CHEAP Apple MacBook Desk Setup! ($50!)

I bought the absolute cheapest desk setup I could find for my MacBook Air! And it all came in at less than $50!

So what is it and is it any good?

Lets find out!

Stand

Keyboard

Mouse

Speakers

Dongle

Deskpad

Bad Stand (only buy this for people you don't like)

Interesting choice haha... I would just use the MacBook below the monitor though and that would be the whole setup for me.

That 2.1 rating on that keyboard. You really committed to buying whatever was cheap 🤣 nice video Gary!

Binder clips. If I have a cable that I don't want to fall from my desk... I thread it through the handle part and clip the rest to my desk lip. Usually I can't uhhh borrow some of these clips from work. But I'm sure a box is pretty cheap to buy!

I use a Walmart brand ONN mouse with my laptop because I like using a mouse over using the touchpad!

If your laptop speakers suck, get some IEMs. There are really good options at around $20.

I have the same vertical stand, it’s very solid

I bought the open box display unit of M2 MacBook Pro 13 8GB/256GB for $613[including taxes] from best buy. It had 3 Charge cycles. It was a steal and I am loving my MacBook. so ask best buy if they are willing to sell display units. Apple activated standard 1 yr warranty and Apple Care offer for next 60 days if I want to buy. Funny enough apple care costs me 1/3rd price of the machine. XD

Somehow this is the first video of yours Youtube has actually shown me in months.

The speakers on my LG ultrawide monitor are better than those desktop speakers. They do take me back to my early computing days though.

I’m so glad I found your channel.

If you ever decide to get rid of any of your extra tech, please let us know 😂 My wife would appreciate not paying full price for everything

i am confused right now between macbook and windows laptop right now the battery life of mac is amazing and also good for traveling but the real reason is that I always used windows and now finding it difficult to use macos.

That mouse is very similar to the one I have. Yes I know I got it cheap but it works and it's actually a good mouse for the money I paid.

Gary, for a cheap setup ... I think you should have been using the M1 MacBook Air :)

[blousug]

The speakers sound a little bit like what you would listen to from a can on a string 😅😅 but still nice video ❤️❤️❤️

[yomama]

but why is it hooked up to a macbook pro

[westsiderandom]

Help me in deciding.

MacBook M1 air 16gb 512 gb - New
Macbook M1 pro 14inch - Refurbished
Macbook M2 air 16gb 256gb - New

Uses- Everyday day to work, software programming, light video editing.

I don’t like the word “Cheap”. Cheap means poor quality and design and engineering. Maybe “Inexpensive” is a Better word. Steve Jobs said “Build the Best Computer and don’t settle for anything less”. “Always do your Best in everything you do”. Don’t be LAZY.
The same effort goes into building something nice as building something terrible. Always choose the best components when building a computer even inexpensive components. Its about engineering something nice of good quality. Americans work long hard hours for their money so Americans want Best Value Products and NOT Dollar store products that are use once and disposable. If you want subscribers you are going to have to use Best Value Products because thats what people want.
