The Perfect 2017 MacBook Pro Setup

2017-06-18
Topol just dropped brand-new MacBook Pros this month automatic approach B without the perfect MacBook setup so the desk is the rig asada rigas sad riga stan from ikea like usual i am butchering that name so if i'm wrong please please correct me to this death strange enough I actually found outside the office and death section in IKEA for whatever reason I've had a ton of luck finding really really cool desk in the dining section this guy's got a nice stealthy black look to it it's clean its minimum something you'll normally see every day with a desk it has six legs now because the desk is so stealthy and so minimal I kind of wanted to follow suit with that for the rest of the setup the plan here is space great X that complements the desk and they're not thrown on a ton of crap that you don't need now for the MacBook Pro this is the brand new 13-inch Space Gray touch bar model on the outside nothing has changed from last year's MacBook Pro but on the inside there's actually a pretty respectable performance jump what I think I like most about this setup those between the MacBook Pro and the HP Envy monitor there is one single cable not only is the MacBook Pro sending video to the monitor the monitor is actually sending power to the MacBook Pro and charging it to take things even further though on top of the video and on top of the power there is also data pass-through between the MacBook Pro and the monitor so naturally I'd include the classic mountain external SSD to the back of the monitor method in this case what it does it gives me instant additional storage for the MacBook Pro in this case 2 terabytes and the beautiful part about this is everything is connected to that one single USBC cable now as far as the HP Envy monitor yes this is a big beautiful 34 inch ultra wide display does quad HD it is crisp it is vibrant it is beautiful but what I was most excited about was the fact that there are built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers right into the monitor and I was curious if these could actually replace desktop speakers before I jump into the sound test one thing I noticed immediately is you are using this with a Mac make sure you go in settings and select audio over USB as opposed to DisplayPort right now you said this DisplayPort MT notice nothing happens with the volume which sucks but if I over USB I got that quick we control do the keyboard in Mac OS so jumping into the sound test we got a fresh track from Whitney mile you guys really dug the dj khaled cover from last home pod video this time we got some Calvin Harris fields which is a great song by itself let's see how this monitor sounds that is damn impressive considering it's coming from a screen I think the fact that it is curved kind of gives you almost a surround feel not only with the display but the actual sound as well so staying an olefin good job so moving on without a doubt the element that takes this set up over the top has to be that custom Space Gray Apple keyboard and trackpad from color where as many of you know with the announcement of the iMac Pro alongside that comes a beautiful Space Gray keyboard trackpad and mouse with a downside is Apple of not going to sell that separately fortunately though color wear is not about that life and can bring Space Gray to the masses if you look closely at these the detail is amazing it looks as if it were from Apple and even though in this case this is the regular Wireless Apple key but I'm sure color Wars going to do the same thing with that new full-size wireless one as well now rounded out to set up and go over these smaller accessories that kind of glue everything together the MacBook Pro is sitting on a beautiful Space Gray fan from rain the build quality is phenomenal it has looks to match I have been a fan of rain for a really long time and in this case it is no different next to the model we of course have the patented tech to burr fake plant from Ikea if you don't have one make sure you pick one up today next that is the Bose Soundlink color Bluetooth speaker in soft black Space Gray I initially picked this up more so as a backup because I wasn't really sure if the speakers on the monitor would be enough but that clearly proved me wrong in this case though you now have a Space Gray speaker that perfectly matches your setup and it's something cool you can take on the go now last up is that giant Mario Banksy's canvas behind me actually first featured this in my custom antenna switch test setup but since then I've gotten a ton of questions on what it is where can I get it I thought it'd look great here as well as I thought it would feature and answer that question for you guys along with that and everything else read from this video of course we'll link everything down below so that of my 2017 perfect MacBook Pro set up hopefully enjoyed the video if you did and you're feeling like being awesome make sure to drop a like down below but maybe Mac isn't your thing and you're looking for a window set up so the Microsoft Surface laptop just came out this week and when I saw the beautiful burgundy colored one I just knew it needed a sense
