hey how's it going Dave 2d here so I've been tweaking my setup at work I used a laptop predominantly and I use a laptop because I traveled pretty frequently for my regular job and I just wanted the ability to remove my computer take everything with me no transferring of files is just take my computer and go because I do it pretty often now the setup that have been using most recently in my office is this it was meant for work but a lot of the components in here are built for gaming I tried not to gain very much when I'm at work I mean it's difficult not to because I have access to a lot of good hardware but I just found this setup to be a little bit messier than it needs to be there's a lot of wires a lot of extra stuff that wasn't using very often so I thought it would try to do something to clean it up a bit and the big thing was this monitor I wanted to go for something smaller this time around and the wired peripherals and the number of peripherals that I had were just unnecessary I wanted something a little bit cleaner and with less clutter so the first thing I picked up was this a vertical laptop son I've never actually used a vertical laptop stand in my regular setup until now and this one's really good it's 23 bucks five-star rating on Amazon it's super sturdy and it'll obviously hold any of the thin and light laptops like any of them back books or XPS laptops but this thing can actually open up to over two and half inches and I've been able to fit like a 17 inch laptop in here like a gaming laptop so you can go pretty wide on this thing and it'll still do the job the branding is lame it's got this omote on branding on one side but the other side is unbranded so you just flip it around and you have this naked side facing you now you have this clean $23 vertical laptop stand if you're worried about air flow there are some laptops out there that are obviously not designed to be closed while running full tilt and if it's sucking in air from the keyboard then don't do this but most devices out there like tend to have airflow that comes in from the side and at the back or vice versa and those will run great on this laptops and the Alienware display I swapped out for something a lot cleaner this one's from LG it's freaking fantastic it's a 4k panel 27 inches but it runs at 60 Hertz so it's obviously not designed for like super hardcore high refresh gaming but it's actually one of my favorite panels on the market right now it's really color accurate right out of the box and it's got USBC support so if you have any laptops that can charge via a USB see it's a single cable that runs the whole setup it also has built-in speakers that actually sound pretty good they're not gonna replace studio monitors or anything like that but if you just want a do that's cleaner and louder than your laptop speakers but without all the wires of power cables and proper speakers these are really good for that and there's also a cheaper version of this display so it doesn't have the USBC feature and also does not have speakers I think it's like a hundred bucks less which is pretty significant considering what you're losing there but the display panel is exact same display and all of those models support free sync for gamers now there's one thing about this monitor that kind of bugs me the marketing material and on their website indicates this HDR 10 feature and it's a little bit misleading it's more of an HDR 10 experience it's not a CR 10 certified it doesn't have a 10 bit panel it's not bright enough for true theater level HDR it comes in at 450 nits but it is compatible with an HDR input like it'll accept an HDR 10 signal and it'll display it better than a lot of other panels because it is super color accurate but it's not an HDR 10 certified panel it's just a little bit misleading of marketing but it's a really good display for the money my only other complaint is that the speaker volume on MacBooks you have to adjust it using the joystick on the front of the monitor you can't adjust it using your keyboard keys ok let's talk about the lamp I normally don't like desk lamps I find them usually quite ugly but I saw this lamp in an Instagram picture and it took me awhile to figure out who made it it turns out it's from Xiaomi like the company that makes smart phones and laptops they make a lamp so this thing's this LED lamp it looks really clean really minimal and it's got this red flat rubber cable on the back that looks super clean I don't love the color I'm probably gonna like Plasti Dip it or use some kind of nail polish to turn it blue but it's just a really good looking lamp now there's an app to this lamp so it actually has this program that you can download from the Google store to change the color temperature and stuff but I was about to download it and there's no way I'm installing this app it needs access to way too much stuff like your freakin contact list and location it's just there's no way I'm gonna install this on my phone so yeah for all intents and purposes this lamp does not have the ability to change color temperature unless you have huge balls ok the last thing I wanna talk about is this headphone stand this thing is nine bucks it's super cheap but it's another four and a half star product on Amazon it's very lightweight I wish it was a little bit heavier but it's sturdy enough for what I wanted to do and it looks clean while getting the job done and there's another version of this made by the same company that also has a wireless charger I tried that thing I do not recommend it the wireless charger is terrible and I think the shape of that thing is just not as nice looking so the cheaper one is better in my books now to round this thing off we have my wireless mouse of choice the MX master 2s we've seen this mouse a lot in my videos it's an excellent wireless mouse and we also have feed Revo keyboards so this thing is called the thing it's called the calibre that's the name of it and it's just a really good keyboard it's really inexpensive it's like 65 70 bucks this is running blue switches they aren't cherry switches they're Oh Tim switches feel slightly different from cherry blues but still a really good switch and just the keyboard is Wireless and mechanical with RGB lighting there's so much alike about this thing and it's a very clean aesthetic with no branding or anything like that like most of the cheap Amazon keyboards that have good switches and stuff have some kind of obnoxious branding this is super clean to go with my super clean setup okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs we liked it subs if you loved it I'll see you guys
