iPad Desk Setup & Home Office Tour 2023!

[@aliabdaal]

this is so sick

[@Real_Game]

Hi

[@ByteReview]

Oh damn, thanks for checking the video my man! Big fan over here 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@JaghataiK]

Not sure if that’s a compliment, coming from a doctor 😁

[@lacuswongq7839]

Wow Ali is here~ just to say hi 🎉

[@slpdx]

@@JaghataiK He just wants this video to go viral.

[@eugenekhoo87]

Can you make a video on how to DIY the floating iPad on the monitor arm ? Thanks

[@AR-bj5et]

In a sea of dark and moody setups loaded with ultra wide displays and Ergonoffice sponsorships this is such a breath of fresh air and inspiration. I love the way you set up your iPad as s second display on an arm, I’ve seen no one else do that but I for sure will be! Really nice setup.

[@ching962]

Can you show us in detail how you set up the iPad stand? Or a picture of the back? Thanks!

[@froufou100]

I love your iPad floating effect set-up! But I didn't understand what you meant by all the arms. Do you have a demo somewhere? I see the desktop arm in your links but not the iPad one, and then how do you attach the magnetic thing?

[@SkittlesBeats]

I love the way you’ve grown into your space a ton! Comparing your setup to what it was before has been amazing! Keep making great videos as always!

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for sticking around 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@bryans8656]

Your home office is a work of art. I have many of the same components (Studio, iPad, MacBook, Windows PC) but that's where the similarity ends. Mine looks like your closet before you put in the coffee setup.

[@ByteReview]

haha my closet was awful! Defo spend some time making it nice, you'll thank yourself for it!

[@thedavidj1996]

I bought the same DeLonghi machine a few weeks ago and I love it. I'm really getting into espresso brewing as a hobby. I love making espresso out of specialty coffee, locally roasted coffee, and small lot coffees. It's a fun ritual to have in the morning before work and it's a great way for me to decompress after I get home.

[@renegaderumi25]

The way the keyboard slides underneath the desk shelf was soooo satisfying. Thanks for the new vid! And that final tip about minimalist design was super interesting. Keep doing awesome work!

[@ByteReview]

It's so satisfying indeed! haha

[@quandlespoulesaurontdesden6330]

Very awesome ! I want an office like this one day amazing amazing amazing !

[@lindahealey6992]

I think you’ve nailed it-if you love your space you’re more likely to enjoy being in it, and I’ll bet it boosts your productivity and mindfulness. Cheers!

[@ByteReview]

100% agree!

[@upergo.official]

I appreciate the way you incorporate your personal expereiences and insights into your videos, which adds a layer of authenticity!

[@julicorp-96]

9:27 Love your office partner 🥰 So nice you give him his own desk to work

[@Insane_Rebecca]

I really like this idea of your desk.

[@hortalica]

very smart to use a kitchen top as they are more sturdy for your setup. thank you for sharing.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

It’s all so pleasing but the little touches here are just 🤌🏻- the lighting, choice of pegs, coffee coasters…all with a balance of form/function. Lovely stuff Tom 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@ByteReview]

Ayyy thanks man!

[@piplup10203854]

I'd actually like to do this but with just the MacBook Pro, I been trying to downsize my entire workflow to a single Laptop. I don't dislike my current setup but it's not really as clean as I would like it to be and I'd love to overhaul it, this would actually give me a better home for my iPad Pro, so I might I have to try and do this, I really really like it. I am definitely blown away, how do I do this!

[@hotmintchoco]

hey Tom I just wanna shout out to your video style...previously I mentioned that i miss the format of you sitting beside your desk with your desktop on your right and pegboard in the background, I sincerely appreciate taking feedback from your viewers seriously! also this was such a comprehensive video. thanks for taking us through your beautiful workspace. I'm still considering getting the ugmonk stand as well as the Formo laptop bag that you've advertised for. keep it going!

[@hotmintchoco]

also to add, if you get wrist pain from using your mouse you can always consider getting an ergo wrist rest, one of your sponsors also manufactures them! it's called the carpio 2.0

[@ByteReview]

@@hotmintchoco You're welcome! And I don't actually get wrist pain luckily, I just wanted to try a new style of mouse out!

[@gr-os4gd]

Not everyone appeared pleased with the sofa replacement… 🐱 How do you control dust in your space? I always find that it’s a real pain dusting when I have a lot of small items out or on display.

[@james2008957]

I wonder that too

[@ByteReview]

Just dust at least once a week to stay on top of it, but with the small items and figures they can get really dusty quick

[@Michaelthink]

I have heart eyes for that room. Coffee pls and ty

[@iffay]

Love how all the colours bring the room together

[@ByteReview]

Always keeping it in theme haha

[@Hiiipowerdanni]

I love how your videos look. They are so sharp and your space looks like a place I can really be productive, get sh*t done. Thank you for this great content.

[@ByteReview]

Glad you like them, defo worth making your own space beautiful to work in if you can!

[@cgdmdoe]

I think I am hypnotized by this video without my knowledge. Amazing detailed work with a talking alike story telling

[@ByteReview]

Glad you liked it!

[@ronijoni1681]

Literally office goals!!

[@Gordidon]

Nice setup. I really like the way you put away the keyboard and mouse with the mat. So simple and functional.

[@ByteReview]

It’s so satisfying to slide it under too

[@waqarahmedkhan1236]

Clean and Minimal ❤

[@JeffreyBox]

Incredible. Drawn lots of inspiration from you. Keep up the good work!

[@MosChowdhury]

I’ve got the Mac Studio and iPad Pro combo too! You’re setup is literally so calming. Gonna take some inspiration from this! Loving your videos man 👌🏽

[@ByteReview]

Ahhh awesome, it's a great combo!

[@cecilereyna]

I love your setup because it's beautiful and functional. I hate most of desk setups have LED strips and a dark, strong aesthetic that reminds me of Avengers. Yours is unique and show your personality, not just a copycat.

[@ByteReview]

Thank you, I’m not a fan of the dark and moody look so I went in the other direction! Glad some people like it as much as me 🎏

[@HockeyPurist]

Can you share how got the iPad and dell monitor on a single movable Mount?

[@stephaniesalabarria6431]

Can you make a video of all your keyboards? Thanks

[@WhosJmcGames]

Such a cosy room and must be even cosier now with the smell of coffee! I really need to redecorate mine, it's a riot and it's really not motivating me to do more stuff! Thanks for the video 🤘

[@ByteReview]

You're welcome! and yes the smell of coffee is so good, even if my coffee making skills are not haha

[@WestonWoodfin]

The setup is looking so great! Seeing your space grow makes my soul happy!

[@PilotPerkins]

Great setup.

[@hollycameron1446]

Absolutely loved this - thank you for sharing all of those links! Would love a video about the things/items you love that aren’t tech related at some point if you were up for it 😊

[@ByteReview]

That's something I'd love to do! Maybe I will over on Instagram :)

[@DesignedbyKirk]

You've put so much thought and personality into creating one of the most unique and inviting setups out there Tom, love your videos as always, it really must just inspired productivity!

[@ByteReview]

Ahhh thanks for stopping by! Glad you like the space

[@rowdyryderleather5139]

Amazing detail and unique workspace! Very creative and utilitarian.

[@ByteReview]

Glad you like it!

it's a great fing

[@mrasquaretech]

As usual very satisfying pleasing video🔥

[@RetroMario]

The IKEA counter tops are amazing for offices. I made my desk out of an IKEA counter top much like yours, but I put together an iron frame from scrapped iron beams. It’s probably the best solution when you’re on a tight budget and you don’t want to pay for a premade desk.

[@ByteReview]

They really are perfect for desks

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Another amazing video! Thanks for sharing with us! Keep up with the great work! 🚀 Cheers from Brazil!

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for watching`!

[@bb_4488]

Since you have 2 computers and 2 iPads, do you work off of the cloud all the time to resume the work you were doing on the Studio

[@lovelifelight]

Ooo congrats on the silver play button! Wondering about your monitor - aren’t 4k ones sort of incompatible with Macs in terms of scaling? How do you work that out? (Until I can get like a 5k I’ve been happy with a QHD meanwhile)

[@ByteReview]

Hey thanks! And honestly a lot of that is really overblown, i've found it fine!

[@fayyazb]

Simply LOVE IT! Really cool!

[@cy5214]

That iPad Mount is slick.

[@ByteReview]

It's so gooood

[@noodles.dumplings.kimchi2878]

Which video is the one that show you making the floating iPad monitor??

[@fty-ys4ni]

I need a bit more info on how you frankenstein’d that iPad mount

[@juanmolina4575]

Great video! Thks 🤍

[@kortelorius]

Hi Tom, really nice set up. You inspired me a lot. What surprised me is a biscuit called Mila on one of the Ikea board. It is produced in Czechia, where I am from and I wonder why and how it get to your board? Thanks 😉

[@ByteReview]

They sell them in my local supermarket and I just really like the design of the packaging, haha!

[@darashafira1049]

dreammm!

[@FrancoisTerblanche]

This setup is clean! 👍🏼

[@MinimalisTech]

Tom! Was this shot on the FX30? What lens you using? Love the content buddy

FX3 & a collection of lenses! Mainly the sigma 28-70 and Sony 50m, 1.4 gm!

Is it possible for the iPad to go landscape or is it not possible with the arm/attachment you're using?

[@AdrianAntonio]

Very chill setup and that coffee machine looks good. Now I want some coffee. What the name of the wall shelves your using, are those from ikea and u spray painted them?

[@ByteReview]

They were just from IKEA in that colour already, super cheap too BURHULT they were called

[@LarsUrich-f6s]

From where do you get the desk shelf?

Is that a Nomos club your rocking. Very nice

@@ByteReview yes I have a couple. They are classy and under the radar with some playful touches. I can see why you like them. I’d suggest you would also like the Metro if your a club wearer

nice desktop set

[@JulianJLTung]

A fan of your videos and setups! Have you had issues with scroll wheel on MX Master not being able to scroll on the iPad on Universal Control?

[@ByteReview]

Thanks! Yep, I have that issue and it's really annoying! Hope it gets sorted soon 😩

[@MrWwe201]

where did you get the that small form factor pc case?

[@MGKGR]

Hold up you can connect your iPad to a mirador or is that a Mac

[@imspinningfree]

Love the desk shelf, but it costs as much as my current desk (Anfallare + Alex drawer + Adils). A shame because I really like how neatly it tidies up.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah it's a pricy one but the quality reflects it for sure

[@gilcarvalho]

Great video! Are you still using the A7III to shoot your videos? Which lens did you use most? Thks

[@ByteReview]

I upgraded to the A7IV & FX3 recently! Main lens is 55mm 1.8

[@gilcarvalho]

@@ByteReview Nice! One more question: do you use any LUT? Which one? Thanks again

[@cgpov]

Couldn’t find that iPad mount from that link. Can you post a direct link? Thanks! Great vid!

[@ByteReview]

I can't link to it directly right now but if you scroll down it's there!

[@fohx]

Great set -up :)

[@raycheshire5581]

Nicely done sir! I think I might have gone with two reinforcements on the card so as to avoid / reduce any warping due to our famously iffy weather. Have yourself a lovely week (but do include a feline friend in the next one….please).

[@gr-os4gd]

I was thinking the same thing about the cards. 👍

[@ByteReview]

Great shout for the card, I'll look into it! And you must have missed him 9:27 👀

Nuphy Air75 is the best keyboard ever 🤪

[@ByteReview]

I do like that one!

[@nicolekesselring3398]

Question: (I also have a mac & pc on the same setup and looking for a mouse) since you have a mac & pc how come you got the logititech mouse that is for mac? Wouldn't the normal one easily switch between the 2?

[@ByteReview]

I have the normal one - not the mac one!

What's the white and wood MagSafe charger/holder on the second desk - love it!

[@ByteReview]

It's from Ugmonk, super nice!

what watch are you wearing in the video? love the way it sits on your wrist

[@ByteReview]

Nomos Club Campus, it’s such a nice watch 🖤

[@adamsmith7079]

Do you ever have issues when using universal control? For example, when I use my keyboard from my MacBook pro, it won't allow me to make capitalizations or use punctuation on my iPad. It will type the letters, but no special characters.

[@ByteReview]

I did when it came out but not since it's had a few updates!

[@lovelifelight]

I think I’ve had this issue before. Toggling some keyboard settings on the iPad fixed it!

[@subtoskittle]

Good video

[@HistoryNut-1701]

Your office is kind of what I think a contemporary work-from-home working Englishman‘s office would look like.🙂

@@ByteReview Of course! The changing British styles over the decades, and centuries are global trendsetters.👍

[@donebydom]

Dude I got a question for ya! Moving from PC to Mac have you had a weird thing where the Mac mouse pointer feels way more slippery compared to PC???

[@ByteReview]

Ummm not so much, no? I do use the Logitech unifying receiver rather than bluetooth though, which seems to help

[@donebydom]

@@ByteReview oh that could be it!

My Logitech mouse somehow interrupts Universal Control on my iPad; do you experience that? Specifically it prevents the shift and command keys from working. Turning the mouse off makes it all start working again.

[@ByteReview]

Oh no, I haven't had that? How strange!

[@KJAYG]

@@ByteReview good to know! Maybe I’ll take a look at upgrading the mouse to a newer one. I think Logitech just isn’t patching bugs for my model anymore; I have the Anywhere 2S.

[@shravan8848]

What a great setup ! I do believe one could save a ton of money by not trying to make everything look so pretty. There’s clean and then there’s pretty. Great thing if you can afford it, though

[@ByteReview]

I spend money where I use it the most, and I sit in here for 5-7 hours a day! Haha
