Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 20)

[Tooney]

Thanks for the run down, you really do have a quite a gorgeous, maximum efficiency set-up going for yourself!

Thanks mate, its been progress over 8 years, even in this house I have had a few versions of the setup and finally got to a point I love!

What desk is that, that you are currently using? I'm guessing it's a kitchen table or something similar? Looks great!

Is the Cinema Display still holding up with other displays?

Can you charge and the MBA via Thunderbolt?

My workplace is throwing away about 7 Thunderbolt displays as we want to get rid of these last remaining screens. I was going to keep one but realized it's only 2560x1440 resolution. Text seemed not as sharp as I hoped when I plugged in my M1 MBA.

Yeah, under Big Sur onwards, anything less than 4K looks terrible.

Taken a while to get to this point and I think this is not v3 of this kind of layout and desk but LOVE IT!

Thinking of making a few adjustments (Remove MacMini M1) and then replace MacBook Air for MacBook Pro 14.

Also going to upgrade the iPad 12.9 to Gen 5 soon (I think!).

I promise you it all does have a use

Here's my studio apartment setup! I have a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro running a 20" DVI Cinema Display which I got for free from a coworker who was about to discard it. All of my lights are from Ikea and are on hue bulbs.

My Christmas setup
Specs: MacBook Pro Late 2012 8+128GB
Apple Cinema HD Display

I might be getting an iMac soon though because the MBP is really starting to show its age

Right the new MBP 14 is in, replacing the Mac mini. I have also removed the iPad just to tidy it up.

I now need to get a laptop arm to remove some more off the desk and I can then tidy the cable up.

I now have a MacBook Air M1 (16GB) and a Mac mini M1 (16GB) FOR SALE.

Not sure what is next?

 

[Tooney]

A few changes...

IN > MacBook Pro 14
OUT > Mac mini M1
OUT > iPad Pro 11

Here is my current Mac desktop setup in my room:

An M1 MacBook Air hooked up to a CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 dock with an Apple Thunderbolt display also hooked up. I also have an MthsTec USB-C Blu-Ray burner hooked up to the TS3 Plus dock, and some external storage solutions.

Is that a Samsung 49" monitor?

Yes it sure is...

In that first picture I honestly swear someone's bra was hanging from a hook about the PC.

Much cleaner! More focused to get stuff done!
I think often we're all too focused on how great our setups are and not so much about getting things done: work/skills or play.

The 30" display port version doesn't.
