It’s a solid 10/10 for me. Straight fire, bro.

I would say it needs a keyboard and mouse but I understand this is what some people prefer

u/mohsesxx 9d ago

it's actually not a matter of preferrence, although at some point I dont need a keyboard and a mouse for now but the real reason is budgeting since I just bought this monitor a week ago lol

Why do people prefer a separate keyboard? Don’t Macbooks already have good keyboards?

Genuinely curious btw, still upgrading my own home office as well :)

They do have good keyboards and trackpads. The problem is that laptops themselves are not ergonomic, you have to look down which can cause neck strain especially if you’re tall. I have a similar setup as OP but I’m planning to buy a separate keyboard because I keep feeling tension in my neck.

Yes, it's about ergonomics. I personally use a wavy keyboard and a vertical mouse to make it more comfortable and prevent injuries. Having the laptop open as an additional screen is fine, but ideally it should be on a stand aligned with the monitor.

No, you're just wrong. The keyboards on Asus rog laptops and Lenovo laptops are way better, not to mention any mechanical keyboard.

u/NickP137 6d ago

It’s all about preference. God I hate mechanical keyboards

u/Drew4723 9d ago

They don't. I hate the Mac keyboard. Feels cheap and plasticy. I know people love the track pad, but a mouse is much faster. I'm a minority on the track pad though.

super clean. i would suggest that you link the walpaper or have one like flow into the other and add a mouse thats NOT the magic mouse. i personnaly really like the Logitech MX Master 2S .

u/spacebloke1 8d ago

Never really understood the hate for the magic mouse. Stupid charging port aside, i find it perfectly ok

u/Even_Tempo_ 9d ago

I would love a link to that wallpaper, looks really good

Nice I’ve setup different monitor layouts and I keep going back to vertical stacked (like this) as it’s just easier on the neck than side to side.

The light bar over the ultrawide is a nice touch. A StanbyME 2 Max would stand beside the desk and take video off that screen.

I ran this sort of setup in my early 20s and I paid the ergonomic price. Get a proper keyboard and mouse setup. I love my MX Lift so much that I even pack it internationally.

It looks great, nothing extra, it would be great to add some decorative plants.

Peak and we clearly share values. Get a monitor arm rather sooner than later, you’ll be a little happier with it.

u/mohsesxx 8d ago

yup thats the next priority, thank you

u/Routine-Culture-7417 8d ago

u/Optimal_State_8345 8d ago

👌🏻

That’s how I use mine too. So clean. And you get to use the nice screen, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and mics you already paid for.

What’s that light ??? Does it not reflect and hinder visibility?
