Hello reader, I made a helluva rookie mistake of initially posting this on the "Images & Video" tab sans text and unfortunately my lengthy writeup was wiped from the "Text" tab 😵 I've since recollected my thoughts so here's take two.

If you're still on the fence about setting up both laptop and the v10 cooling pad on a mounted laptop tray (gasp!), then this post is for you! Here are some personal notes and observations on the current configuration:

1. The metal VESA tray measures at 305 mm x 254 mm and includes two hardly audible 5V fans.
2. The arm holds up to 9 kg, with both laptop and cooling pad weighing at +/- 4.2 kg.
3. The lower tray lip is only 15 mm, so for added measure I've added binder clips to prevent both the v10 and ...my Precious... from plummeting into the fiery depths of Mount Doom.
4. There's a small gap between the tray and the v10, providing proper airflow to the cooling pad's fan.
5. To my pleasant surprise, the laptop’s long foot pad lines up perfectly along the v10’s upper sealing foam (see pic).
6. The seal is also maintained on the opposite end where the laptop rests against the v10's flip tabs.
7. When not gaming, the laptop runs in quiet mode and is connected to an external monitor at 144Hz, with HDR enabled via DP. The v10 is set to 1000 rpm with a faint hum.
8. Average temps from HWiNFO in this environment are as follows:
   • CPU Core 41°C
   • CPU Package 44°C
   • dGPU 38°C
   • iGPU 38°C

Overall, I'm happy with the v10 with the sealing foam making all the difference. I hope you'll find this useful and feel free to comment or question.

TL;DR it just works!

Here's a transparent map, followed by an opaque version.
