It's just an Amazon Basics one, it does the job!
Upgraded from my X230 to this beautiful machine 2 weeks ago and I have to say, it is a worthy successor.
It is running my two 1080p LG Monitors and Gigabit Ethernet over the USB-C Dock. The stand is this amazon basics stand for just 13€.
Its holding up great in my normal tasks, though thermal throttling needs to be adressed. When under consistent loads it comes in at about 1,8GHz. Other than that, no complaints.
I made this wallpaper myself

Congrats on a new desk and overall great setup, but here are a few quick thoughts.
Looks like this. I have this one though and it's really nice, for being so much cheaper. I was surprised how sturdy it is.
I use one of these, which allows me to tuck my SQ-1 under it.

It's this one right here.
It's super sturdy. It's a 1/8th of an inch thick metal sheet bent into a stand. Love it.
Amazon, Amazon, $20
It’s a Rain Design laptop stand. Until very recently I was a Mac guy. :) There’s a generic amazon version too that’s the same height and a little cheaper.
I like the angle and height it puts the laptop next to the monitor and like that the space under it is usable as well.
You should focus on the Graphics and Chipset drivers mainly, of course updating all te drivers once a year is always a good practice.
And as for the desk I can recomend you any of this 3 computer stands:
「Stand 1」 I use this one at home, it's a bit bulky, but it lets more air flow into the machine, you can even get a fan to blow some air into the bottom of the machine for better cooling.
「Stand 2」 I use this one at work, since it's al aluminium it helps to disperse the heat and I use no extra fan because my office has AC
「Stand 3」 I don't own this one, but it has a fan already built in and a USB hub wo you could use it as a docking station for your machine.
I used my Surface Pro for a hot minute as part of my regular lab workspace. (I have a 19-inch 1080p monitor, which is actually painful to look at these days...) I don't have a Surface Dock. Bluetooth keyboard, an old USB hub so I can plug in a wireless USB mouse receiver and anything else that I might need, and an HDMI-to-DisplayPort cable. I also put the Surface Pro on a laptop stand (this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WRDRRWW/ref=twister_B011KOHEXU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) so I could look at that one alongside my monitor.
It worked well after it got configured and scaled all correctly. Need to get a good mouse for it. (I used to have the Magic Trackpad 2 for my MacBook Pro, but I sold that and returned the Trackpad. That was magical, and so I think I want to get an Arc Mouse.) I no longer do that because I swapped my Surface Pro for a Surface Laptop (!), and have yet to integrate my Surface Laptop into that set-up. I'm curious what the advantage of having a $150 Surface Dock is? Ethernet? Dual monitors? I guess it doesn't fit my needs.
