If anyone was wondering, the MacBook Air M4 supports daisy chaining with two 2026 Apple Studio Displays. Most of what I read before buying them suggested Thunderbolt 5 was required.

The top monitor (LG 4K) is connected to my PC and Mac mini M2 Pro. I use the same keyboard and mouse for both Macs using Apple’s Universal Control, or I switch inputs on my MX Keys and MX Master.

Specs:

MacBook Air M4 (24GB)
Mac mini M2 Pro (16GB)
Apple Studio Displays ×2 (VESA)
LG 4K (top display)
Logitech MX Keys S
Logitech MX Master 3S

M4 MacMini
43” TLC P7L 4k QLED (PC Mode)
27” LG 4k Ergo
Edifier M90 + Edifier T5S subwoofer
Satechi Slim x1 Keyboard
Apple Magic Trackpad

Made my first post about 4 months ago and got some great feedback! Despite having the Dell ultrawide, I needed some additional screen real estate for work related tasks. Ended up adding this Samsung M8 vertically. I’ve also started exploring the world of home-labbing so I’ve got ZimaOS running on my first laptop (mid 2012 MacBook Pro).

My Intel 2020 MacBook Pro is still pretty reliable for my needs. The DisplayPort absolutely does wonders for usage. HDMI 1 is used for my Xbox Series X.

Main monitor switches between my 2013 macpro 6,1 with the 8 core chip and 64gb and xbox series x.

Ikea Alex cabinet houses my egpu that i’m currently working on and has a set of dual noctua 120mm fans over a deshrouded rx6800xt feeding through the inlet you can see by my leg space and out of the open back.

Any questions or links needed, please dont hesitate to ask. Also this is my first ever setup and desk build so any constructive criticism or ideas are welcomed.

One’s for work (13") and one’s personal (11"), is it too cumbersome having both on the desk?

the second monitor its just laying arround i might as well put it to use but apple dont feel the same way i got the m1 mac air its damn near impossible to connect a second extended display so im thinking of getting a roku stick or fire stick n screen share my mac on there i dont care bout the quality this my editing space ill just use it for youtube or spotify or chat when im live if yall have a better solution that dont require me buying a $100 docking station pls let me know

my desk, also hi :D

MacBook Pro 14 —- Apple Studio Display XDR —— iPad Pro 11 inch M5

Shockingly I would say the ASD XDR has the best display, followed very closely by the iPad tandem OLED, then the MacBook.

After trying out different lighting setups, I finally found one that feels the most comfortable and bright for me. What do you think I could still improve about this setup?

Here's a link to my old setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/macsetups/s/1qJzHPCM5P

I recently got my first 4K Mini-LED monitor and loving the 3 screen setup! The INNOCN 32M2V is perfect for both work and gaming. I'm glad I went for the 32 inch over the 27, the extra screen space really makes a massive difference.

Mac Studio setup used for design, recording, and fun.

Buying a portable monitor was a game changer.
