Sums up my mother's sculptures, or my kids' drawings.

If it serves the artist, it served a purpose.

Personally, I have an aluminium laptop stand which makes the laptop dockable but which isn't portable or makes screen/keyboard usable (secure for cats though) and I have a portable, foldable, lightweight plastic one [1].

I also do not enjoy the idea of using the bottom of a laptop on concrete. The latter material isn't nice for scratches (and every time it is put or leaves concrete is a potential mark).

So in this case, I believe a second monitor (or larger primary one) plus a vertical laptop stand would fit in the shown office.
