I got my work laptop and I got my personal laptop.

I got my work laptop and I got my personal laptop. Both nearly always in clamshell mode.
Any #LazyWeb folks got ideas for something like a mini-rack setup such that the laptops are in close proximity, but heat and cable chaos are addressed?
This is an obnoxiously frivolous thought, but we're talking Apple device workflows, where "obnoxious" and "frivolous" can be considered selling points.
NOTE: I do not own a 3D printer, and getting one would mean I now have new problems.

All else fails I might pick up a couple old school stacking inbox/outbox trays.

@randomgeek most spiffy solutions are basically just stacking trays like that. there are some vertical ones with integrated ports, etc etc. or you can spend a tenth the price for some stacked trays, maybe some spiffy hardwood ones from amazon

@randomgeek I would think a vertical file holder would be better. If you stack them one on top of the other the top one has to deal with heat from the other one as well as its own.

@sungo Yeah as I was rereading my followup it occurred to me that most of what I've seen are slightly tweaked trays or folder holders. Heck I might even have one of the latter floating around.

@randomgeek one idea would be https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vattenkar-laptop-monitor-stand-birch-80541565/, drill some holes in the mid shelf and affix some noctua fans to the back to force air through there since laptops in clam shell mode have troubles with heat.

@randomgeek biggest problem is weight, particularly for that chonky macbook pro that work requires

@randomgeek vertical mail sorting thingy. I manually swap the Thunderbolt cable between work and personal laptop, but a kvm would work too.

@sungo I just improvised something with a keyboard tray, using a couple small flat boxes as spacers (~1" gap). It works well enough – I or more accurately the cats have weight-tested the keyboard tray before. I know I want a safe persistent solution.
