I think the dock is a great accessory for a desk setup. It also makes it easier to plug the mac to the whole setup, since it can be plugged by a single cable.

Anker Chargers just can’t be beat. I have several of them and you’re right, they’re better than the standard charger that comes with my MacBook itself. As far as keyboard, I prefer the MX keys, full-size mechanical keyboard, because I do use the number pad quite a bit but for travel, I have the logitech K3 80 keyboard and it’s great.

@120DEA Год назад

Thanks for the suggestions! My top pick is most definitely the Logitech MX Keys. I love this device! Switching between the three devices is super fast and the sensors that turn on the backlights when your hands approach the keyboard (before you even touch) are great. Definitely worth the investment!!

@Christomshack Год назад

Love it! Do you have the full size or mini? I prefer the mini and just bought the mechanical mini to test for awhile

@120DEA Год назад

@@Christomshack I have the full size. It’s no gaming keyboard obviously but the clicks are just fine for daily use; quiet and feel fine. And the battery life is actually pretty great. I rarely get a low battery alert but I can tell it’s getting low when the backlights don’t come on until I actually touch a key. So, I just pop in the spare USB C cable that I keep on the desk. Combined with the Logi MX Ergo trackball wireless (with the extra tilt pad) and an Apple trackpad, and it’s a pretty close to perfect setup for office and creative work.

@micleh Год назад

Nice chalkboard analogy for SSD wear. I know that for the sake of brevity and reduction of complexity, certain explanations had to be left out, but to explain swap, I think memory pressure (0:33) is crucial. I have a couple of questions on your video: What was your SSD wear after 1 1/2 years of heavy use (03:46)? Is there an option in macOS to adjust swap behavior? In Linux, a low value for vm.swappiness forces to OS to swap late. Do you try to redirect writes from your internal SSD to an external one? Can you control unnecessary SSD writes? In Linux e.g., you can use 'noatime' for mounted devices. Can you mount an external drive as your home folder?
