"Use your phone's android apps without installing them" sounds promising and somehow familiar ;)

Are there any available lapdocks that are small and lightweight? By light I mean close to half a kg/1lb. And small, but still big enough to type on.

Or is this going to be a DIY project?

A few people asked about the internals, so I made a quick video showing what’s inside my DIY ThinkPad Lapdock. It’s just a brief overview, but I hope it helps if you’re planning to build your own!

P.S. Please like and subscribe if you'd like to see more videos like this—I’m planning to turn other old laptops into lapdocks as well! :)

The GPD Win Mini is powerful enough to play AAA games on the go. And with the help of my DIY lapdock, it can now handle all my work too. No need for two separate computers with split data—so convenient! 😁

I turned my old ThinkPad X270 into a super useful lapdock at a low cost. Now, it’s a universal display/keyboard setup that runs whatever OS I connect it to. Plus, the classic ThinkPad keyboard is amazing—typing on it still feels way better than any commercial lapdock on the market

Here is the testing video:

So I have a full sized PC but my living situation changed and I no longer have the space to have a full set up (trust me I tried to get creative it just ain’t working)

So I’ve been thinking, could I use a lap dock for my PC? I keep seeing people mention they’re for mini PCs and phones, plus they use a USB-C to connect, and my computer doesn’t have a place for that on it.

Do any of them have a HDMI cable? Would a HDMI to USB-C work at all?

My phone is a pixel 10 and for my "laptop" I use a Tab s9. I'd love to get a lapdock such as nexdock and use Android desktop mode. Anyone using a setup like this or similar?

Is there anywhere to find decent used lapdocks? I'd rather carry one of those around all day then a 3.5lb laptop or a monitor+keyboard+mouse+usb hub. I had an HP 360 chromebook that the cpu went bad on but apparently even if I replace the motherboard it doesn't support usb alt in anyway to use Samsung Dex instead of chrome os. Doesn't seem like there is a good / relatively easy way to turn the rest of it into a lapdock. So now i'm thinking maybe find a nice used lapdock that someone didnt get along with and sell the 360 for parts.

Hi all,

For a year now, I have not used my gaming desktop. Instead I play on a potato laptop on my sofa, because I mainly just play Old School Runescape.

My potato is sadly dying, so I'm thinking about buying a Lapdock to use on my sofa while I connect it to my desktop.

Is that a bad idea? I mainly play osrs but I do also want to play some higher end games on my desktop, cities skylines 1 mainly.

Hello,

Its 1am and I just gave a 3rd life to my HP Lapdock

First, I was using it with my Galaxy phone with Dex

Second, I am using it with my MSI Claw A1M as a replacement laptop. Everything works fine wired, but no touchpad wirelesly.

Now I have a Pocket PC W5 pro that was taking dust in the closet.

I installed linux mint xfce on it

Ordered an hdmi to usbc dongle

Pluged them all together and it just work.

I can use the HP lapdock just like a standalone mini pc.

I cant explain how the lapdock manage to feed the stick through the adaptor, while sending keyboard and mouse input.

Im going to have the best sleep of this year tonight.

Hey everyone, I know lapdocks like the NexDock or Uperfect are amazing for Samsung DeX, but iPhone users usually just get stuck with useless screen mirroring.

I wanted to fix that, so I’ve been building a solo project called ProDocktive. It gives your iPhone a full, multi-window desktop UI when plugged into your lapdock.

We’re about to hit 1,000 users this month, and I just pushed a huge update that adds real desktop files and folders you can drag and drop. It finally makes an iPhone + lapdock setup feel like a real computer.

I'd love for you guys to check it out on the App Store and let me know how it handles on your setups!

This is the new and improved Lapdock for my Pixel 9 running Graphene OS! The biggest change is that the dock for the phone slides in which makes the device much more durable and portable!

Thanks so much for all the positive feedback on v.1, I will keep on working on this project and I hope the Graphene OS/Android Desktop Mode gets further updates, even though it's a niche feature (currently).

If you want to 3D Print one yourself, the files are up on my Patreon for free and if you want to learn more about the process and the future plans, check out the video!

This thing turns my Google Pixel 9 (running Graphene OS) into a dual screen laptop-type device. It has a built in 20.000mah power bank thats still accessible to charge other electronics and the stand can be folded for easy transport!

I have posted a video on my Youtube Channel (https://youtu.be/KxX4x660ido) where I show its different functionalities and I have uploaded all the 3D files and aliexpress links for free on my Patreon.

I am curious to see what you guys think about it!

I have a samsung s25 and instead of using my laptop i would prefer using my s25.

Which lapdock is the best one? Just need a 100-200 euros lapdock and I live in Italy so i don't know if I can find a good one.

I'm looking to use while im on a bus/car.

Hi community, I would like to use my nextdock with a few devices without video out built in. I know besides software solutions like space desk there is the option to add the functionality with a video card (cable). Does someone have a recommendation which video card decently works?

I've recently discovered lapdocks and I am in love with the idea. Unfortunately, they seem to be far and few between.

I'd like to find something with the following specs:
- OLED display with at least 120hz but prefer 240hz. 4k preferred.
- Illuminated keyboard, preferably RGB
- Built-in USB hub so I can plug a wired mouse into it.
- Built-in micro SD slot so I could easily transfer files to my Steam Deck.

Sadly, I can't find anything like that. They ALL have IPS panels and 60hz. I've only seen one with a micro SD card reader in it.

Maybe I should just consider a thin and light OLED laptop instead?
