Hey, do I need an antivirus for Mac ? Can I do online transactions without any worry ?

what walpaper is it?

[@eberhwang23]

You left our your chair. What kind of chair is it?

[@blosetterna]

This is the coolest setup i’ve ever seen not gonna lie.

[@Steve-sz4bh]

Thanks for telling the truth blos.

What kind of chair?

[@iVideo1011]

You deserve so many more subscribers! I've primarily been a Windows user for 16 years and haven't used a Mac as my main machine since about 10.5 Leopard. It's been so long that Mac OS now feels foreign to me. However, your stellar content has helped me make the switch to Mac full time again and feel more confident in doing so. Your videos are well written, well researched, unbiased, and welcoming, and is why I recommend your channel to anyone needing to learn anything Mac. Your video on how to setup a new MacBook has been wonderful; I'll be referencing that when my M1 comes in the mail. I thought that I knew enough being a computer science student, but your videos always teach me something new! Thanks for being awesome.

[@ozziekhoo]

Hey mate! Chair?

[@rsan1704]

What’s the chair?

[@Ozzie4Para]

Great video as usual. I like how you do your videos. You get right to the point w/o any unnecessary goofy video introductions which do nothing but waste my time. I thank you for that.

[@wallace1634]

How did you get a magic keyboard with touch id separately from the imac?

[@nverkhachoyan]

I’d really like to know as well!!

[@MineAppleKhan]

@@nverkhachoyan There are probably 3rd party seller like on eBay that might be selling

[@jayaram.ramanarayanan]

I want this desk setup for my work so badly. This is dope.

[@andyjamesurfdoobay2806]

The best thing about this setup is that it saves a plenty of space on the desk.

[@marksapollo]

I want a sit / stand desk but it needs to be a specific size, so I'll be looking forward to your video about it. I didn't know you could buy just the frames for them.

[@martincerny8106]

In Ikea you can buy just frames with engines and in some hobby market ask to make specific desk.

[@marksapollo]

@@martincerny8106 I have searched around and think I found one that would fit. But I'll take a look in the IKEA website too when I have a moment.

[@riccardofracassi]

This looks a fake setup. Where is the storage for all the gd of shooting? Microphone, camera, etc? you are probably using this desk just for surfing the web, not for production

[@miz4532]

Chair name?

[@justgivemethetruth]

What resolution do you get on that monitor? That is not very good ... my 27-inch iMac has 5120 x 2880 res ... and it really makes a difference ... that 1440 vertical res is half that which means web pages do not display very well, or video.

[@edon2005]

Hey, what chair do u use? :)

[@justgivemethetruth]

Nice, but I don't like what you said about plants. If a plant distracts you maybe you have some kind of ADHD ... I mean, come on, really? Technologically that is nice though. It is kind of sad though that even the Mac Minis are so expensive these days, and they really are not that great, but they work for an all around utilitarian desktop machine. Also ... you really need at least 10 TB of disk and backup.

[@MrRobotoDomo]

You can mount the PC below the desk via some brackets, and use the LG Ultrawide Split Screen monitor which will allow you to connect both Windows and Mac simultaneously. You'll still end up with that same clean desk.

[@SandroMacena]

It is amazing! What is the model of that chair and monitor?

[@dant.6364]

I could do without the cat. Otherwise it’s a great setup.

[@iBJanky]

I am also interested in the IKEA desk making/staining process as well. Great video by the way!

[@the_fresh_one6462]

Please talk in your next video about the pros and cons of the monitor. Btw what is the name of the chair in your video?

[@yuan.pingchen3056]

no external gpu, no external storage that has raid 5 redundant capability for video assets, no height adjustable desk, the only one spotting-point is , you have lcd illumination lamp, single LCD monitor is not enough for me, but MacOS has easy to switch virtual desktop by 3 fingers, maybe it's okay

[@jisunu7914]

02:14 hi! whats the ipad stand?

[@samnyark123]

Great video! I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work! By the way, can you share a link to the chair used in this video as a reply to my comment? Thanks in advance for the assistance.

[@andreyzhdanyuk5545]

I ordered the same mount you have. But it’s saying can support up to 32in. I have a 35in LG ultra wide. Can the mount support that monitor?

[@e1retrorampage399]

so clean yet lacks personality. maybe a custom keeb or a intresting deskmat nice steup tho

[@roshimahanta]

Wow. This setup is just too awesome. Minimalism in all its awesomeness! ✌🏼

[@filippusdahlin6403]

Yes looking forward to the video about the IKEA desk making/staining process!

[@gabrielvillarreal2161]

I really do enjoy the amount of honesty I get from these videos. I didn't think I would be saying this, but most tech channels are not straight shooters like this! Love the channel!

[@satekhi2349]

I couldn't find the monitor arm in Amazon UK, can you tell me the exact model number please?

[@richardstephan4337]

What make and model of sit/stand desk do you have?

[@tjarsun]

I love your cat 🥰. And this is a nice spartan setup, I share the idea about if it doesn't serve a function it doesn't belong on my desk.

[@hoangvnguyen4586]

Hi great setup love it! The monitor mount you linked is gloss is there a matt version of this?

[@fasziniert]

Very nice setup! I already bought most of the stuff you recommended, but I have one slight problem. I am using a MacBook Air and don't know where to put it, as I don't want anything else other than the monitor on the desk. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.

[@CreatedTech]

Best thing I can recommend is a vertical stand. It has a very low footprint so doesn't take up much room. We sell one on our store, but feel free to grab one elsewhere: geni.us/vstand

[@GitarisLaperan]

If i were you, of course i dont need a fake plant, just see the right view :)

[@opsgreen5216]

How did you mount the Mac mini under the desk? Did you drill into the table?

[@andy00842003]

Like your setup! Will you introduce your in-use chair?

[@amrithabiju]

Can u make a minimal macbook air desktop setup?

[@comeacross728]

what is the name of the tabletop from ikea and i am trying to get the same kind. thanks!

[@BeneathTheRomance]

this mans really just said plants don’t bring him joy put him on a watch list!!! 🤣

[@justgivemethetruth]

I had the same reaction ... he has no soul.

[@Awsomeness612]

Just wondering what ikea table top did you get?

[@hazenk5393]

I've started to subscribe your channel from only days ago but I truly love all of your videos! I really can't stop myself to watch each of them and all of them really do give me useful and worthy informations Impressed by your deep insight of new MacBook Air M2 and also delighted to see your lovely cat! I'm sincerely appreciated your precious views you suggest to us. it barely happens to me to watch videos so interestingly with English subtitles since I'm non English native haha but it's so big pleasure me to dig into each of your videos! Thanks again! Wish you have great days with your adorable cats and I'll keep look forward to watch your videos! Big support from Korea

[@hsienfromspace]

What’s the length of that table? Is it about 60cm?

[@avikshithlol6440]

Clain your here before 100k suns ticket here👇

[@justgivemethetruth]

are you saying haitch or the letter "h" ??

[@felipe4181]

This is what people should call a really minimalist setup! Definitely nothing else other than what you need … I would probably hide the power cable in the bottom of the desk, but other that that, it is beautiful!!!

[@xe6h]

wtf where do you live that window view is so damn nice

[@Steven_R_]

How do you stain the gerton like that?

[@CreatedTech]

I will make a video on this very shortly!

[@thegarfield6796]

I like how you always show your chin to the camera

[@MeetPatel-ps1hh]

1st

[@YuniorGamboa]

I love this setup So elegant yet simple

[@teemuvesala9575]

Dell ultrawides are the best. I got 3 of them with my Windows desktop machine. Although Mac mini looks great, it just doesn't have the power that I need. I chew up even 16GB of RAM fairly easily. 8GB on MBA M1 is fine since its not my main machine, but I think 32GB is really the minimum for my main machine. Currently using 17.3GB of system RAM and GPU also using 3.4GB of dedicated VRAM. So even 16GB of shared RAM would very likely not be enough for me 😂 And BTW this is without any games or video encoding running in the background. I'm just a heavy multitasker...

[@duck_fx]

Im on my way on building a setup EXACTLY like this, i love minimalism.

[@applepulse]

your monitor is great but i think lg 38inch thunderbolt is better

[@andreatranquilli5719]

Hi! I've got an m1 macbook pro 13 inch 256gb 8 ram. Lately gets pretty hot without stressing it, just few chrome pages open. Is that normal?

[@yadullahkurt2189]

Hi there I have a question . Does it heat up when using the second monitor for M1 Mac Air or Mac Mini?

[@krzysztoffolta4823]

Once again another great video

[@williamsolis1]

That's ya mum's monitor. Haha man takes me back to when my mum got like a beefy hand me down desktop for Spotify and Facebook haha

[@loui7210]

Can I buy anything similar to this?

[@michelluong4419]

Did someone notice his windows? I love big size windows for sunlight! Good video and I like minimalist setup!

[@renev6919]

i wonder if the Lightbar doesnt reflect on the Screen, or make the quality worse.

[@Atulpai2004]

its all minimal and cool till he turns his camera the other way around and that would be real fun lol.

[@daniebello]

does the mini have to be upside down?

[@edcantrell]

I have BenQ Screenbar and 38 Curved Thunderbolt 3 LG Monitor so how did you wake the Screenbar while waking the monitor? Did you plug the USB for the Screenbar to the back of the monitor or to the Mac Mini? (I have Mac Mini M1). My Screenbar is currently plugged into the back of the LG Monitor USB port. hmm...

[@CreatedTech]

Plugged into the monitor. It wakes with my Dell monitors but does not on my LG monitors

[@ivanmalinovski7807]

You really went and made a 10 minute video about having nothing on your desk

[@Daniel-te8xh]

cool Video! Thanks

[@sueskiing]

Will this monitor work with the Mac Mini using the USB C port like you were using it with your MacBook? I have a Dell UHD screen and want to know this before I order a Mini? Thanks

[@Ben-st5si]

Nice video, nice setup but the mic did clip a lot. Bit lower gain next time pls

[@thatswhatshesaid42069]

I want this exact setup. ❤️

[@iVideo1011]

Hey! Just a suggestion: would love to see a video of software you use on a daily basis on your Mac! For example, I was curious what your opinion was on “maintenance” software, like Clean My Mac for example. I’m hesitant to buy software like that because I’m not sure if it’s really necessary, especially on a brand new M1 MacBook. I haven’t used a Mac in ages so I’m pretty much a beginner. Cheers!

[@supercg49]

This is giving me tesla vibes

[@saepiumv3813]

How do you get your mac to project on an external screen while it is shut?

[@daniebello]

an iMac would be much more minimal if you don’t have any dongles

[@je6370]

No plant= no like! Looks good. was baffled when you only had power and hdmi cable into the mini. i have every slot plugged in mine.

[@dotapark]

God I wanna try those vesa mount stuff so bad but my space is too small even for a 13 inch MacBook….

[@tekkenfan01]

All I’ve done lately was add some coasters to my desk

[@mikasiegl]

Which desk is that?

[@kevinseveneleven]

2:25

[@johnosterman494]

Love it! Hey I've got the same Ikea top that's natural still. What color did you stain it, I was thinking of doing the same! Thanks in advance!

[@Hammer_Bear]

How are you finding the monitor arm on a 34"? i have a 34" ultra wide with the pole to the far right of the monitor so it's clean underneath it but im finding im getting a lot of wobble due to the arm being extended out and the weight of the monitor and not really wanting to drop big $$$ on one.

[@youp1tralala]

This is really looking great and a bit diferent than every other KZbinr "dream 2021 productivity desk setup (tm)" ! However, the desk placement does not seem ideal vs the window which cause glare. I'd try with the desk against the window side so you sit in front of the window.

[@arabie2006]

What brand of adjustable desk frame did you buy?

[@marklouieadame]

Wow nice setup very minimalistic and aesthetic i should have upgraded to standing desk. Underrated video content you have

[@jaygreen1181]

magic keyboard spoils everything

[@modoulaminceesay9211]

How big is the table width

[@mpsii]

what was the iphone/ipad stand you had at the beginning?

[@briantse8887]

How did you get the touch id magic keyboard without buying the iMac?

[@gomito2005]

Great Video, full of ideas to inspire, however, I miss a webcam for Facetime/Zoom, do you have any recommendations that might be minimalistic as well?

[@GreeniusGenius]

Logitech Brio looks very good.

[@martinestiva1490]

Hey! Will that have an effect on Mac Mini's performance if it was placed upside down?

[@krishmoule8273]

Can you please share link of hydraulic stand of desk

[@proffesser_s8403]

he kinda sounds like wadzee

[@ZenoxioGD]

What's the size of your desk mat and table top?

[@_tim]

Interesting. How do you find the BenQ light bar on the curved monitor? I have a 34” samsung ultrawide and I’ve been considering doing the same thing but wasn’t sure if it was going to be an issue being curved.

[@CreatedTech]

Not an issue, works perfectly fine!

[@joncurtis19]

Are you Alt Shift X?

[@kz8476]

Serial killer in the making

[@amandeep9930]

In a few days - I removed the monitor from my desk setup because it frees a lot of real estate from my desk.

[@mgaming7]

can't wait to see how you add the gaming pc. Do you feel like you are wasting a 3080 with that particular 60Hz display? why not the LG 38" 38GN950-B 144hz?

[@CreatedTech]

I have a proper 144hz 27" 1ms gaming monitor, although I gave up gaming a few weeks ago. It wasted too much of my time. The 3080 is still great for editing however, which is a huge part of my daily life so still worth the investment for me!

[@senerhayat]

07:59 doesn't these things cause reflections on the screen?

[@ungatodelinternet8597]

Just get rid of the desk to have the ultimate experience

[@monara97]

Nooo.. He's saying "talking head"
