today's setup is sponsored by LG you guys johnathan here and this is my take on a perfect minimal laptop setup that you can plug in and dual functions as a desktop so there are three main components to this setup the laptop the desk and the monitor the centerpiece is the 2018 14 inch LG gram which is portable crazy life but also packs a surprising amount of power inside is intel's eighth generation i7 cpu a gigabytes of ram and a 512 gigabyte SSD unlike most laptops and phones these days that seem to get rid of every single port this packs a ton and specifically a really crucial element to this setup this USB C port this supports data video and power and that allows it to connect the laptop to the monitor and even charge it with a single cable which is awesome on top of that you have a fingerprint reader a beautiful display that also doubles as a touchscreen so you kind of get the best of both worlds there's a backlit keyboard fantastic audio when you want to rock headphones and as impressive as all that is again what stands out most to me is how lightweight this thing is when you pick it up you kind of almost got to do a double take it is that light plus you're gonna get crazy long battery life out of this guy up to 17 and a half hours which means you won't have to worry about being stuck to an outlets so when you combine that portability with the power and flexibility that kind of rounds this out as the perfect laptop to take on the go we of course are not just on the go so dive in a little deeper into the setup the desk is a combo from Ikea like usual I'm most likely going to butcher these names this is the Girton tabletop and that is paired with the odbald trestle legs this combo is simple but also very satisfying those dark legs with the light wood top contrasts really well together and I'm gonna tell you that is some seriously solid wood now from there that beautiful monitor sitting on the desk is LG's 27 UK 850 W which is 4k features HDR 10 and USB C which makes all the magic happen for a second though can we give a thumbs up to that wallpaper it is beautiful and yes I will drop a link to that down below this is a gorgeous crisp display with super accurate colors but again the magic here is that USBC port which connects the gram and allows us to do everything with a single cable so again data powered video all through a single cable and that's really important because it allows us to leave everything but the laptop at the desk the keyboard and mouse which is an ergonomic combo from Microsoft run off a USB receiver so instead of having to leave that plug in the laptop potentially worrying about losing it I could just leave that plugged in at the monitor and because everything is sent to that single cable again that's why everything is so simple and so convenient touch it back on the keyboard and the mouse this is my first time ever using or trying something organ Amin it was a little weird at first but after getting used to it I could definitely see where the benefits were and if you're someone who types for hours and hours every single day I would definitely consider checking these out now to throw in a variation of this the display will also rotate vertically so the instance where you potentially wanted to use your LG Graham as your main display and take advantage of that vertical real estate you can also do that as well now this looks awesome but for me I've never really used a vertical display or been a fan but if you rock one and you're set up let me know with a comment down below now initially when I asked you guys on Twitter what this setup might need the number one answer was a chair unfortunately this chair cannot do this but the good news is it is not 399 it is much cheaper in fact it's around 60 bucks on Amazon it's insanely comfortable complements the desk legs really well inside note it's what allowed me to grab some of the shots in this video now potentially the most interesting thing about this setup has got to be the speakers which is actually LG's sj7 sound bar but comma Iowa this is the sound bar actually is split off into two separate stereo speakers so you can use them in a multitude of ways for this setup it allowed for a really unique vertical look which i think looks awesome but why it works so well with this is the fact that can connect wirelessly through bluetooth to the LG gramm there's also a subwoofer which kind of rounds out the sound gives you that oomph at low end and even though these speakers weren't meant for desktop they work amazingly well and I think round out the entire experience that again follows the idea of leaving everything but the laptop at the desk that way when I come back I have a keyboard of a mouse of a beautiful display and amazing sounding audio lastly I have no idea where I found this plant but if I find it I will drop a link down below that also includes a salt lab because I know you were thinking about that thank you guys so much for watching this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
