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.

whoops. my laptop has connectors along both the sides (power, ethernet, 2x USB 3 on the left, HDMI, Thunderbolt 3, 1x USB 3 on the right)

just use a thunderbolt 3 dock if your laptop supports charging over the TB3 port

Haha I bet he does and I bet he created a few messed up docks before making this perfect one.

The ports on my laptop are on the left and right side. :(

You can make a sliding mechanism that clips from the left and right thus connecting the jacks, a bit more complex, but could work 100%.

You could always make a variant where you favor one side, if the other side are just USB extensions for example. This video should be basically inspirational, it much depends on whether a docking station would be cumbersome or not in you case. But it sure gets the creative juices flowing :-)

Well well well. Was looking for exact thing. I want to use my laptops screen in portrait mode. And here I found it.

Amazing Idea! I rebuilt it with some changes. I built it to slide in my Notebook vertical and put the cables at the bottom. Because of the ports position i had to put the Power supply in the opposite side. Some work but its working as well. Oh an i bent some aluminium stripes around the sides (except the fan) for a sleek look. Took a wile but i love my tidy desk!
