My New Hybrid Mac & PC Dream Desk Setup 2024

With 2024 winding down, I’m excited to share the final updates to my dream desk setup for the year, sponsored by Vernal! In this video, I’ll cover all the new upgrades that have made a difference to my workflow, productivity, and gaming, as well as content creation for the channel. From a versatile standing desk and expanded side units to a range of quality-of-life improvements, this setup is designed for ultimate convenience and efficiency.

This workspace has been fine-tuned for productivity, gaming, and content creation, with every feature aimed at improving my workflow and a hassle-free experience. The new standing desk allows for seamless transitions between sitting and standing, while the updated side units offer plenty of space for my 3D printers and storage for equipment, accessories, and everyday essentials. I’ve also implemented clever peripheral switching, making it easy to navigate between my Mac and PC setups without unplugging anything or even getting up to switch systems. There is a lot more to be shown, so sit back, grab a drink and enjoy this deep dive into my new and improved hybrid Mac and PC desk setup.

Man, this setup looks so comfortable. Easy on the eyes too

[ege-tech]

I have the same setup, including the X1C, but my room doesn't look as good as yours! Well done—I’ll try to replicate it, especially the shelves!

[ellefizzy]

This is an incredible setup. Highly organized and an efficient use of space. I really appreciate the fact that you are fitting all of this into one bedroom. Many setups that i've seen use entire large rooms which isn't really feasible for some people. Thanks!

"the TV is really old at 4 years"

What comes after "really old" for the Sony I've been using since 2008?

[kmil]

I love it, one of the best setups I've seen recently.

[mikeh.]

Crazy setup! Also, that typing style is ... interesting. :)

[abhishekbhardwaj]

Your setup = my dream setup ....thanks for inspiring to work even harder bro !!!

[alexanderibehre]

Lovely setup. You’ve got everything covered. 👌🏾

[playerongaming]

Ah I like that sound man.
such a great keyboard I also have gaming keyboard, but not like these keyboards. I use my current keyboard mostly for typing work.
I like the Monsgeek M1 HE @ 6:10

[ryanfowlow]

I love that headphone jack extension, great idea!

[dixienormus]

I want one of those bed side phone holders!

[jacoblobo]

I really recommend the Hisense QLED tvs. They have quantum dot so the colors pop, 144hz for gaming, and lots of dimming zones to get true blacks and unmatched brightness. I know oled has every pixel as a dimming zone but the extra brightness makes the Hisense qled tvs look better than oleds imo. They’re also way cheaper than oled tvs too.

Side note, this is my first time watching your channel and I enjoyed your chill presentation and video style. It was really fun seeing your setup and how you matched everything up and kept a great aesthetic. Definitely lots of inspiration for my own setup! Thanks for the coupon code as well, I love the filing cabinet from vernal space. I’ll probably buy it end of this month here.

[dorijancovran]

loving this setup especially the 3d printing station 🤓 any chance you could share a bit more details about the AMS mount for the A1?

[TalesOfWar]

Your rack mount power strip gave me the idea of getting a shallow rack that would fit onto a book shelf to shove a few of those bad boys in and some other little random useful things. I've been meaning to do a bit of a clean up and rejig of the office for a loooong time so that would be kind of useful rather than having those big chunky 8 plug things hanging around with their long ass cables lol. I could probably fit a UPS in there too, which isn't overly useful here where I live as we get pretty clean and reliable power but you never know!

[MaxAnderson-mu]

so many good ideas i cant wait to implement in my own office!

[FoodTechLife]

Nice setup. I wasn’t expecting there to be a bed in that room 😮.

[CallumAFK]

Dude youtube really be recommending me some amazing channels! subbed asap, love the space and I have the best recommended boards for you, either the QwerkyWriter or the Akko MU01 Wooden board!! - loved the video <3

[richMcAllister]

wow, this setup has everything 😮
nice!!

[DaveDRC]

nice setup ! min is similar, but i placed my 3d ptiners (p1s + saturn 4 ultra) in a different room, inside a ikea pax closet with a filter and fan blowing directly out of the window also have tools and other stuff in this room... this gives me room in the room where the desk is... also no unhealthy fumes...

If you’re comfortable with OLED, the Panasonic MZ700/MZ800 is a solid TV for the price. One of the most affordable ways to get into a smaller screen OLED TV, and it has Panasonic’s great image processing. I have a 48” MZ800 and the panel is genuinely impressive especially for the price.
