Goodbye, Mac Mini! WFH Setup Update

I decided to donate my mac mini and some other desk setup accessories to my father-in-law to help improve his computer setup. In the meantime, I added a few new things to my desk at home.

Your Tatay (father-in-law) is so lucky to have a son-in-law like you. Good job son!

[@3A-Ti]

Very much liked your courtliness and liberality in granting your FIL with your well maintained Mac and accessories, as well as rearranging his desk setup 👌🏼😎 I also very much liked your new desk accessories 👍🏼👌🏼☺️

[@MichaelSoledad]

Thank you!

[@hackintoshslovakia368]

great idea to push our parents to the next step, to be in actual technology trends and be more productive, thanks for inspiration

[@PatrickRambles]

The wireless mic on your wrist was a stroke of genius. 100% stealing that 😊

[@TheThaiLife]

I saw that too. ASMR gold.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Haha thanks, Patrick! It’s a trick I actually learned from Matt (@nvzion on IG) 😄

[@MattNVZION]

@@MichaelSoledad I’m still clipping the mic on my watch til this day 😆

[@bongtiamson4368]

What a nice way to share your not so old M1 Mac mini. Well done Michael.. he's gonna give you a big smile at pasasalamat 👍🙏

[@MichaelSoledad]

Thank you! He’s very reserved so he simply smiled at me and I know that he appreciates it very much.

[@lukeeggleston2953]

I want to invest in a Grovemade desk shelf they look so good

[@aliabdaal]

Love that you’re using the Lightmode keyboard ❤

[@MichaelSoledad]

Thank you for sending it out, Ali!

[@MarineX]

Looks great. You probably already know, but the 3s cleans up well with a magic eraser. And I love that smart desk mat. Especially as a separate space to check emails on my iPad pro

[@MichaelSoledad]

I did not know that! Thank you for the tip.

[@PrimalEdge]

Great job!!!

[@Clintboyd]

Nice tunes to go with a great video

[@bbalestier]

You are a good Man…wonderful video. Thank you 🙏

[@CaimarSalizi]

I’ve been using Moft’s iPad case and the iPhone tripod for almost a year and they serve me well! I’m excited to hear your thoughts about the mat soon😊! Btw, that wrist mic was a big brain move🔥

[@MichaelSoledad]

Thanks man! I learned that from Matt (@nvzion) on IG :)

[@marzookislam5269]

Wow great job I hope he likes it

[@Zuracle]

nice video! keep them coming! sending love from Philippines

[@MichaelSoledad]

Maraming Salamat!

[@ad4ptfps]

What are those wallpapers? Looks so nice

[@BLR653]

Great work! Do you miss the 32" size of the Benq monitor now that your using the Apple Studio display?

[@MichaelSoledad]

I honestly do. I think its a very underrated monitor. My only real problem with it was that the maximum brightness couldn't compare to my LG 5K and Studio Display.

[@terrywarnold]

Bro, we needed a reaction from your FIL on his new setup lol.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Haha! He is very reserved so he simply smiled at me and asked why I spent so much money. I told him these were previously mine and he is currently enjoying his new setup.

[@Alan.livingston]

I liked the bit where he had to pretend not to see his in-laws corn stash.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Oh, I saw it. It's exclusively his lol

[@bruintoo]

You better put those STICKIES back!!!!

[@MichaelSoledad]

I did 🤣

[@sueskiing]

where did you get both the iPhone wireless chargers from?

[@MichaelSoledad]

The first one is from UGMONK the second one is from Grovemade

[@70soul35]

Nice transformation, but the link to the amazon shelf is to a slightly different product

[@MichaelSoledad]

Thanks for letting me know! I'll check the link

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Dawg, you better put back the thousand post-it notes! LOL I used to live and die by my post-its.Still slightly guilty of it.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Hahahaha! They’re still there, I promise.

[@TheAhmadReza]

What is that knob under the monitor? 🤔

[@MichaelSoledad]

It’s a switch for the LED lights behind the speakers

[@Synthalog]

I still use the mid-2010 27” iMac, which works perfectly. BTW, I’m in the design industry. This is more about a cliche setup rather than an accurate tool.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Good for you! I was a graphic designer for 15 years and my last iMac (2017) was way too slow for what I used it for. The 2020 M1 Macs feel like super computers compared to the old intel based ones.

[@vatinp]

So what do you replace your mac mini with?

[@MichaelSoledad]

Currently using my M1 MacBook Pro. Still debating if I should get another Mac mini so we’ll see.

[@vatinp]

@@MichaelSoledad It solely depend on the need for portability.

[@Haris_C]

Great video minus the scam keyboard from ali abdaal. $159 for a plastic oem keyboard is insane

[@MichaelSoledad]

I’m educated enough on keyboards to know TBH but the keyboard itself is ok 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Haris_C]

@@MichaelSoledad yeah it’s ok but most enthusiasts feel it’s basically a scam to prey on those that don’t know about keyboards :( I’m not knocking you for it but it’s sad he’s just scamming basically

[@steve9377]

doesn't it have touch ID built in?

[@Haris_C]

@@steve9377 it does not

[@MichaelSoledad]

@@steve9377 it does not

[@phillippereira6468]

NICE. hand over your old tech to the father in law, gives the best excuse to get the wife to OK the tech upgrade. Am going to do the same. Well try to.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Hahahaha

[@mgaming7]

just wonder why the title is saying goodbye to the Mac mini when you are saying goodbye to the old iMac ? it's Hello Mac mini ...... (the best small computer ever created) PS: we didn't get Any reaction to the set up on video or even just you telling us what he said.......

[@Theshort1996]

lol was confused the way he titled 😂😂😂

[@ChrisBundy17]

Ya this definitely could be a series on the old TLC. Overhaulin', Pimp My Ride, What-not-to-Wear vibes.

[@MichaelSoledad]

Totally understand. If you look at my content I made a setup video about my Mac Mini setup a few months back. TBH I didn't expect this video to do this well so it won't make a lot of sense to others who haven't been following me so I appreciate the watch! Regarding my father-in-law, he is very reserved and never wants to be in the spotlight. But he did appreciate the gesture and is currently enjoying his new setup.

[@MichaelSoledad]

@ChrisBundy17 I've done a couple of these over the years actually. They're scattered in my channel :)

[@MichaelSoledad]

@Theshort1996 it only makes sense for my audience who have followed my other videos so completely understandable.

[@BigPaco213]

everything 10/10 but plz get rid of those headphones 🤢🤮

[@MichaelSoledad]

Don’t knock it till you try it 😉

[@nelinjo]

What's with these small stupid mec keyboard?😂😂😂

[@MichaelSoledad]

Let people enjoy their things 😉

[@nelinjo]

@@MichaelSoledad this stupid trend with these non-functional keyboards needs to stop.
