Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Hey :)

Here's my simple Uni setup. MacBook Pro hooked up to a Dell 23" monitor. This setup is very flexible, I can use the laptop at school during the day and work during evenings on a bigger screen.

I see that you are using a MX518 with that setup, try adding SteerMouse to that & you are gonna thank me for the flexibility it will add to your mouse.

You're supposed to post a picture in this thread not just describe it ;)

Oops, I thought it was just discussing the hardware here, here is a picture anyway, it looks slightly on one side but that must be my terrible photo skills haha:

Yeah! How amazing is that?! Lol...

In all seriousness though, my keyboard and trackpad were continuously migrating across my desk because I kept pushing them away during normal usage. They would start off right in front of me but after and hour of work each end up underneath a different corner of my iMac. Especially a problem with the trackpad. Their combined weight is enough to keep them steady on the desk. (Y)

I really wasn't too sure about getting one as I read in reviews them not getting the I beam in, keyboard/trackpad wobbling, being unable to click the trackpad etc. But so far none of that turned out to be true for me. Next to that Apple promised a refund if anything was wrong with it so I really didn't have anything to loose.

I just recently sold my 10 month old PC, and purchased a MacBook Pro mid-2012. Loaded it with the 2.9Ghz core i7, 750GB HDD (Now currently running a 120GB SSD), and 8GB of RAM.

And this is my happy space:

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
