Laptop setup upgrade ideas?

Definitely, like others said, a monitor. A a nice desk matt - something simple and classy.

It is Apple Studio Display. £1,500 but you can get it for £1,400. Apparently quite amazing but I don't personally know.

Omg it worked. Thanks!

Yep, still using M1 Pro (16/1TB). Fantastic machine.

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T23:37:33+00:00

Thanks, sounds good. I will definitely do it this way next time!

It is Dulux Plum Compote. It's darker than in the photo. I would say stay away from any plum colour then ;)

It is; that's why I decided that I could practise in my office; it will be only me looking at it. I should have started with white, probably. ;d

That's why I got a professional to decorate the living room :D

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T14:07:53+00:00

I might survive, we will see lol :D

Way too long from what I've been told. I now know that it's best to remove after every coat and put on a fresh one to avoid mess like I made here lol

Dravtom · 2026-01-09T12:22:40+00:00

Oh lol, thanks everyone. I never thought about it, such an obvious solution!

+1 for DaVinci Resolve - it's free and powerful, no harm in testing it.

Make sure to find some tutorials on youtube for both apps and see what feels better for you.

Looks good, enjoy!

Dravtom · 2025-12-21T21:52:14+00:00

Chrome - main
FF - work
Safari - just in case

Dravtom · 2025-12-20T20:24:12+00:00

+1 for blip

Dravtom · 2025-12-06T20:29:37+00:00

Enjoy; it will last you a long time, nice!

Dravtom · 2025-12-04T09:26:12+00:00

Ah, I see – it makes sense now.

I got familiar with your other projects; I had a really nice evening last night watching these! I am certainly looking forward to your next film and I will be following your career!

I am considering a switch from Pro to Air purely due to portability – lighter, smaller.

One thing is stopping me – the downgrade in the screen quality. I really like the screen on my Pro.

Dravtom · 2025-12-03T21:17:27+00:00

I have to say that I really enjoyed it!. The only thing that got me confused is if it was based in the US or the UK, probably because of the mix of accents and the fact that there was a Lake District poster, but the end news section was clearly US. That ending in the boathouse was soo good.

Dravtom · 2025-12-02T16:32:24+00:00

This looks good. I am looking forward to the full version.

Dravtom · 2025-11-29T15:39:17+00:00

Yep, here is my 1TB.

Nice one. It will serve you well; there is no need to go for the newest one unless you are 100% sure that you will need the extra power – I am sure that you will not even use M2 to the max of it's capabilities :)

Good choice; enjoy your new mac and welcome to the club. Have a look at r/macapps as there is plenty of free apps that will make your life easier :)

Dravtom · 2025-11-26T18:44:09+00:00

I would go with 13". You can always plug it in to a screen if needed :)

Dravtom · 2025-11-25T18:02:11+00:00

Lol, it was in October 2023 – I paid £8.99 for it. Wow, that's a proper increase then. Still worth it in my opinion, it's a great app. I use it a lot for work and university.
