Yes! I’m a CS student and spent a good chunk of change on a new desk and 4k monitor and my productivity and focus are way up. Having a comfortable work environment makes a huge difference!
Currently putting money aside for the stand up desk. I think that it would such good investment. 🔍Tip for those wanting to get more work done: have a designated spot for your breaks. This desk will be only for work! It will condition you and make things more productive in the long run.
here's an idea: do a desk setup evolution from your early days till now! its inspiring to see this growth because its something we all can relate to. Not all us viewers are ballers like Ali.
I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A SETUP VIDEO FOR MY NEW SEMESTER IN LAW SCHOOL AND I HAD JUST WATCHED A COUPLE OF YOUR OLDER VIDEOS ON THE SAME! THE TIMING OF THIS IS JUST SOOO GOOOOD!! thanks so much for this Liam!!
I didn't spend big money on a mouse but I may still in the future. It is an investment in your future. You will spend a large portion of you computer time with your mouse I'd say spending big $$ on it is worthwhile. Remember that carpel tunnel doesn't happen overnight nor have any symptoms until it's a real problem.
The MX Master 3 is by far the best mouse I've ever used, been rocking that for about 1.5 years and its still great. Battery life is insane, I think I've had to charge it like once or twice so far. Actually received the MX keys keyboard about an hour ago and its awesome so far! Was a little nervous moving from a mechanical keyboard but this thing is sleek and feels good.
Cool to see youngins who grew up with smartphones still keeping it old school with note pads and sticky notes (even though this 35 yr old hasnt touched a pen and paper in years lol)
Hi @Liam - Thanks for your videos. I have always liked them so much!! I am setting up my desk now with two screens and connected to a Mac. DId you have to use a Datalink drive etc to connect two screens to a Mac?
How has a single monitor arm held up so far with two monitors on this desk? I have 2x 27 inch monitors that I wanted to hook together to a single arm, but I'm afraid it may wreck the desk's thin wood layer over time.
Hi Liam. Excellent video. I love the setup you have. Very nice. Quick question: how does your BenQ Light Bar work with your curved monitor setup? Most setups I see for the bar are monitors that are not curved. Are there any glare issues? Truly, how well does it light up the work area on your desk between you and the monitor? I have a Samsung 34" Extrawide Curved Monitor coming this week. I would like to get the light bar but wanted to make sure there were no issues with the curved monitors. Again, great video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hey Liam - been a big fan for a while! Currently applying for TCs in London and wanted to upgrade my WFH setup - How do you connect your Macbook to 2 external monitors? I have a 2020 Macbook pro and it doesnt seem to be compatible with a dual setup. Do you have a workaround? Or is your Macbook a newer version? Thanks!
If I'm just using a computer periodically, MX master would probably not be worth it... But now that I'm getting into programming, I would consider it a wise investment. Same with a keyboard!
what's the name of the playlist that you listen to? I'm trying to look for playlists right now for when I am studying, but I just can't seem to find the right one lol I'm the type of person who gets distracted when there's noise in the background or even music, I lose my train of thought.
Hi Nice setup !! Are you using Intel based Macbook Air with USB C ports or new M1 Macbook air with thunderbolt ports? Does these adaptors you used for connecting monitors work with 2021 Macbook Air M1 with thunderbolt ports?
I think the lights infront of you (ikea and on monitor lamp) increase the stress on your eyes. Most experts suggest to place the light sources behind yourself. What do you think about that?
I love your voice-over narration. I like you owning up to your splurge comment on the keyboard and mouse. Ok, now my question is "what is the depth of your desk, please?"

bruh those 24 inch monitors are budget monitors and they are only 1080p they are like at most 150 pounds
@@yuanloongtay9954 So?
The pain in your voice while justifying the purchases 😂
Ikr🤣
sahi hai
i appreciate that bec makes it feel really worth it and not just some youtuber balling out on a ridiculous unaffordable setup
YES! Welcome to the MX life. In case you haven’t already done so try out the app specific button customisation
Sit/stand desks are amazing. I’ve had one for about 18month now and I LOVE it!
Thank you for the inspiration man. I didnt know there was a way to keep growing and enhance your creativity by changing a few things on your desk.
Love the new Assassin's creed Unity style transitions
11:10
It's very refreshing to hear someone call it a Biro. I haven't heard that in a while. Cheers.
Reading playlist is top top tier, I trust you have a few Nils Frahm on there as well!

Definitely agreed on getting away from your desk in breaks - and I definitely also think a standing desk is a good investment 😊🤗
If i get this kind of setup my dad will be like
“Will u even study or just keep on starring the piece of tech u r having” 😂😂
Who else agrees with me
Facts on top Facts! 😂
'A great piece of hovering flatness' kkkk the phraseology!
Ikea linnmon desk and the lumiy lightblade lamp THE WORLD BEST COMBO

Wejow is this Ali-A, sounds like him from 6 years ago!
If you watch the video in full you’ll see he actually inserts a clip of Ali A, and mentions him, so no lol it’s not Ali A 👍🏻

totally agree 100% i've also been using it for the past 5 months, and i love both of them hands down best mouse and keyboard combo ever!!!
So question. Does it go from laptop to laptop like the keyboard does...??
@@rachael5629 Yes it has a button on the bottom, the mouse can connect to 3 different machines same as the keyboard.
7:22 that wallpaper is everywhere
Thumbs up just for the desk pose alone! 🤣
Nice office setup, and some good ideas to think about. Thank you.
when you laid on the table that expression made my day lol!!!!!!
Goals mate, goals. First thing I’ll be needing is an ergonomic desk chair and desk pad!
I've seen that editing message at 4:46 :D
Yeah me too
It says "question: I think this should be" Usb-A " instead of"USB-B".....
U got the idea
The MX Master 3 Mouse is awesome! I have bought 3 of those since the pandemic for my various setups
Cool to see youngins who grew up with smartphones still keeping it old school with note pads and sticky notes (even though this 35 yr old hasnt touched a pen and paper in years lol)
I do not understand why anyone would ever dislike your videos. You are so intelligent and nice.
Haha! Here it is! These desk tours are just super calming ~_~
I'd suggest you get a USB-C to Dual HDMI adapter so you have one less cable and adapter to worry about, its about 20 bucks on amazon
Looks like a good set up
Mine looks more simple electro desk,mac,monitor,apple mouse,apple keyboard, notice block,pen
Absolutely loving this upgrade
So glad I came across your channel
Thank You! I really Like your reading playlist!
Its just so satisfying to see productivity videos like this
Ik only I only have a simple laptop but it does the job :)
Enjoyed this. Nice to see the fusion of technology and tradition with the Malden.
man he has to pin Ali in every single video
Does he hate ali
@@arnavporwal7377 No i don't think so that's the case he just likes to compare with him
yaa you are correct
Yeah haha, Ali is very well known in the productivity realm so almost everyone is comparing themselves with him xD
reference for easy engagements, see, now we're talking about it
Brooo i love your setup, its change too much since the first setup video!!
Hi @Liam - Thanks for your videos. I have always liked them so much!!
I am setting up my desk now with two screens and connected to a Mac.
DId you have to use a Datalink drive etc to connect two screens to a Mac?
The wooden floor ist nice.
back at the videos, sick setup man
who love this dude channel i love his channel so much
Thank you so so much :)
@@liam.porritt no problem 😉
Great, I wanna Buy That stand Book, I from Colombia, But I don't Have find It.
do you know where you can buy it?
Hello mate! Helpful video. May I ask; why don't you use your keyboard on your MacBook instead of using that external keyboard?
That's stupid amount of money, I love it!
I have the same monitor setup. I put my dock on the far left side which looks really cool.
Keep this up mate, great video!!! Inspiring me forward on my UA-cam journey (and on my productive desk journey)
Love how you kept this solely focused on the exact thing we came for… Your productivity space & products! Great video!
love the monitor set up!
How has a single monitor arm held up so far with two monitors on this desk? I have 2x 27 inch monitors that I wanted to hook together to a single arm, but I'm afraid it may wreck the desk's thin wood layer over time.
staring at a black line in the middle of your field of vision all day. nice.
4:46 what’s a USB-A? btw that message took me about 5 mins to pause at 😂
USB-A refers to the USB type A model. It's the "normal" type of USB - the stuff you see on most flash drives, or or on your mouse etc.
Beautiful setup. Perfect for Trading too.😎😎🤠🤠👌👌
Where is the Herman Miller Aeron chair?
I really love your videos man .Keep up the good work. Best Wishes.
really loved your setup , what's the dimension of your desk ?
I have to work 20 years to buy all these equipments😂
What MacBook are you using to power your setup? What specs?
Love Ali A law vids
your setup is amazing
This guy is burning his eyes in those white lights😂
UA-cam: How many ads do you want?
Liam: Yes
😂😂
Cool setup! I'd be more interested in what drives it all. Which
Mac, how much ram , external hard drives, SSD internal drive, etc.
Can definitely try and do this kinda vid in future 😊
Just bought the same desk based off of your recommendation. I absolutely love it!!! Thank you Liam mate
Bro you listen to sigur ros! That alone is a win!

The pen pot and headphone stand is where it got too much, id like to see a budget version of this video?
$160 keyboard!
(laughs in custom mechanical keyboard)

congrats on your new office. looks terrific.
For moving the mac display on your monitor, if I have one monitor then i can just buy a USB C to HDMI cable right?
what's the name of the playlist that you listen to? I'm trying to look for playlists right now for when I am studying, but I just can't seem to find the right one lol I'm the type of person who gets distracted when there's noise in the background or even music, I lose my train of thought.
I highly recommend the lofi hip hop beats stream from chilled cow
Great workspace.
Is not productive when your desk is not a mess.
tbh now ur setup actually looks better than ali abdaals setup
it looks soo cozy
Try telling Ali that 😂
@@GabrielNussbaum XD, lmao but idk man he already seems a little down tho and haters making it worse for him😢
@@rudralaheri1092 nah I think he’s quality. Basically trying to base my own stuff off him as well !
me a software developer sits on the floor with laptop and monitor
youtube: you want to sit on the desk here are the desk setups
I am curious about the chair.. looking to replace my current desk chair that squeaks like crazy.. does the chair squeak?
good video Harry Potter Productivity!
The touchpad gestures can be used on this mouse?? : o
Sure can!!
Thanks for the great video 🙌🏾 I have an external monitor as well. Have you got any webcam recommendations? 😊
Hi
Nice setup !!
Are you using Intel based Macbook Air with USB C ports or new M1 Macbook air with thunderbolt ports?
Does these adaptors you used for connecting monitors work with 2021 Macbook Air M1 with thunderbolt ports?
10:58 I wish I had vascularity like this
You. . . answered every question I had, even the biggest one about the Mac. 🙏😑(Bow)
I think the lights infront of you (ikea and on monitor lamp) increase the stress on your eyes. Most experts suggest to place the light sources behind yourself. What do you think about that?
I don’t have the light shining at me too much, so don’t think it’s too bad, but I can see what you are saying! Maybe will try a light behind too 😛🤗
The continuous roast against alli hahah
One simple question. Productivity means: Computer = 3000$ + Microsoft Word?
Great video!!! You should post more often, please...
I recommend Microsoft Todo or other alternatives instead of sticky notes and calendars :)
Great vid and setup, btw you’ve got a full on beef with Ali Abdaal 😅
man not gonna lie the last video was good this video looks like you are trying to show off!!!
Such a nice video !! Liam, nice !!
Hello Liam, what software do you use to organise your tasks/to do list on your computer ? Thanks
Nice video 📹 👍. Is it possible to connect the mouse, and keyboard directly into the monitor?
Great production value on this one
Great video, very inspirational setup. Do you use a webcam within this setup?
I love your voice-over narration. I like you owning up to your splurge comment on the keyboard and mouse. Ok, now my question is "what is the depth of your desk, please?"
bro !! do you need all that to work?
Nice desk!
Good stuffs 👌🏼
Hey Liam, what Samsung monitors are those
I suggest getting the Duronic keyboard tray on Amazon for a cleaner table top experience
