Sometimes I wished my LG UltraFine 5K can do the same. It only works with my MacBooks (and my 2018 iPad - while I barely use it with the monitor since switching cable is needed). If I need to use my PC tower or Raspberry Pi, another monitor is needed.
I have been looking for this EXACT setup. Finally a company figured out that people use more than one computer, OS and gaming platform. We don't want 2 - 3 different monitors plus a tv.
Been using a setup just like this but with a PS4 instead, MacBooks (M1 chips) are one of the best all-around laptop out there (except for gaming) and having a desktop PC just for games & brute horsepower is awesome too. Definitely waiting for PS5 Pro instead.
@@Jf179_ yeah for work. Might as well game on Desktop since it’s very upgradable compared to a gaming laptop. The MacBook will satisfy all my other needs for a computer for years to come and it has definitely paid back its initial investment.
It's nice to see someone rocking a single monitor setup. I've been doing that as well. Single 27inch 4k monitor. Even my macbook is closed (docked) and I love it. Combined with the magic trackpad and virtual desktops it's everything I need! I sometimes get weird looks as a developer for using only 1 monitor instead of a gazillion haha
Thats exactly my setup. 27inch (5k) monitor, trackpad and virtual spaces. Occasionaly I will use ipad as second monitor for dragging and dropping things from finder to work windows
Forgive me if stupid question but with his setup is it as simple as you can close the laptop lid have it sat on the tray and use the monitor to use the laptop and use a dongle to switch the input between the laptop and your Xbox I’m looking at copying this setup (but without a pc as don’t own one)
Setup! Great video as usual. This is definitely a question I was trying to answer a few months ago when building a set up for my partner. Bookmarking for the future when I need to upgrade my monitors 🧐
Thanks for the setup. You wanted to find out who reaches the end, as well as, to position yourself for monitor setup for ps5, mac and PC. Fully deserved. Thanks for the setup :)
Never really considered the dual setup of a MacBook and a monitor as it looks quite klunky and not very neat but your setup changes my whole perspective on it.
Setup! I really love the idea of having a monitor that houses multiple usb c ports. I’ve been looking at many different ways to connect monitors together while having a dual setup. A gaming pc and a MacBook Pro 14 inch. Trying to conceptualize and purchase the right equipment has been daunting. It’s nice to know that products like these exist to help make the process easier for more people.
Awesome #setup! It maintains full functionality without extra embellishments, making it, in my opinion, the ultimate minimal desk setup on RU-vid. This is exactly the setup I've been searching for.
Setup! Appreciate the heads up as I'm definitely considering a workstation upgrade all around and haven't been much of a fan of keeping my laptops closed vs utilizing the extra screen real estate so this is perfect timing. Cheers!
Lovely video Oliur. Love the idea of a one cable setup for my macbook, would make cable management much easier! The monitor arm is gorgeous as well, especially for saving space. Probably something I will have to purchase in the near future.
Great setup - I currently have the same gear that needs to run through one monitor so will take some learnings from this! One Q: have you thought about getting a longer table top to cover the top of the alex drawers? just looking at IKEA now, you can get a white 'LAGKAPTEN' table top that is 20cm wider than your current top for £25 - this should cover the Alex drawer completely and just finish the clean look.
Eve looks amazing, might have to hold out for the glossy version. I recently switched to an external monitor with the MacBook from an iMac and all these matte screens are a hard adjustment… #setup
Thing is. I also wanted a monitor from them but it appears their consumer support is…a thing to say the least, and they have extremely lackluster support from a to z. I preferred going with lg on this one.
@@zaeinla yes. Go with the lg ergo stand. Either the one with type c on the back (its 4k 60hz) or the one with 1440p 144hz. Depending on how important smoothness/ gaming is for you. It comes with a desk clamp that can fit all the wiring inside and makes quite the clean desk.
SETUP! Absolutely phenomenal video, been a fan for a while and every video just gets better and better! Working at apple I can’t wait to get a 14inch once my big discount comes in!
Setup. Been loving my Eve spectrum aside from the tech specs, I got their monitor stand which has some of the cleanest and most fluid movement I’ve seen.
Setup 😎 have been looking for an example of this exact input + peripheral combo for weeks and finally stumbled on this. Awesome! Thanks for the great video
Such a sweet setup. My last desk setup had room for two full setups and was HUGE but I’m in a much smaller space so I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a new setup that’s a more efficient use of space and still aesthetic and functional. This hits all of those marks.
Dope video!! I was just thinking about a monitor that can do everything and then you post this! Looks like I know what new monitor I will be adding to my SETUP!
Amazing video, came across this video on my recommended and wow i must say amazing SETUP haha. didn't expect myself to sit through til the end. very insightful indeed :)
