I love my M3, but it has been frustrating to have the computer just sitting on the edge of it. The computer is just wide enough that when you open the lid, the lid wants to knock it onto the floor. I knew I needed to make some space for the computer to hang out nearby.

My solution: install a keyboard stand attached directly to the machine. I drilled a hole and mounted a commercial stand. I used the Vevor mag drill again. The best place to do it went right through a warning sticker with some…creative…spelling.

The hole for the stand, drilled through the top of the machine.

I still need to find a way to extend it a little so there's room for a mouse, and there's some cable routing to do. But I'm already quite happy with it compared to the prior precarious arrangement.
