These are a series of small projects meant to eventually come together for a final project. In essence, I am planning to design a half-[[lapdock]] meant for portable PCs, gaming consoles, and Android phones with desktop environments.

	Why? For me, none of the lapdocks available have 120hz ''and'' OLED, but I incidentally own a random laptop that in fact supports these both. Lapdocks (or really, any keyboard with IO) is a much sleeker solution for modular microcomputing compared to lugging around a separate dock, keyboard, and display. Here, two (and up to three) of these items can be combined while still maintaining modularity and portability. It's also a fun electrical engineering project that can help build reputation, but will also ultimately finalise my Legion Go and Samsung DeX workflow, as well as making it much easier to manage. I genuinely cannot wait until this project completes.		Why? For me, none of the lapdocks available have 120hz ''and'' OLED, but I incidentally own a random laptop that in fact supports these both.
