Wow! I’m supposed to see this as it’s pretty much exactly the same as I’ve built/building. Even the trackpad and Magic Keyboard is on point. I may most mine as well. Awesome setup!

[@prapti274]

Wow!! This is a great setup. This is definitely wonder for software engineers😍

[@intern3560]

You can’t even imagine how useful your video is for me, thx)

[@ShawnCTech]

Glad to hear that!

Great setup, and nicely produced video! Subscribed.

Great setup. I wish you had listed a link to each item described.

Wow you did it! Thank you 🙂

[@lelandhitchcock]

Do you have a list of products used?

[@VisualFrank]

Very nice! I am trying to get used to the vertical monitor but very useful.

[@bin4ry_d3struct0r]

I think this is the first time I've seen a MacBook connected to 3 monitors. I didn't think the GPU would be powerful enough for support. This inspires me to alter my home office.

[@AndrewMcSpadden]

you have to have m1 pro

[@mohammadsakka5831]

Guys tfff for real?? My macbook pro runs 4 monitors

A KVM switch is also a nice option for switching between multiple computers with the same monitors connected…. And you won’t have to put either computer to sleep…

[@ShawnCTech]

Good to know, thanks for sharing

[@CarlosJerus-vk9rk]

Very nice computer set❤

[@kike9315]

Really cool setup! How are you connecting the PC and the Mac to the monitors at the same time and just changing when you turn them on and off? Do you use a KVM switch or a Docking Station?

[@user-xe3xp9oo4d]

Nicely done! What docking station do you use to connect all those monitors altogether?

[@ShawnCTech]

linked in the description, which is amzn.to/4cYAPaK

[@RamdanCode]

Hi bro.. That's awesome. How did you connect mac to monitors while it was closed?? I'm so curious. Thanks

[@ShawnCTech]

Just through cable, when I press the wireless keyboard and trackpad it will awake

[@samuelesdras]

Awesome setup!!! But what did you do to conect three monitors on you notebook?

[@ShawnCTech]

Using usb-c hub or docking station

[@mariednathaliequirion2774]

Is it me, or all software engineer are cat loving people? 😂 Me too 🙌

[@vetri09]

great setup! I really liked it. im a jr front end dev. how to get better at front end? other than doing projects

[@ShawnCTech]

Doing project is definitely useful, and try to build something meaningful for yourself. Besides you can learn a lot from your co-worker as well.

[@Leonitrous]

How do you like the Tré? It looks like your palms would accidentally touch the track pad while typing? I love the idea of having the double strand for the Mac and Tré.

[@ShawnCTech]

I did trouble with accidentally touching the trackpad, then I turn off the "Tap to click" from the setting and problem solved

[@kushagrasingh7731]

Great setup. So you have pc and mac both connected to the monitors through separate cables, and you use a separate keyboard and mouse for both. How do you share the sound bar between both of them, do you have a kvm switch or something?

[@ShawnCTech]

The soundbar is connect to the main Monitor, so I don't need a switch

[@iliketurtles536]

What cable or connection are you using for your macbook for power, input, and video to 3 monitors?

[@ShawnCTech]

I'm using intel chip MBP, so it can support 3 monitors and power with just USB type-c cables

[@mdtamjeed]

Can you share the Keyboard tray link that holds the track pad and keyboard. Also is there a video on it already? Can I use Logitech mx mini instead of magic keyboard?

[@ShawnCTech]

www.etsy.com/listing/783328345, I think you can only use Apple's magic keyboard and trackpad with a snug fit

[@kmetriqs]

Hi, could you please share the Soundbar model?

[@BenbenRed]

Start windows and auto start steam 🙂

[@lisaj9463]

How did you create the column on the vertical screen with the 3 divided sections.

[@ShawnCTech]

That is just 3 different webpage/app

Would you kindly share that PC under desk mount? Many thx

[@dwijchandna]

I'm confused how does the switch work seamlessly? There's only one Display input cable. How is being divided between your PC and laptop? Would have appreciated if you gave more details on your seamless switch setup. I'm still trying to figure out how to seamlessly switch between my windows PC and my windows Desktop on my dual monitor screen. Also I've been thinking about adding a 3rd monitor, but so far I've not yet figure out how to switch without manually plugging in cables from my laptop to PC. Appreciate any help here.

[@ShawnCTech]

All of my monitors has at least 2 Display input port. And I connect them to my PC and Macbook, the monitor will automatically pick the active display input source.

[@dwijchandna]

@@ShawnCTech Thanks for your response. So you have two cables going in to one monitor say HDMI and DP and HDMI is connected to the USB C hub to your MacBook and DP cables are directly connected to your PC?

[@ShawnCTech]

@@dwijchandna Correct

[@dwijchandna]

@@ShawnCTech Thanks a lot. I've been puzzled about how to get it sorted and the solution was as simple as this!. Thanks. I'm wondering if you have any alternative solutions like a toggle or something that can help me switch my 3 monitors between my PC and 2 laptops..
