Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/485,063, titled “DUAL AUXILIARY DISPLAYS,” filed on Feb. 15, 2023, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY The disclosure relates to computer monitors in general, and more particularly, to auxiliary laptop monitors. SUMMARY Aspects and embodiments disclosed herein relate to an auxiliary display system, the system comprising a first auxiliary monitor, a second auxiliary monitor, and at least one guiding block slidably coupled to the first auxiliary monitor and the second auxiliary monitor and being configured to be coupled to a primary computer. In various examples, the system includes a first mount slidably coupled to the first auxiliary monitor and slidably coupled to the at least one guiding block. In at least one example, the guiding block includes an opening slidably coupled to the first mount. In some examples, the first mount includes a flanged protrusion slidably coupled to the opening of the at least one guiding block. In various examples, the system includes a second mount slidably coupled to the second auxiliary monitor and slidably coupled to the at least one guiding block. In at least one example, the at least one guiding block includes a flanged guiding block protrusion slidably coupled to the second mount. In some examples, the first mount includes a first mount opening slidably coupled to the first auxiliary monitor. In various examples, the first mount includes a first mount opening protrusion defining the first mount opening and being slidably coupled to the first auxiliary monitor. In at least one example, the first auxiliary monitor includes a first flanged monitor protrusion within the first mount opening and being slidably coupled to the first mount opening protrusion. In some examples, the second mount includes a rail opening slidably coupled to the flanged guiding block protrusion. In various examples, the system includes a second mount slidably coupled to the second auxiliary monitor and slidably coupled to the at least one guiding block. In at least one example, the at least one guiding block includes a flanged guiding block protrusion slidably coupled to the second mount. In some examples, the second mount includes a rail opening slidably coupled to the flanged guiding block protrusion. In various examples, the second mount includes a second mount opening protrusion defining the second mount opening and being slidably coupled to the second auxiliary monitor. In at least one example, the second auxiliary monitor includes a second flanged monitor protrusion within the second mount opening and being slidably coupled to the second mount opening protrusion. According to at least one aspect of the disclosure, a guiding-block system is provided comprising a backplane configured to be coupled to a laptop computer, and a guiding block coupled to the backplane and being configured to be slidably coupled to a first auxiliary monitor and a second auxiliary monitor. In some examples, the guiding block includes an opening configured to receive at least a portion of the first auxiliary monitor. In various examples, the guiding block includes at least one guiding block protrusion defining the opening and being configured to be slidably coupled to the at least the portion of the first auxiliary monitor. In at least one example, the guiding block includes a flanged protrusion configured to be slidably coupled to the second auxiliary monitor. In some examples, the flanged protrusion is configured to slide within an opening of the second auxiliary monitor, and wherein the flanged protrusion is configured to be slidably coupled to at least one protrusion defining the opening of the second auxiliary monitor.
