Haha. 2:03. Quickie finished. That's his whole day of work.
Here is a dun fact, his work is literally to rearange, think it over.
he's a vlogger, not a computer guy, nor an artist or designer. his 'desktop setup' arrangement has been around for 2 decades, when most of you virgin geeks were still in diapers. no biggie, kids.

Seriously refreshing that you simply get to the point without wasting time to get to the 10 minute mark. Also, I liked and subscribed only because you didn't tell me to and treated me like an adult. Thank you for your top tier content, David.
I love how you talked about everything at the beginning. I love videos like this, but I tend to just check the links for the products instead of watching the whole video.

I saw many video about desk setup... But this is my all time favourite... And inspired from this video.. And set up a minimal desk setup.
I had an hp laptop... And normal table only before i watch this video..
After the video watch... I purchase a mi 5x tv, ergonomics chair,hdmi cable, an arm mount, a laptop stand and converted into a monitor arm base,
Finally i made a simple and usefull desk setup.

When I had two laptops on the same desk I used to have them both closed-up in the far corners of my desk for neatness. I used my logitech wireless keyboard and mouse to switch between the two. The novelty was the dual monitors. Because there were 2 display leads from each laptop into discreet sockets on each monitor, I could click the monitor buttons and choose one screen per laptop, or both screens for either. So I could "monitor" one laptop, whilst typing into the other. I did have to colour code my windows-desktops so as not to get mixed up :)
The more you try it to be simplified and compact, the more it looks complicated and generic. I love your previous setup tho.
There is no point in being "original" when it comes down to your own comfort. If generic is comfortable, generic is great.

Don't worry I stumble and trip over everything in my room in third floor victorian house while ducking so as not to bang my head on the dormers. To get at stuff is usually an hour of moving everything form one side of the room to another. after that I have to move it back to cook dinner. LOL.

Nice detailed info David. Got a lot of tips from your video.
I love your set-up, brother! So awesome to be working at home with that kind of office setup.
Instead of buying a USB switch and pressning a button each time you want to switch between the laptop and the pc. You can instead use a program called Multiplicity where you can switch between the laptop and pc flaewlessly with a hotkey or swiping the mouse to the chosen side as if u were using a dual monitor setup. Multiplicity also transfers audio between the computers. It really is amazing
Dayym what a clean setup!
Really? Cable management is horrendous
going down the rabbit hole of desk setup wars... Forgot about the actual work that has to be done.. good stuff!
Couple of questions please ?
1. what TV are you using? isn't it very reflective and straining on the eye ?
2. Did you calibrate your TV for color accurate work ? Most TV's are not able to display the full sRGB spectrum. how much color gamut does it cover?
You can buy a 98% sRGB 4K TV, its enough for most of us. The only problem with the tv is the pixel ratio, its not easy to buy a 4:4:4 tv, and it cost much more.
The USB 3 switch is a game changer, I have been using 2 keyboards for years. I cant believe I didnt think of this
You could use Synergy and use mouse and keyboard on both computers at the same time seamlessly, I believe it even allows for copy-paste and file moving between devices
I came down here to mention this too. I have a desktop, work laptop and another old laptop powering my non-smart LCD TV. with Synergy I set the desktop with the keyb and mouse as the server and can then move my mouse from the laptop screen , thru both screens connected to my desktop and onto the TV in one seamless motion. It's fantastic. Being able to copy and paste between all 3 machines is also invaluable. P.S. Any screen the mouse is on gets keyboard input as well
2:33 if you use a laptop as a stationary PC use a laptop manufacturer software to limit battery charge level. For example, for Acer laptops there is a software called "Acer Care Center", which limits charge to 80%.

Notice my ergonomic mouse, my elevating desk so I can stand and get the blood flowing again. And to round it all off, the smallest most cramped keyboard ever sponsored by carpal tunnel syndrome.
i work from home having my personal desktop and a laptop from the company where i work and this usb switcher is one of the best things that i bought for my setup
Thank you so much for the suggestion of using the KVM, but using the different ports on the monitor with a direct input each from the laptop and desktop. I was looking at much more expensive KVMs that would carry the visual signal. The cheaper KVMs would have caused a visual downgrade.
Nice and clear and to the point, David. No pfaffing around. Appreciate the share and have sub'd.
Nice setup, I'm looking to make something similar. A little tip: you can use something like VNC viewer to connect to your laptop all wireless. This also allows you to easily copy over text from your desktop to laptop and vice versa.
Can you use your laptop as a separate screen that is different than what is showing on the monitor? Or will the laptop screen only show a duplicate of your monitor?
@@KingRockets yes you can, you can either extend (show different), duplicate (show the same) or show only on monitor 1 (turns off laptop display and only uses the external monitor)
i love every single thing from this setup. so clean and practical.
Thank you for this! I’ve had a macbook setup for years. Time to upgrade to a cleaner look.
0:22 this is the legendary mouse! g602! both with g604 they are one of a kind! logi should remaster it, with same design but extened func(scroll side buttons) and 1GHz polling rate
Finally recommending something useful. Thanks UA-cam
This is a 2 years old video , but still , i think it's a great setup even in 2020 , the UGreen USB 3.0 Switch is amazing , i bought one , thank you
The MX Master can also be used wirelessly with a logitech unifying receiver.
Looks simple but complicated if not messy.
Hey David, amazing content as usual! Quick question - does the weight of your huge screen exert so much pressure on that particular point of the table top & cause it to warp over time? I know there's a metal brace somewhere underneath, but I'm sure it's somewhere further away from that point you mounted the monitor arm. Does this make sense? 😅 I use a monitor arm (for 9kg ultrawide) on those cheap Ikea tops & the table got warped out of shape badly 🤣
He got an expensive desk I guess
Just a question. You have an eletric ajustable table. What about the cables and your pc? What happens to them when you lift the desk up?
I love this.
Also i didnt even know there were things like a peripheral switcher
Your combination is original but from my point of view, a full keyboard and a docking station for the laptop is the simplest way and I use it at my work. I use cloud storage for my documents (on my NAS), so at home I only use my desktop, no need to connect my laptop with everything else. Getting rid of one computer lets you really concentrate to your work.
you have a very calming voice :)
That wallpaper is cleannnn
Loved the setup, i´m gonna try to copy it a little. How did you manage to charge the Dell XPS15 thrue the USB type C? I have the same laptop, and it wont charge thrue the thunderbolt port.
The xm3 mouse supports bluetooth as well as 2.4g wifi connection though. It uses the unifying receiver as well. You probably know this already but since you mentioned the latency of it, I thought it's worth mentioning.
TV should never be used as a monitor
Why?
Maybe input lag?
Depend on what you use it for.
Monitor designed to be used at close range, TV designed to be used far away at your couch, ===> you can still use TV at close range, and slowly destroy your eyeballs
@@alexandralefish4236 tv monitors and pc monitors are not designed for either close or far range , the only reason that they say that is because the pixel density for images is not a factor when far range on tvs but it is not because they are designed for distance but only to explain why resolution is ok in ceratin distances and all monitors are the exact same to your eyes they all need calibration with a color and image calibrator, no matter what screen weather it is small or big you destroy your eyes if not calibrated.
His set up: you only see this in TV
Meanwhile My set up reflects most of the reality cases :
- gaming wired mouse with no bungee( I use some heavy book instead)
-No external display ( bc im broke af ) I use an empty fruit casket instead to elevate the laptop and as a cool pad
-I have a budget keyboard I put on my lap when playing (as there's no space for it on the table)
And lastly and most importantly I use a towel to cover my set up after finishing using it so it doesn't get dusty
kinda same, but I stopped gaming until I get a better laptop or pc
Synergy solves the problem with using one keyboard and mouse with two pc
Linus Tech Tips!
Only if both devices are running.
If he is working on his Laptop, running the Desktop PC just to share the Keyboard and Mouse would waste a lot of power.
If he is working on his Desktop PC, he doesn't need to plug the Laptop in.
Great setup. I'm trying to solve the same problem, and I had not considered using a multi-input TV with a remote to switch. I need to see of proper computer monitors can use a remote.
Synergy is a great product, but I don't see how it makes sense on one monitor. Synergy allows you to mouse across multiple monitors that are attached to different computers. He is using one monitor. Synergy sends mouse clicks and keyboard taps to the computer that has the monitor with the cursor. One monitor? I suspect both computers would see the same keyboard and mouse at the same time.
There is another use case where it falls apart. When I bring home my work laptop, I can't be on a VPN to work and my local network at the same time. Synergy must be able to reach both networks.
Oooh ugreen controller bought it a couple days ago works like a charm
Hi I recommend you to try Synergy to control everything with a single mouse and keyboard.
Synergy has been around for 2 decades when you were still in diapers, kid. You're not recommending anything new, kid. 2 decades ago might have been a recommendation.

what happen to ur old stuff? Those edifiers dell monitors?
Still have them. I actually switched my speakers shortly after this video. Couldn't stand the tin sound from these tiny speakers. Wasn't worth the space savings (which was the original reason I popped the edifer back in). Still loving my large 4K monitor so the dell is on backup right now.
David Zhang omg u replied! Your very cool !!! I also have a dual monitor setup (inspired by u) I have the dual dell monitors but the cheaper infinity 27 inch 1080p ones and a pair of edifiers r1700bt speaker also the mx master and the same monitor arm!! I am only 16 and it took me a while to save up for the whole setup but I am very happy u got me the inspiration. Thanks for the inspiration! Good luck on ur channel wish u go big someday!
That a very elegant setup.
You can use 2.4hz wireless for the MX master though
I'm switching from a laptop to a desktop computer but I still want to use it. I'll take these choices into mind

De arm is 265 euro. Dus reken maar uit
Well done man. That's a badass setup. I got some good tips out of it!
Thanks for video, nice done! May I know which arm are you using to hold your 43'' TV?
I thought that using tv like that is so bad for the eyes, unlike monitor they are meant to be used from a distance
I tried my LG6300 and the edges are curved and distorted and the bottom half of the task bar is missing. Couldn't fix it playing with settings. I opted instead to go with 2 Dell 2717H monitors at a good price. I think it may be related to how the XPS 13 deals with external video. and 16:9 aspect ratio is not the same as the internal screen, maybe? It works fine with my insignia 32" in game mode though. so Part of it is an LG issue. Not worth my time to fiddle with it. I know the LG is not in 1080 mode and thinks the signal is a 4K signal it is receiving which may have something to do with the XPS 13 seeing a 4K monitor (The machine is not a 4k machine its the XPS 13 i5 with 1080 sacreen).
