Just cut a roughly 10 or 11 gauge sheet steel to the size of your laptop a cut out appropriate holes for ventilation if needed. I apply some adhesive velcro to both steel and laptop that way it is secure and can easily be removed. Figure out where you want it and build some brackets. If you have an older laptop that actually has recessed screws holding it together you can insert machine screws through bottom of your sheet steel to line with the holes of laptop. Mind you this takes some time to set up but worth it once you have it how you like. I have been running this setup for since 2013. For my tablet I use a cheap auto mount that I bolted to a piece of galvanized sheet steel using existing cab trim screws. Anything is possible if you put a little time into it!
