When not in use will laptop swing out of way? Also what is the min & max thickness of the desk that the clamp will work in.

Yes, it will swing in and articulate in many directions to include; out of the way.It will clamp onto a surface from 0" to 3 1/2".I'm using mine in my tool room to reply to your question. When I'm done I will swing this out of the way to use my bench. :)

Yes you can make it swing out of the way. I would measure it but the back is inaccessible since I have installed it on my workstation. It will take a pretty thick desk to make it unusable. Any normal desk should be fine. minimum thickness is whatever you want providing the desk is capable of holding the weight. It is basically a C- clamp. Hope this helps.

yes it will swing out of the way, i did not used the clamp i used screws to hold it in place for the base i used was movil and the computer base could loosen and fall

Um, no, Jeffrey. As you can see, this 4-monitor stand has a 2-screw clamp. The inner sides of the clamp (which is about 4x4 inches) are padded to avoid damage to the desk. If you do buy this item, make sure your desktop is at least 1 3/4 inches thick. The monitor stand is not that heavy, but having four monitors will make it moderately heavy. So, if you're relying on cheap furniture like particleboard, forget it, as you'll risk cracking and breaking a chunk off your desk and dropping the monitors in the process. By the way, this stand is one of the best things I've ever bought.

Using it over the edge of my desk so that I do not need an extra keyboard, I get a full 3" from desk to bottom of my 17" HP Laptop. It puts my monitor right in line with my eyes so I can keep my head in a fully neutral position (necessary due to a disability).

I can only tell you based on my experience. My table is not a flat all across the bottom, like a kitchen table type. It's an end table, with a drawer, meaning it has wood dropping down about 4" all around it, with a lip coming out 1-1/2" from that. My problem was the clamp, while the lip section is only 1" thick, and I'm sure 3/4" thick would be fine, tightening the clamp wasn't possible with the drop down section, so we literally had to cut it out, the just 4" width of the clamp as a whole, to allow for tightening the clamp down to an inch, so the table minus the laptop holder would be useless now, as it's missing a large section of wood on the side. With it, no one can tell a section was cut out. The other problem is the weight. This is very very heavy, as before cutting the end table, I first tried a small flat top table, but it was so light weight, that the laptop table holder itself made it fall over sideways, without even adding the computer. You'd have to put a counter weight of some type on the opposite side, but mine was too small for that. If I could have counter-weighted a larger flat table with a heavy lamp or something, an inch thick would have worked fine. Just be weary of how heavy it is, since it's made of thick metal and quite heavy (the specs probably show the total weight). After working out how to install it though, I have to say I love it! It's great to swing towards me when I want the computer, and back away from me when I'm done.

yes, but you have to have sufficient overhang for the clamp to seat properly. I had to cut a hole in the side of the desk (no prob fort me because the desk was against a wall) to allow the clamp to seat correctly.

The top part of the desk extends 1.5" out over rear vertical support. I've got a couple things clamped, but not a monitor stand..not sure how much space they need to clamp on to.

It might be a tight fit, I measured mine at 21 1/2 inches, you might have to let the laptop hang over the edge a bit. I really like the desk.

Ideally you want a 2" lip, although you can mount it with 1.5". The diameter of the clamp is just under 1.5". You can mount it on the front or side of the desk. I have mine mounted on the front of a computer tray table. It swivels nicely under the table when not in use (mouse and all).

The clamp has an adjustable back plate that should accommodate a 2 3/4 desk. I measured the back plate and it 4 1/2 long. During installation you just mound the screw plate to the set of hole in the back plate that is the best fit for you desk thickness and then just tighten down the thumb bolts.

I'm not sure using this with glass would be a good idea, even on thick glass with two monitors it is pretty heavy. Unless the desk has a metal bar within depth of the clamp to take the weight then i wouldn't try it.

The lip on the back of my desk is 2 1/8", and it was a close call. 2" would probably work but the mount will not slide completely flush. And you may scrape your knuckles tightening it down. The mount is adjustable for a very wide range of thicknesses, you'll want to use the shortest of the three choices. My desk is 1 1/2" thick - at 3/4" I'd want to be sure the material it's made out of can take the weight. Unless your desk has a flimsy top, it should work fine.

You can adjust the width, but the stability of that extra width is dependent upon what you are putting on it. For a laptop or something heavier and delicate like that you wouldn't want to slide it out too far. It can extend from 17" to about 25". The more you pull it to the side to extend it, you can kind off offset the balance of weight over the legs. When I used it with my netbook, which is super tiny, I could extend it more to the right and use a mouse with it or put something like a paper on the right extended side, but I haven't really extended it when using my full size laptop. I think it would be fine as long as you keep the laptop where it is balanced and put something lightweight over the extended part. I still love it and think it's awesome!

the screw itself is 2 inches from the edge of my desk, the actual flat clamp is about 2.5 inches from the edge if that helps at all

After measuring my mount, 2.25" is needed for the back to be fully flush with the desk. The clamps are pretty sturdy though, so if you tighten them enough, I don't foresee any issues with stability. Regarding thickness, my desk is also about that thick, but it's solid wood so I feel comfortable with it. Physically, the mount will be able to clamp onto the desk, but it's up to you to decide if the material of the desk is strong enough to support the setup.

With the legs fully extended it will raise your laptop 13 inches. I would get out a ruler and see if 13 inches from your current desk top will raise it high enough...probably not without you slouching. And yes it is flimsy. I only use it while laying in bed, for that it works fine.

Depending on the thickness of the docking station, as well as if your docking station has the ability to lock into the laptop or secure it together. I have three total Ergotron Notebook trays. One if them I do have a docking station and laptop on. In my case, my laptop actually locks into my docking station. My docking station is 3/4" thick, which the angled cleat is 1-1/4" thick which rises above both my docking station and laptop. I would say if the total thickness (height) of your docking station with laptop is higher than 1-1/4" then I would put additional shelf liner or non slip material. The mount does come with non-slip strips which work extremely well.
