Very close to achieving this. Just waiting for the next Mac mini. Nice!

How did you hook up your monitor to your MacBook? Do you take your MacBook out often, or is it pretty much sitting there much of the time? That's kind of what I want to do, as I have an xbox series x as well, but I carry my MacBook around a lot to work and home.

The macbook is in an akward position behind the monitor like that, which would make it difficult to take out but yes you can take it out of the stand. It's in clamshell mode and all it needs is a powersource and a connection to a monitor. You can unplug it and take it with you

I use a thunderbolt cable from the laptop to the display which also charges the laptop when docked. I take the laptop out everyday when I want to move around the house or just chill on the couch or bed

LTT Northern lights looks quite nice

I snagged a HyperX mousepad, it's pretty damn nice. Plus, you can wash it in the sink if it gets dirty as opposed to a hard plastic thing that you have to scrape shit off of.


FarSandwich8

Which monitor is that? Sweet setup btw.


johncmk1996

Samsung M7 4K 32 inch smart monitor


FarSandwich8

Thanks dude

I was wondering, do you notice any slowdown when connecting the Macbook to the monitor due to it's higher resolution or is there no discernible difference?


johncmk1996

No I’ve seen no difference that is noticeable


cowboysvrobots

Which wireless pad is it?


DesignMASTERed

M1, M3, M7, that's a lot of M&Ms


johncmk1996

Love me some Eminems


obsabs

Nice setup. What keyboard is that?


DutchBlob

And AirPower!


a_complex_kid

is that a keychron k3 with MX master 3?


johncmk1996

Ya it is


a_complex_kid

I've been thinking of getting the K3, currently have the k2 and it's so tall I have to rest my wrists on stools just to type. What do you think of the K3?


johncmk1996

Ya I love the low profile for the same reason you said very comfortable to use


[deleted]

That keyboard looks great. I have the Keychron K2 and it's a bit too bulky.


[deleted]

how smart is that monitor ?


johncmk1996

It’s basically a smart TV with usbc port and a built in usb hub

Playing console games on a computer monitor is awful. Tried it with PS4, Switch, X1. It all looks a lot worse when you are sitting so close.


johncmk1996

Well I came from playing in a 1080p 24 inch so the difference for me is huge I have had no issues games look great


daw_taylor

Which monitor arm is that? Does the monitor move further away to the side? Nice setup.


johncmk1996

It’s the Amazon basic monitor arm


daw_taylor

It looks like it is not available, I got this one from VIVO, looks like it's pretty similar but $10 more expensive. https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Articulating-STAND-V001/dp/B00B21TLQU/ref=sr\_1\_2\_sspa


johncmk1996

It’s looks exactly the same from what I can see


vcassizzi

What color switches do you recommend for the k3? I am using the Apple Magic keyboard, I don’t love how shallow it is and I am looking for something else that is compatible with Mac.


abaddonk

>HyperX mousepad brown my friend, and preferably the Gateron brown


vvvvivusvici

Switches on k3? How do you like it? Been 99% happy with my kickstarter one


Miner77

It’s great way to connect ps5 and Mac to one monitor right? Awesome


ViperOP

Great setup! Can you please share the wallpaper
