@JA_Everything 3 месяца назад

Hey Kyle, great job on the setup. I have just one question, why connect your display directly to the MacBook and not through the TS4?

@andyj2106 3 месяца назад

Nice video. I'm thinking of doing the same by consolidating a 2019 iMac 5K and 2020 MacBook Pro into one MacBook Pro M3 14inch as you have. The only query I have really is with your external SSD plugged in to the TB dock (actually, for the question it doesn't matter where it's plugged in) when you go on the road and disconnect the monitor and dock, doesn't MacOS throw errors about the disappering external drive (disconnecting improperly)?

Do you have recommendations regarding lighting? In my home office i have a ceiling fan with 3 downward lights. It currently has 3 3000 K bulbs which seem not not interact well with my 24" imac monitor. Someone has suggested I try 4000K or 4500 k bulbs which would be a more "natural" light. I've also considered getting a desk lamp. Do you have any recommendations or thoughts?

I don't use AppleID, but I'm using a Nuphy Air 96 keyboard. Comes with the numb pad and isn't as wide as the full Magiv Keyboard. And the typing experience is phenomenal. I've also got the whiter Logitech MX MAster 3s Mouse and definitely have that yellowing. I've been cleaning the mouse very frequently but that doesn't seem to help. I might be replacing it with a graphite one eventually, I think..

@vlahos2302 3 месяца назад

I see you use CalDigit TS4, do you also have a problem with monitor resolution after going to sleep mode and wake up? CalDigit support recommend to wake up with macbook internal keyboard, no external, otherwise monitor will have a problem to restore resolution. Do you have any other expirience with it?

Thanks Kyle for this awesome desktop desk setup video.👍 Coming to the point, I am looking at moving to Apple Silicon for the following tasks: 1. Editing 4K RU-vid and CapCut like videos using FCPX and/or Resolve 2. Playing 'in browser' or standalone Web3 games, occasionally. 3. Editing audio for my Podcasts. From the link provided by you in the description above, it looks like the MacBook M3 Pro you are using has the following configuration: 12-core CPU 18-core GPU 18GB Unified Memory 1TB SSD Storage Do you think the above configuration should be enough for the tasks I intend to do?

Should we get that for $2000 or M3 pro laptop should work well? and will base model Studio do all the job if using 4k 10bit video editing work flow (Sony a7siii)? Will 32gb RAM and 512gb Storage suffice (apps, Premiere, After effects, photoshop, Lightroom & illustrator)?

@lion123z 4 месяца назад

Hey Kyle! Loved the setup. I’m wondering if you’ve run into any limitations with the M3 pro when it comes to video editing? Slowness, increased rendering times, etc I am trying to decide between the M3 max and M3 Pro but want to make sure I’m setting myself up for success. I know there are two media encoding engines on Max instead of 1 on the Pro. With all that you do, I’d appreciate the insight since you seem to push the limits on capability.

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

While editing I don't find a ton of difference at all, just a bit slower when rendering out a video is all vs my old M2 Max

@teh_hunterer 4 месяца назад

I was wondering, would you be able to plug just one TB cable from the MacBook into the CalDigit dock, and plug the Studio Display into one of the CalDigit's downstream TB ports? Then you only need one single cable going into the MacBook. Or is there not enough bandwidth for that?

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

should be able to, I just like having that port open if I need to hook up another drive or something.

hi, one question. If you use your macbook as a desktop, how do you turn it on? Do you need to open the macbook, press the on btn and close it again or is there any other, more enjoyable way like an on/off button on dock station ? Thanks for the answer

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

I don't turn it off, I just put it in sleep mode.

@1visualalchemist 4 месяца назад

Question... Why run a thunderbolt cable to your Display from the Macbook Pro when you can run one cable to the Caldigit dock then to the monitor? The dock will charge your Macbook Pro while simultaneously outputting a display signal via thunderbolt. Im not sure what your limitations are, not sure if i missed something... clean setup regardless.

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

I sometimes use the open thunderbolt port on the back for other things.

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

those are all very different from each other and not something you can really answer in the comments section. Best I can say is do some research and find what you wanna use your Mac for and see what others are getting out of each of these machines. Don't forget you can always buy one and if you don't like it, you can return it up to 15 days later.

@stephaned3072 4 месяца назад

I think the macbook will tell you if you need a macbook or mac mini. Cuz a macbook will have the portability option aswell so either way youll most likely need a macbook. Then from using it just see if thats enough for you

I have looked it up on the internet, but I wanna hear your opinion and anyon else's Love the earthy tone aesthetic tho. Thanks always for the killer content.

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

I never turn it off. Not worried about battery degradation these days. On the old intel macs this was an issue with old versions of macOS, but I've ran similar setups with absolutely no issues. The OS is pretty good at handling this - often times you'll see your battery percentage held to 80% or so depending on your charging habits, but I've had machines plugged in for 4-5 months without any problems. Don't expect this to be any different.

@patrickcallahan2885 4 месяца назад

I have found when leaving it in clam shell plugged into the Cal digit TS 4, the MacBook only charges to 80% to prevent overcharging, but they do recommend you take the computer off every two weeks or so to allow the battery to run down. It does require to run cycles once in a while….

@hypno0784 4 месяца назад

Would you suggest investing in an M2 max today or an M1/M2 Pro and getting something in the future as per requirements? I'm still in grade 11 and do quite a lot of programming and video editing for clients. My dad's iMac Pro has held up quite well, but it's time for me to get a new Mac. My current 2017 Air is very crappy for anything as anticipated, so that is ruled out. I currently do medium to nearly pro-level editing, but I plan to scale it up quite substantially in 1 to 2 years into college. I don't make quite a lot of money today, but I can see how my revenue will grow as I work more towards this. I would also do more complex stuff with AI and ML codebases, but definitely nothing close to that intense for at least 2 years. For my requirements today, even the M1 Pro is plenty but considering my future needs, the M1 Pro will not be able to hold up. Assuming I buy the latest max/ultra series chips 2 years later, I'm still paying more than $3500 for an editing rig (laptop or desktop). Trading this M1 Pro would get me peanuts, and keeping the M1 Pro and buying another rig is a distant talk, so that's a point of concern. But at the same time, the M4 max or whatever would put the M2 max to shame in terms of performance. I can get an M1 Pro for $1300 M2 Max for about $2500. Is it worth the price bump?

@KyleErickson 4 месяца назад

I can't really answer that for you - if it were me and money was tight, I'd just use what I have until I feel like it's really holding me back and then upgrade to what I can afford and what addresses my pain points. This is a personal choice though, everyone is different.

Not likely, at least for the foreseeable future - these speakers are actually outstanding. They have very similar performance specs to the full-sized HomePod outside of low frequency extension which is to be expected in something contained in such a compact form factor, great dynamic range compression, and volume levels. They outperform any laptop speaker, which is all I need in this space.
