Sometimes the answer to optimizing your own setup... is to simplify. It's certainly not for everyone, but worth a shot to boil things down to what's important. 😊

@tpye_volt2310 Місяць тому

100 percent

@catgirl_eva Місяць тому

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had setups with three or more monitors, dedicated speakers, a huge custom build desktop, and various other things. None of them made me as happy as just having my iMac and only my iMac.

@rickystafford7433 Місяць тому

your desk is 10x more cluttered than it was. the TV setup was much simpler. I approve of the Coke Zero can though lol

@tpye_volt2310 Місяць тому

I like having my stuff there and clean, people like it simple but I just cant@@rickystafford7433

Non gonna lie, the distance from yourself and the laptop screen is driving me nuts.

I'll give it a couple of months, then you'll have an external display again 😉

@@Segevgabyou nailed it. I can hear him repeating the same cons he does here as reasons for switching back to an external monitor.

@anguis4343 Місяць тому

i get ditching the oled tv but that laptop display being that far away is going to be bad for your eyes probably ideal with some kind of monitor

@greendblink182 Місяць тому

Definitely needs a monitor of some sort. 27" would be perfect for this setup

@luimac3374 Місяць тому

This got to be one of the goofiest setups iver ever seen....

@Neo6364 Місяць тому

Yeah it’s gonna be a no from me haha. That photo next to the laptop takes up more space than the screen does.

@devinjohnson8297 Місяць тому

Glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way. Definitely seems like a huge downgrade. Trimming the fat and creating more clutter.

@derps079 Місяць тому

Ya, gotta say, when he says "simplied" setup, this seems like the opposite when the desk is utterly covered in stuff. heh. but everyone is different! *shrug*

@jtaylor405 Місяць тому

Lol it still looks cool and cozy at the same time

@gawrshurab1035 8 днів тому

More simple than a screen and pc there isnt, this thing is more complicated and not confortable at all lmao

@productfeedback Місяць тому

That laptop screen far back like that might be a bit challenging on the eye sight bro but the Vision Pro solves it haha

@ffenixrising Місяць тому

I can understand going from 42 inch to a smaller monitor, but 42 inch to 14 inch is too great a leap for my old eyes. Ken, take care of your eyes while you still can. lol

@TimotheousMaximus Місяць тому

Maybe something like a 24-inch or 27-inch monitor would be a good medium? smaller than the tv but larger than the laptop display! :)

@RealRadR Місяць тому

I love the cozy set up! I've been trying to get my room to looks like this for a bit and seeing your setup gave me some inspiration on how I can do that more :)

Love your setup. And looking forward to getting rid of my Monitor for the Apple Vision Pro in the future.

@RBDSTN Місяць тому

I don't necessarily understand or agree with the choices made but the video is still very well presented

@Tristendo64 Місяць тому

DUDE this is exactly what I did (except I had a big external monitor but got rid of it) to use just the MacBook Pro 14" display. The difference is that I also have my iPad Pro 11" on the right as an external monitor via Sidecar. I don't feel as crazy for doing this set up now that I have seen you do it. Keep it up! Add an iPad as an external monitor via USB cable if you need extra real estate.

@budeweiser1968 Місяць тому

I would need at least 27inch screen...vision isn't good enough for this setup.

@Deja117 Місяць тому

Maybe the vision pro isn't that bad? I'm conflicted now. Anyway, personally I can't survive without at least a 24" screen. If it was smaller I couldn't see things too well with my glasses off. 😅

I REALLY like the wallpaper can someone link me that? ❤5:51 also love the setup ^^ little bit cluttered tho imo.

@Chimpur Місяць тому

Hooray for the trackball!!! One question though. Why the M575 and not the MX Ergo?

@perdomot Місяць тому

As a dual monitor guy I can't imagine trying to use a laptop screen so far away 75 percent of the time. Just got an OLED monitor for $800 which is the most I have ever spent on something for my setup but I love how good it looks. As for saving desk space putting the monitor on a good swivel arm solves the issue.

Hello, Wow, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed.

@BernicePanders Місяць тому

1:16 - Me being more jealous of the Mika PikaZo art book than anything... Of course, I've been existing on a no-budget 'setup' for 15 years, the last 4 years of that being on a used ebay HP Pavilion 2017 laptop that I couldn't even update beyond the first Win10 install. I've used a Samsung A71 (& any of the NekoCake MoonDrop wireless earbuds I've gotten) as my main media consumption & only my old laptop as my 'work space'. What tech influencers usually never get is that the majority of their audience simply cannot afford the vast majority of the tech they review or show off. If I was an influencer, it would be for those of us who aren't considered in the vast majority of these videos. While I would NEVER in a million years say that ANYONE on a low budget should EVER buy an Apple product, I do appreciate Ken's attempts here!

@kellymoses8566 Місяць тому

I cannot comprehend going from a 42" screen to a 14" screen. It is completely insane.

@Zac_Cole Місяць тому

Yeah try and use a monitor, don't worsen your vision or atleast bring the laptop closer. Reading text on a 14 inch laptop that far back isn't good.

@novabalm Місяць тому

Got rid of the big screen but added a bunch of little knick knacks on your desk seems anti-simplifying. I guess it's content for future if/when you add external monitors again.

@derps079 Місяць тому

This desk setup feels like utter chaos with all the trinkets and gadgets, while working on only a 14" display at 3-4" feet away from your eyesight seems excruciating! No screen real-estate also would drive me nuts for work, multi tasking, or gaming needs. To each their own i guess. Yikes. But i still enjoy your content and production value! cheers

I would be a little concerned by the distance eyes/14" screen.

@phykios Місяць тому

Yeah, blud is definitely not using the vision pro for more than 6 months. It just seems to uncomfortable having to have that huge, bulky, heavy thing on your head for more than an hour or two when you're working. No way you're using this long term.

just do a linus and put the oled in the window, or on the sill, only laptop at about 3.5 ft away is just stup!d, if its closer sure it can be ur main work monitor, but its just terrible to look at a 14 in display that far away, u can literally see ur neck moving forward to read swear I almost thought this was april fools at first

I can understand wanting to declutter, but you will *NEVER* convince me that a 14" laptop monitor is the best choice for a desktop station. Nope. Also, it is my life's work to trip or punch every single person I see using that Apple headset monstrosity.

@rickystafford7433 Місяць тому

I’m sorry but this makes no sense unless it was only an excuse to try and justify the AVP. Not only is it more cluttered but you have a small 14” screen sitting way too far back. At least get a 16”. I’m all for simplifying but this isn’t simpler in any sense of the word.

@kritya2015 Місяць тому

Certainly not minimalistic

@twoodcc Місяць тому

so leading in with "going minimalist" but then later showing the vision pro is the equivalent to "cleaning your room" by just shoving everything under your bed. why not just own the fact that you swopped out a 42" tv with a virtual screen that's a big screen for your mac, plus even more screens. so there's even more clutter, it's just accessed via the vision pro instead of a tv

@Vratikusz Місяць тому

Replaced big nice screen with 3500$ virtual same size screen , adding more junk everywhere and calling this as simplifying? Sorry but this is stupid AF.

You guys are just bunch of haters XD. He might just like this way, but even so, I think it’s upgrade with the Apple vision. I don’t like having so much too, but it’s just me. I sometimes have too much stuff and I need space sometimes.

You lost the monitor and added 42" inches of concentrated ultra nerd, and man it looks terrible. You really need a monitor again, even if its smaller one, otherwise your workspace looks so lobsided, 90% weeb 10% professional.
