    The correct orientation of the Mac Mini

    Ok, clickbaity title aside, setting the Mac Mini up like this raised my wifi strength from under 60 % to 93 % and extended my Bluetooth range from a spotty 1 m to rock solid whole room coverage. It runs noticeably cooler and I have easy access to all the ports and the power button. This is a...

    Thinking of building an IKEA desk... Questions

    For years, I had a setup in my basement den using an 8-foot-long portable dining table with fake wood veneer top with folding metal legs. Upon inspecting it recently, I found it was starting to deteriorate and it's not worth saving. I'm thinking seriously of throwing out the old, junk table and...

    CharJenPro offers a 5Gbps one for their iPad stand. Any from a reputable brand (i.e. other than the 1M ChiCom mushroom brands in Amazon) that runs at 10Gbps?

    What's your 15/16" MBP desk setup?

    I'm really interested to know (or see) how all of you with the larger laptop use it while at your desk? Do you just use it without an external monitor? Do you have an external keyboard and monitor? Is the monitor off to the right, left or straight-on? Seems like a waste of a great screen...

    Monitor arm that only goes up and down?

    Is there a desk-mounted monitor arm/stand that specifically only goes up and down? I have a standing desk and every time I switch from sitting to standing position, I readjust my monitor height, but really dislike how free-floating arms can easily jerk the monitor off-axis. I want a sturdy...

    Two iMacs on a single desk?

    Being recently married and living in a quite small flat, space at our home is relatively precious. I’ve already got a 5K iMac and now looking for a 4K one for my wife.
