Might want something like this this
There are a couple versions. When I build my new desk/workbench I’ll be getting one for my other laptop.
thanks thats helpful. I think i may get these and a proper arm and find a good way to set it up. right now i have this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FOTABWY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which works but could be a LOT better/more movable
If you can manage spending another 100-150ish. you can get a stand that holds both the monitor and the laptop. That way, you CAN have space to have the larger monitor front and center with the laptop on the side as your 2nd screen. I left pc gaming a year ago, but recently came back due to all the covid/work from home stuff. Im currently using a mount like I described which is mounted on one of those 4' folding plastic tables. Only modification I made to the setup was grab a small scrap piece of wood to brace the table where the mount clips on the plastic table for rigidity.
EDIT: Actually, googling the type of mount that Im referring to..is currently only $60 on amazon Monitor/Laptop mount
