Use Velcro to Turn Your Laptop Into a Dock for Hard Drive,Power Brick,etc.

When using your notebook, you often connect it to a portable hard drive, the power adapter, a USB hub, and various other peripherals. And when you have to move even slightly, you have to gather all those peripherals and their cable-clutter. Use Velcro or any hook-and-loop fastener on the back of your laptop's screen, and stick the devices to it.



Essentially, you'll need:
1) Adhesive-backed Velcro or other hook-and-loop fastener. 
2) Rubbing alcohol.
3) Paper towels or a rag.
4) Scissors, if you're using the Velcro Sticky Back roll.

What To Do:

1) First, clean the back of your laptop screen. Use rubbing alcohol on paper towels or a rag and really get it spotless. Then, do the same on the device you are planning to stick on your laptop.
2) Stick the Velcro onto the back of the laptop. Keep a little distance between two lines or coins.
3) Stick the other part of the Velcro on your gadget. The heavier the gadget, the more Velcro it needs.
4) You're done! With a roll, the smart way to stick a gadget onto your laptop's back is across the lines, rather than aligned together. With coins, they will need to align perfectly.

The trick works with USB hubs and hard drives, and should actually work with anything else you want to stick there either. Just make sure it's nothing too heavy because your laptop's screen unit might not be able to handle a lot of weight.
