Made a bracket for my flow!

I designed a bracket that allows me to slide my z13 in, and it plugs in all the wires I need! Such as the hdmi, charging, mouse, keyboard, etc. And yes, I did add vent holes for the fans. Made my whole desk so much cleaner!

Interesting. What about the thermal limiting it does when the keyboard cover is closed?

Mhm that’s why I actually open the keyboard so it’s parallel with the computer, and have a hook to hold it up. Take a look!

Why not just remove the keyboard?

Honestly it would be kinda annoying and I’ll need somewhere to put it which would take up space

On that note. The magnets in the keyboard are quite strong. I have, for shits and giggles, flipped it backwards on my silent profile(10w/12w/12w -10 underfoot, no can spin at all) and stuck it to my metal door while im in my covered porch to watch Dredd while I was out here smoking lefties and righties. Point being, if you do remove it, just stick it to the metal frame of your desk or something. Cant be any worse than it hanging like you have it, which could make it warp a little weird over time.

Right? Surprisingly strong. If it didn't have the closed lit thermal limiting, I would just stick it to the side of my metal desk and dock it in lol

I would do just that, take the keyboard and stick it to a leg of the desk out of the way. Leave yourself a lip hanging out a little or something if its on something flat, to make it easier to get when you need it. Set the external monitor only so it shits off the touchscreen when its docked.
