You are good bro

[@bigiluma]

Hi, great vid. What’s the name of the desk called?

[@Asimplecraftsman]

I'm a software engineer and use Windows daily for work. I actually prefer it. I'm able to run code perfectly fine.

[@AhmedEtefy]

You are one of a kind ;)

[@GlennLopez]

​@@AhmedEtefy Windows is better for engineers (; Cant run a CUDA, Xilinx, or PSoC IDE on OSX (even when VMed). Altium, uVision, SolidWorks, also have issues running in VM. OSX just aint engineer friendly

[@jupamoers]

Look up some cable management videos. They use zip ties, raceways and stuff like that^^

[@AhmedEtefy]

Thanks for the tip! Will look into it 👨‍💻

[@julianaserrano4157]

I love your setup, it is quite modern and minimalist! However, I would like to know which desk mat you used since it looks very comfy! It would mean a lot! Thank you!

Any particular reason you went with a 34" curved monitor for coding over a 38"/40"/49"? The 49" is, like, 4ft wide (LOL) and that would be great to have 3 windows across giving you coding, debugging, and testing. But then I'm also a photographer who's getting into drone work as well, and the vertical resolution on those ultra ultra wide screens aren't even really 4K unless you split the screen. The 34" just seems too small coming from two 24" IPS monitors side-by-side. I don't like to use my laptop as a secondary screen.

[@AhmedEtefy]

Oh that's cool! Which does your setup look like? My choice to go for the 34" is solely based on how big my Desk is! The 34" Curved monitor is around half the size of my desk (maybe a bit bigger actually), and I wouldn't want it any bigger than that for aesthetic reasons lol! That being said, when I eventually upgrade my desk, I will probably go for either a 38" or 40"!

[@lynneftw]

@@AhmedEtefy The size based on esthetics is perfectly understandable! My desk is a large mid-century wood desk that's around 33" deep and 60" wide. My two 24" monitors take up much of the desk. I'm considering a sit/stand desk that's 6ft long and 30" deep, so I don't want anything any smaller than the monitors I have, but I haven't found a good 38"-40" IPS monitor that professional photographers would use themselves yet.

[@AhmedEtefy]

Yeah you’ll love the sit/stand desk once you do .. you’ll legit think how did I not have this before xd I’ve got a friend who does all sorts of photography and swears by the BenQ EX3501R. Not sure if it’s 38”/40” though, I think its 35” afaik

[@lynneftw]

@@AhmedEtefy I'll check out that monitor. I know of the BenQ brand only by the dozens of "my desk setup" videos using the light bar, but I can't justify the price when other brands make the same thing?

[@AhmedEtefy]

That’s a fair point.. I would investigate as well if that extra money is for something significant or if it’s just unreasonably priced for what it offers back

You salty about the Windows jab xD?

[@youssefadel94]

Yes you apple fan boy 😂

[@gabrielribeiro9399]

All those desk setup videos with a macbook as the computer always look the same, the macbook, the monitor on an arm, the apple keyboard, and maybe a different mouse and chair..

[@AhmedEtefy]

And what's wrong with that?

[@elitkislot]

Everything is perfect, except cables)))))

[@AhmedEtefy]

Haha thanks! Working on an awesome solution for that .. will share soon :)

[@ninjatao2024]

Lolz. That part of curvatures of monitor is so funny... Flat monitors caused damage to ur eyes..? 🙄🙄🙄

[@AhmedEtefy]

Haha! Yes it’s not the best for your eyes!
