side of the laptop. Same goes for the power adapter plug, you can't simultaneously feed power back to the laptop through the USB-C and use it to transfer data back. So yea, that solves nothing at all, it just consolidates the data ports.

At least when it's just on your lap it doesn't look stupid and you don't waste any money. DIY Perks used to be a cool channel, but now he just uses extreme amounts of aluminum to make overpriced, unessecary and stupid projects that don't make any sense. Maybe 5% of them are at least worth it, but at what point does it turn from a DIY video about making cheap and easy solutions to problems into building all of your own hardware from scratch? Anyway, it was still a good video.

    Maybe create a slide in mechanism for the ports on both sides, No it won't be as seamless as a single direction slide in dock for all the ports in the back, but this might be the only other option since most laptop these day's come with ports on both sides. On the bright side you could use the port slide in mechanism as a lock mechanism to keep the laptop in place as well.

    You could mount it in "landscape" instead of "portrait," leave it open, and have a wall-mounted second monitor. (Or just use the laptop's own monitor and free up extra space on your desk.) Also, if you have to use two sets of ports on opposite sides, you can have one set of ports fixed (as in this video) and have the other set slide in from the other side once that one's in place.

    Just an Idea: I think one could make a universal dock that works with all laptops. You know those Aluminium rails used for drawers or doors. They could be used around the three sides where the laptop ports may be and the port could be configured such that they can be rolled on these rails and then be clip locked at the desired position. This would be much more difficult to design, But once done, in theory it would work with most laptops.

    One other note regarding the HDMI cable; make sure you don't use one with a locking mechanism (specially the cheap ones) as it will be an extra step to remove your computer. I use an Dell E-Port Plus II with 2 Displayport screens and a monitor stand. Saves a lot of space on my desk as well and the docking station is under my desk. A big plus is the serial and parallel port that comes with it. Keep on going with those DIY tutorials, I enjoy them :)
