Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

@fivehorizons, whats actually powering it, macbook pro,macbook or mac pro?

Looks great none the less! I actuallyc ant imagine it being any less wireless!

MacBook Pro. I've got it sitting on a small shelf on an m-stand underneath the desk, so everything is (sort of) in reach.

Thanks everybody who commented on my setup :)

usin leopard right? by the way awesome setup

I'm on a Hackintosh.

That is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. :cry:

Hmmmm, I could've waited and bought a Mac, but I bought a PS3 instead. Wise decision? I guess I'll never know. :/

I did the same thing.

I'd love to put my Mac on more prominent display. Do you guys do any work requiring paper on your desk? I notice almost none of you have paper on your desk. Anyone still use this technology and where do you keep it?

Sometimes I print things on my old Laserwriter or my Phaser (whoo for CUPS)...

Seriously though, why bother?

Sheets of crushed and rolled wood pulp = archaic technology

Touching keys to make a nonphysical document = new hotness

Don't think I've posted since I got my macbookpro so thought I would. Sure I could make it look prettier if I was a better photographer.

:) The back of my mac is quite dirty, I usually do take better care of it.

What is that laptop stand? I've love to get one for my macbook.

My desktop has changed a little bit since last time. I now have gone all wireless, with the new wireless Bluetooth keyboard and the wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.

But I still have tons of cable mess...

This is coming from a Mighty Mouse owner: don't even think about getting it. It's terrible, You won't be able to scroll after a few months. :no:

@Crusader69- Nice setup (Y)

Sadly, that's 100% true. Mine has become such a pain. At first I could mess around with it to get it to scroll again, but it keeps getting worse as time goes by.

You can't clean the scroll ball at all?

You can turn it upside down and scroll vigorously (that's what Apple recommends) or you can take it apart. The first option doesn't really solve the problem, just fixes it for a while, and the second one voids your warranty and could damage the mouse.

It's kind of weird, because the Mighty Mouse's biggest strength (a great scroll ball) is also its greatest weakness, IMO.

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
