Honestly for a laptop I'd prefer the following setup: An E-GPU enclosure, which is also the power supply, has an ethernet port, and provides some USB ports for any devices you always leave at the desk. You connect it to the laptop with a single thunderbolt power-delivery type-c cable. The monitor(s) are connected to the enclosure with type-c displayport with power delivery. Thus you have only a max of two cables connected to the wall: power cable for E-GPU dock and ethernet. This is fairly similar to that monitor concept except that the monitors docking station is broken out as a separate component.
