laptop desk setup makeover + tour | minimal & aesthetic (but on a budget)

hi everyone! this is my first video with a content xD!! i don't know if it's okay doing voiceovers (but please excuse my voice). this video took me a lot of time in production but i guess it's all worth it. hope you guys enjoy this one!
ps. most of my devices are cheap especially the laptop and monitor since they're a preloved one but still functional. (hope they will last long tho)
pps. can't post links of some the products in the setup since i bought all of them in some local stores here in the philippines.

[@wazjoony]

really like your setup! its simple and very functional. Hope you make more of these videos in the future, they're really relaxing to watch :)

[@jayce.journal]

thank u so much !

[@yashtiwari7312]

hii @wazjoony , love your videos man , keep it up

[@user-oi3ph6so3r]

The most budget setup I`ve ever seen) But also most minimalistic.

[@jayce.journal]

thank you!! the whole setup doesn't actually cost more than 300 bucks so yeah it's literally on a budget hahah!

[@yvonnechona9843]

​@@jayce.journal even the laptop

[@ashvinpkumar574]

The ThinkPad ✨✨🤌

[@paparapto]

If you bought anything online, you should leave links in the descriptions; so more people on a budget can look for options. Good video btw.

[@jayce.journal]

hi! thank you for the suggestion~ will take note of that

[@AdityaWadikar-vc6wj]

Hello, This looks cool and ambient. I like the contrast of both black and white. Also in editing, you used white bg and black text. that's actually cool. Keep Up ! Kudos to your yt channel.

[@jayce.journal]

yo! thanks for that! truly appreciate it :)

[@thegaminggambit2089]

I love how simple your setup is.

[@EchKay97]

It is beautiful and clean . And it is really on a budget ❤

[@jus]

clean and a dope vibe in the video

[@Riggy931]

This gives me such cozy nostalgia. I used a thinkpad x220 in 2016 when I was a freshman in CS.

[@jayce.journal]

that's good to know man! glad the video brings back good old memories. im still using the same model till now. i even completed my sophomore year with it. tho i wish to upgrade to a newer model before i graduate hehe. thanks a lot btw ! 😉

[@Riggy931]

@@jayce.journal haha i feel you wanting something new. As a tech nerd, it’s a constant battle. The thinkpad T14 looks real nice, though some people have claimed they’re not as high quality as the older models. Nothing wrong with making due tho, I’m sure that 470 would stay strong for you until you graduate if you choose to keep using it. Have you tried running Linux? And thanks for the good content man! I subscribed. I moved away from my PC hobby, and been thinking about building a new PC soon. Looking forward to new vids.

[@socksou]

This is so calming :)

[@jayce.journal]

thanks! :D

[@Rafael-kx6qu]

I think that the keyboard lights can be turned off, try some shortcuts like fn+f2 or FN+space. Btw, the mouse performance can be increased if you use the dongle interested of Bluetooth.

[@aliaulman]

This is sick! I also love to match things, and how did you go with ThinkVision monitor and ThinkPad It's just great. I also love how you don't attach or depend on the apple product at all. Most desktop setup these days always included iMac or MacBook which is pretty boring. Oh I also owned Baseus headphones. Great choice for its price. Keep it up!

[@DamianForReal]

YOOOO that setup gave me inspiration to build one like that myself!! Apperantly (according to ChatGPT) the qualoty output is monitor dependent, so my screen would get an update, mega thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@jayce.journal]

sounds great! glad that inspired you with this. thank you so much!! best of luck with your setup 😊

[@divyaakashdutta4038]

For better mouse performace, use the receiver. Bluetooth on mice, especially budget mice is always unstable.

[@lizlizlizoo207]

kai notebook vibes fr

[@jayce.journal]

thank you so much! glad u like it :>

[@aumpatel7599]

true

[@crimsonangel114]

man,hay bases oficiales multipuerto para las thinkpad,a mi me gusta mas asi porque es solo llegar y poner la laptop,igual para quitar es presionar un boton y no son muy caras

[@mustafoxie]

ain't no way you got Zelda on thinkpad thats craazy!!

[@kings7uk_dutta]

It really looks very aesthetic! Can you please link the monitor?😄

[@zahinarman24662]

using the dongle with the mouse will give better performance i think

[@jayce.journal]

already did that! and yup, it works like a charm!! :)

[@yunier11]

nice video, it looks minimalist i like ur setup

[@davidcollins465]

Try using the receiver for your mouse, you may get better performance!

[@jayce.journal]

thanks for the tip!! i've tried it and it definitely gave me better performance than using bt :>

[@AestheticLina]

Love the color and minimalism💚🤍

[@gengenG]

bro put the lotion on the side too, RESPECT

[@Marcus-gw4bb]

Great minimalist desk setup and that T470 still looks so good. Although why is there a lotion bottle on your desk?👀

[@jayce.journal]

thanks!! that's actually a hand sanitizer lol 😂

[@towsifbillah834]

I'm planning to buy a monitor in a few months :3

[@jayce.journal]

nice! make sure to buy the best for your usage :D

[@Tom-xw8qm]

Your setup looks good. Very simple, and of course i like the thinkpad :)

[@jayce.journal]

appreciate that!

Nice table :3

[@arishrauthan4588]

[@Noticyed]

ay lenovo t480?? if im not wrong the thinkpad is good

[@jayce.journal]

it's a thinkpad T470s, which kinda similar to the T480. Got it couple months ago for a very fair price haha!

[@jitinplays]

yo a tip for u, if u have money buy a laptop and monitor in 1 stand looks way better and u can hide every cable ,also pickup a chaep boom arm for ur mic ,🙂

[@jayce.journal]

boom mic is on the list! will try a monitor mount only since i switched to using desktop for my main driver :>

[@firdaussalim]

bro, would you mind share the setting for the emulator, I have core i5 8th gen, and it's lagging as hell

[@EchKay97]

How about the performance of the laptop bro? Good for programming ??

[@jayce.journal]

hi! yes it's good for me as a student somehow :>

[@Fmrn_mc]

Dude you own a pc, that laptop is a pc, did you mean desktop? Clean setup btw👍

[@James-uk6hs]

if you need to maintain a portable laptop consider getting a USB 3.0 Hub. just make sure it's compatible w/ your Laptop

[@jayce.journal]

yo! this is a great tip! it was really hassle for me to unplug each cables connected to the ports when i need to go and plug them again at home. i am actually looking for a type c hub rn so thank you for this!!

its really budget makeover, Love it

I also have a I 5 6th gen laptop, and I see your running windows 11, mine can't because of the specifications are you using tiny 11?. BTW love your vids

[@jayce.journal]

hello! intel 7th gen below aren't really upgradable to win11 so i just kinda install a copy that accepts any device without requirements. tho i have all the requirements checked it's just the processor that hinders me to properly upgrade.

[@BaymaxIsBig]

@@jayce.journal okay cool, I also got tiny 11, my cpu is the reason I can't get windows 11 too, i5 6300u😭😭

really cool but i would recomend a monitor arm with a laptop holder, like from ikea

[@jayce.journal]

yeah! but i don't use my laptop as the main driver as of now. so maybe ill try a monitor arm mount only 🤔

[@agushacevoces]

@@jayce.journal you can try a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. since DisplayPort and HDMI are both digital signals, no conversion to analog (VGA) is needed, which implies a bump in quality! you can squeeze that Think Vision a bit more, I believe 😊 great video, btw.
