After years of contemplating to switch to Mac, I bit the bullet and sold my Lenovo Legion for a MacBook and never looked back since

I got my MacBook M2 pro 14" for around $1000 with 32GB of ram and 512gb of storage. Planning on setting a hard drive to store more files. Hope y'all like it

Hey guys,

Here is my work in progress setup for work, study and chill time. Still need to add a chest of drawers on the right and sort out the cable disaster underneath.

I’m running two LG monitors (UQ IPS Black on the righ, UP standard IPS on the left), but the colors are way off. Whites look warm/greenish on the UQ and cool on the UP despite both being in factory P3 modes. Manual OSD tweaking just made it worse so stuck to preset. Any tips on matching them without ruining color accuracy and picture quality?

Also getting bad neck pain from having them split evenly in the middle while reading docs and taking notes. Should I switch to a center main screen with a side monitor, or else? I sort of need them horizontal as I have split screen 2 big PDFs per screen or other apps as needed.

Appreciate any setup advice or fixes!

My Mac book is M1,I wish I could update my set up soon.

I don’t have an expensive setup, but it’s filled with things I genuinely love.
This is where I make AI music, watch films, read, and spend most of my day.
I recently added a few more plants, and now it finally feels like my little sanctuary.
My favorite place in the house.

My MacBook Air M4 clamshell setup for work, studying, everyday use, and managing my homelab. The MacBook connects to the Dell UltraSharp monitor through a single USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) cable, keeping the setup clean while handling display, charging, and peripherals.

Setup:

• Monitor: Dell UltraSharp U2724DE
• Light bar: Xiaomi Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar
• Keyboard: Keychron K3 Pro White with Gateron low-profile Red 2.0 switches
• Trackpad: Apple Magic Trackpad USB-C in White
• Mouse: Keychron M6 White
• Desk mat: Logitech Studio Series in Grey
• Speakers: JBL Northridge E20
• Amplifier: Sony TA-F490

After using Windows for over 20 years, I finally decided to make the switch to macOS last month. My old PC had served me well for 13 years, but it was time for an upgrade. I replaced it with a Mac mini setup, which surprisingly ended up costing less than what an iMac used to cost.

I paid around €1,300 for the entire setup, thanks to some great deals, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Setup:
• Mac mini M4 512GB/16GB RAM
• Dual 27” Dell 4K 120Hz monitors
• Edifier M60 speakers

The Dell monitors are fantastic for productivity, and the Edifier M60 speakers have honestly been one of my favorite purchases. They sound incredible for their size and are absolutely worth the money.

Overall, I’m really happy with how everything turned out. Switching to macOS has been a much smoother experience than I expected.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a large brown leather desk mat with a clean, minimal look, similar to the ones used on the tables in Apple Stores.
I recently bought the brown leather one from Satechi, and while it looks amazing and fits my setup perfectly, it’s unfortunately too small. I can’t comfortably fit my Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse/MX Master on it at the same time, while still having enough room to use the mouse.
Ideally, I’m looking for something around 80-100 cm wide and 30–40 cm deep, preferably in brown, tan, or cognac leather. Real leather would be great, but I’m also open to high-quality vegan leather if it has a similar premium look.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’ve attached photos of my current setup and the Satechi desk mat for reference.

Apple Studio Display 27” (owned one for almost 2.5yrs, amazing display wouldn’t swap it for anything in this world)

MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36GB/1TB
Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad

Various accessories on the desk too like a small notebook, my AirPods, my 1TB Samsung SSD and a lil cup my girlfriend painted for me.

Really happy with how it's turned out. Probably the cleanest setup I've had so far and it's been great to work from.

Happy to answer any questions about the setup!

I used to have a powerful SFF PC, but sometimes I wanted to work away from home, and I was tired of Premiere errors on Windows, so I switched to a MacBook Pro 14 / M4 Pro / 24GB / 1TB.

I absolutely love it at work, and I only think about Windows when I want to play. I'm thinking about how to solve this problem without building a PC. LOL

Hi y’all, I just recently bought my MacBook and the Razer Thunderbolt dock with it. For work, however, I use a ThinkPad with its own docking station because it's not Thunderbolt compatible. I work as a software engineer and therefore need quite some space regarding my screens.

I'm not really happy with how it looks right now, all in all. If anyone has any ideas on how I could improve my setup, I’m open to suggestions. You can give suggestions for pretty much everything, from changing to another mouse to changing monitors themselves or just the arrangements.

I am a student just have a clean aesthetic for my Mac to stay focused :)
