My Setup
Sometimes people ask me what my setup looks like for remote work. I decided to try to keep a list of the hardware I’m currently using. Hope you’ll find this useful, somehow.
PS: I will try to keep this up to date, but I won’t promise anything. 😌
How it looks like#
My setup 😌(a little outdated)
I use the MacBook on clamshell mode (closed) because I don’t like to manage multiple screens (sue me) and the screen is already big enough. 😌
Machine#
Its a MacBook Pro 15”, from 2017.
It has a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB of memory and a 2 TB SSD disk.
Its more than enough for a couple of years I think.
Keyboard / Mouse#
Mouse is a Logitech MX Master 3 and the keyboard is a Logitech MX Keys.
Display#
Recently changed to a Dell U2718Q, 27”, 4K, IPS - and it is awesome. 🤩
Headphones#
Currently, I’m using a Bose QC35 II.
It has Active NC and all that. It’s pretty good to listen music and work without hearing my wife calling me (don’t @ me) or someone knocking.
Before that, I had the AirPods 1st generation, but I accidentally washed them - and now they’re dead.
Others#
- Generic Headphone stand
- Corsair gaming mouse pad, similar to this one
- Cable Matters USB-C → DisplayPort cable (see this post about why)
- Webcam Logitech C270 (I use the mac in clamshell mode)
Retired hardware#
- Magic Keyboard 2 and a Magic Trackpad 2, retired in favor of the Logitech MX Master 3 and MX Keys.
- LG 23PM55, 23”, IPS, retired in favor of the Dell U2718Q
