01 / SUPPORT

The duct is the backrest.

Two profiled end seats carry the hinge-down laptop. Its lid leans 5° onto the plenum wall through thin replaceable liners. Low end lips guide lowering; the underside stays open.

02 / PORTS

Left on the keyboard. Right in this view.

Both Thunderbolt 4 ports belong on the keyboard-left edge. With the hinge down and lid facing you, that edge appears on your right. The opposite USB-C port is USB 3.2 / DisplayPort. The model and docking motion now preserve that orientation.

03 / ADJUSTMENT

One cassette. Two locks.

A removable cap holds the original Dell plug. A shim stack sets height; broad mounting slots allow lateral and depth calibration. The separate chassis stop limits travel. Two 120 mm fans discharge 18° upward.
