Screen rotation with multiple monitors, screen mirroring, and cooling on yoga devices
Short version:
- When you have a monitor mirror your laptop, how do you have them have inverted orientation relative to each other?
I connect my thinkpad yoga to a monitor
There are two landscape ways to view the thinkpad yoga.
I prefer the one with the hinge facing away from me. Why? Because the hinge seems to be where the heat comes out, and I can direct my fan directly to the heat. This is the opposite of the landscape orientation you would get from using the yoga in clampshell mode. So it is essentially inverted landscape mode.
Doing this type of screen mirroring and screen mirroring simultaneously results in the laptop display being upside down.
Are there any work arounds to this? I find that my thinkpad yoga runs pretty hot. I won't be using a cooling pad because it cannot be tilted, which is the way that I use the thinkpad yoga.
Why not just screen extend? That's what I'm doing now, but I prefer mirroring because I can pinch to zoom on my tablet and control the big monitor in front of my face. There is also something that's just fantastic about having inking mirror'd on a big screen in front of you. Difficult to explain, but basically I don't have to look at a small computer screen whenever I want to paste something into onenote and it is just smoother.
And yeah, I'll try to tax the system less to use up less heat in the first place and yeah I know broadwell might just entirely fix this b/c less heat -> don't care about orienting the laptop this fancy way -> problem solved, but I still want to know the answer to this question.
Maybe the answer is as easy as a very very stable tiltable cooling pad that you can still draw on the thinkpad yoga while it is somehow secured to the cooling pad? Maybe a tiltable cooling beanie bag?
