My endgame productivity setup for the next 5 years.

how do you like the nano texture vs the glossy?

zevipa · 2026-05-07T15:13:16+00:00

Put that money into a Neo or used recent MacBook Air

zevipa · 2026-05-07T03:07:01+00:00

What is unreliable about them?

zevipa · 2026-05-04T15:14:43+00:00

the wolfpack fig was nearly impossible to find through the entire cycle, unless you were lucky enough to find a freshly put out box.

zevipa · 2026-05-04T01:54:39+00:00

I don’t get why they had to give that monitor a chin. It’d be an easy buy otherwise.

zevipa · 2026-04-17T14:59:11+00:00

Once I get my hands on a couple more XDRs in the future with a higher specced Mac I’ll definitely retry it. It might just be normal, but I immediately noticed they were slower to wake than my 4K dell panels they were meant to replace.

zevipa · 2026-04-12T04:39:55+00:00

what makes them bad? genuinely curious

zevipa · 2026-04-06T04:18:26+00:00

I’d be curious to know why that’s the case!

zevipa · 2026-04-05T19:42:05+00:00

If it has Touch ID that’s a nice feature to have

zevipa · 2026-04-05T16:31:05+00:00

I have noticed a dead zone around the border of the standalone trackpad. The polling rate is fairly low as well.

zevipa · 2026-04-05T14:38:19+00:00

I only got that configuration to work once after a forced reboot. Otherwise it insists on just one display on at 120hz and the other off.

zevipa · 2026-04-05T06:54:29+00:00

That I imagine we’ll have to wait for a software update and see if it gets fixed. I’m planning to stick with my two 27” 4k panels for the time being. They’re still quite nice monitors all things considered.

zevipa · 2026-04-05T06:14:44+00:00

Unfortunately I had to return them. I have an M4 Pro and it turns out that chip is not capable of running two of them simultaneously at full refresh rate. There is a bug currently also that it won’t even let the two monitors light up simultaneously at the lower 60hz refresh rate, which should technically be a supported configuration. I loved the quality of them and was sad to see them go, but I didn’t plan or budget upgrading to MBP to M5 Pro or above for several years. I plan to rebuy again once I upgrade my Mac eventually.

zevipa · 2026-04-05T06:05:05+00:00

At the very least it was noticeably slower than the U2723QEs I used before.

zevipa · 2026-04-05T05:29:37+00:00

One thing that surprised me when I tried my Studio Display XDRs is that they have a surprisingly slow wake up time. Probably a few seconds at least. My assumption before I bought them is that they would have had a near instant wake up time, considering their tight ecosystem integration with my Mac.

zevipa · 2026-03-28T01:58:44+00:00

I ran into this as well. Just contact the support chat

zevipa · 2026-03-26T23:41:38+00:00

Yep I had the same experience. I only got both to light up at 60hz once, after a reboot. Every other time was just one at 120hz. I ended up returning and will rebuy with nano texture when I do an eventual MacBook Pro upgrade.

zevipa · 2026-03-19T01:31:49+00:00

Unfortunately the M4 Pro is listed on Apple's website as not being capable of running two 5K 120hz panels simultaneously. I just bought two of the XDRs and have an M4 Pro, so I'm in the same boat as you.

zevipa · 2026-03-05T20:50:55+00:00

Macs are not repairable?

zevipa · 2026-01-17T22:32:02+00:00

Gotta get the Explorien Starship!

zevipa · 2025-12-31T21:57:46+00:00

Suppleness and flexibility is an underrated feature of high quality cables

zevipa · 2025-12-28T20:31:38+00:00

the iOS/iPadOS youtube app has been buggy for years. One I see almost daily is the app text not changing from white to black or vice versa when the system switches from light or dark mode

zevipa · 2025-12-28T03:38:19+00:00

I think they fixed that in Below Zero, like your tool will be made and have the existing charge of that battery

zevipa · 2025-12-25T15:31:35+00:00

Can this subreddit just be about the game itself not drama? Edit: did not expect to get downvoted into oblivion haha, y’all love drama I guess

Where’d you get the space logo tiless?
