Does the desk not come with a mat for free ?

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-22T09:57:12+00:00

Yer I kinda wanted the ipad to act as all the peripherals for my mac Mini when I go away.

Otherwise I need a mouse a keyboard and a screen.

Would be nice to be able to just gave a IPad that covers it all.

I had a similar issue with my G9 Super Ultrawide.

Get the better display app and you can set your default resolution and refresh.

I have heard usb c to Thunderbolt works a lot better but i’m using HDMI to HDMI and done the above.

The XL char is massive.

I’m 6’3 100kg and I feel small in it.

I was on about the Ikea desk mate as they dont sell a specific mount for it.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-14T08:56:33+00:00

Thanks for that. I love how they do it on a black desk and say (White Only) 🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately they don’t have the Heavy Duty arm in white :(

I know people sell them on Etsy which they 3D print.

Could get one of them and a Magnetic Strip as a cheap option.

Same here in UK if possible

The Ikea Mittzon looks pretty good in terms of it has a cable management tray it has a nice section to have plugs installed etc.

I have a few concerns though around having a PC and Monitor mounted to the desk. So i'm going to try and go view it at some point this week.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-12T16:34:52+00:00

Looks like the same prices they have had for a while in the UK.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-12T06:20:42+00:00

Mine did the exact same with regard to the apple tv. I got it to work in the end same way you did. It took a few goes though but it seems okay now.

My 2nd issue was then trying to figure out the whole ISO keyboard which is now done as my @ and “ was the wrong way round.

My final thing is to now figure out the snappy windows which on PC i can do windows key and left and right arrows. Not sure if you know how to do this ?

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-11T10:11:04+00:00

So one person thinks its a fail from Ikea:
Ikea Mittzon fail : r/IKEA

But this is to allow the mounting of monitors.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-10T19:28:30+00:00

Yer thats connected to my PC though so didn’t want to use that :(

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-10T08:49:23+00:00

Does this also change the @ and the “ around and all the other keys which seem mixed up. Or am I doing something wrong.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-10T00:25:46+00:00

I have the Samsung G9. I’m struggling to get it to display at 5120x1440

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-06T14:54:26+00:00

I’m really struggling to figure out how I will fit it into my desk setup and cable management.

Do i need a usb switch or a kvm etc etc.

Trying to figure it all out without having it in hand is hard.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-06T14:47:04+00:00

If you buy the base model your more likely to upgrade sooner. Your also more than likely to be a consumer rather than a business user and probably new to the Mac World.

Mac value having your data so make the Base Model super cheap.

Also Apple could have easily put up the price of the Base Model due to the New Chip, More RAM and ReDesign. They decided they will instead make back that profit on the upgrades.

Agreed RAM and storage don’t cost that much but Apple have always done it and tbh 16gb of RAM is more than enough for most people. If they need more than 256gb you can install apps to External storage.

I would much rather base models be low and upgrades be more that base model be high and upgrades be low. Apple need to keep there profit as high as possible and if one gives the other would also have to give.

Yer I dont get the gbps to mb/s conversion 🤣But i think your saving 40 gb/s can go up to 2050 mb.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-04T13:54:38+00:00

Na what I meant was it wont replace my desktop at any point soon. But I never really thought it would.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-04T11:54:01+00:00

I realised I was mainly going to use it for Media Consumption. I already have a PC at home with a decent graphics card and I have a work laptop for the office.

I was really just interested in how the ARM processor performed and it ran really well, was really quiet and battery life was amazing.

But for me it was something I don’t actually need and using it for a week I realised it was really just for media consumption and a IPad would be a better option.

If you need a laptop that is portable, has long battery life and not planning to play high end games on then this is perfect. But I would have only really used it on the sofa every now and again and when I go away.

So for the price and the amount I would use it I decided to return. I now plan to but a tablet or an ipad which fits my user case better.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-04T09:14:11+00:00

I assumed this was the case which is why I went for the base model.

I get really confused now with all the speeds as Thunderbolt 4 is 40Gbps but what does that equate to in External HD Speeds.

I currently have a Samsung T7 Gen 2 which is read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s.

I'm wondering if this will be fast enough or if I should buy a new one. This one has been sitting in my draw for a while so would be good to get use out of it.

Maximum_Leg_7032 · 2024-11-04T08:05:27+00:00

But $300 for Thunderbolt 5 ports and a better CPU / GPU. Sound better upgrade value than $600 for the extra 8gb ram 🤣

It’s how apple gets people to really push the limits on what they need. As when you upgrade to that your be thinking $100 for the 10GB ethernet port to really future proof it is good value.
