So after several months of saving, accumulating, and upgrades, I finally have a setup that uses the core principles here! I'm happy to report that this plan works on both Mac and Linux machines. The only caveat is that, because of how UNIX works, you'll have to properly eject any external hard drives before unplugging the Thunderbolt cable. My solution -- and the next iteration on my setup -- will be to set up a NAS and connect it by either high-speed USB or ethernet (depending on which one has less hiccups). Oh, and it's also worth pointing out that, because of driver support shenanigans, any Mac setup can only use AMD graphics cards and Linux works better with Nvidia; you'll have to pre-plan which OS you'll run with. Then again, I'm probably the only person who has to think about this. Thanks for this video!

Tip: prep each surface of the I/O and desk with an alcohol wipe then use 3M command strips. Those things will hold anything. I've got 1 holding a 10lb power conditioner to a wall for 2yrs now. Also, closing the lid of a laptop and keeping it running will ruin the display over time. I've seen it and had it happen to many high end laptops when used as desk top replacements. The lid should remain open a few inches to allow space between the typically 60*c surface and the screen. Just simply have the laptop screen turn off when an external display is detected, much safer this way.

Instead of routing a cavity for the mouse mat just get a skin-style mat like the Razer Sphex or similar. Would look super clean.

[@zachscheunemann]

I would also say that an extended mouse pad is an option that should be considered. It would give the mouse something good to track on, but it would also be a good contrast to the bland desktop. It would keep the desk space nice and symmetrical compared to just a random square resting under the mouse and not the keyboard.

[@Janduin45]

@@samial-terkawihasib335 I've rocked my sphex for years now, and nothing is stuck anywhere on it. Even if it did, since it's so thin and also water resistant you can just wipe over it when wiping the table with a damp cloth. I don't see any reason to go back to a "normal" mouse mat, but I do realize it's not for everyone.

That M6800 was SO S - L - O - W that it could not play audio correctly out of its speakers. The i7 4900MQ operated at 0.79GHz. There was nothing I could do to get the CPU to run faster. There just was not enough power. I even did things like disable the MXM GPU in the BIOS, underclock the iGPU, and turn off the display. I just wanted just to play Spottily and could only do so thru the Bluetooth speakers. I could of tried the i5 I have but it was not worth the effort. Finally both battery did charge at 1% an hour one at a time. Edit - Oh. And I wouldn't put it past Dell and HP to pull a fast one just to up the margins on there lower end models.

6:04 it looks like they don't fit because the countersink is on the other side. Either the plate is mounted on the wrong side (should be the inner 90* not outer), or the factory counter-sunk the holes on the wrong side. Double-check assembly instructions, if it's correct then try using a step bit to make your own countersink on the right side.
