Great vid Chris! Would love it if you tried to recreate this setup but on a budget.
Noted!
@@Dailytekk if you ever run out of ideas, I think people would still love to see this.
I enjoyed your set up video showcasing what Apple is doing software wise using different devices along with a external monitor. Can’t wait for the beta versions to be done and sent out for everyone to enjoy once finalized. Watching this brought me back to when you did the Ultimate Desktop Setup vids. I missing seeing those! Keep up the good work!!
Been looking for setups ideas for 2 weeks. Favorite one so far. Simple, professional, productive and clean. 💯
Always droppin’ 💎💎💎 thank you Chris!
universal control is an absolute godsend! Until December of last year, I’ve been working with a 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro as my daily driver. Shortly after graduating uni did I realize how much did it help to have a second screen. Last December, I bought an iPad Air 5, and oh boy is it fun to use with universal control. I didn’t feel like wasting nearly $300 on Apple’s cantilever Magic Keyboard, and Universal Control solves all of this. My only gripe is that it’s not on iPhone, but I can understand the complexities and oddities of adding a cursor to your phone.
Love the set-up!
One of your best videos Chris! It really showcases what Macs can do. Please do one with more budget friendly options. I want to encourage others to go with the Mac options, but I think that sticker price will shock many of them. Keep up the good work!
Noted!
@@Dailytekk loved the vid too. I’m currently working on my setup with the M2 MacBook Air and the M1 iPad Air. I know that’s not cheap but compared to the laptop and iPad you have that still makes a strong setup for lots of people.
I love this setup, thank you. The combination of device capacity and the ability to grab and go any of the smaller devices is fantastic.
Keep killing it bro 👌
Cool set up I be upgrading my set up soon
Thanks for sharing
5:45 you could always utilize the command key when creating your hot corners to prevent accidentally triggering them
great pro tip!
Great video! Congrats; super setup!!!!!
Nice desk setup!
Ok, you were the first person who helped me understand & appreciate the importance of the Apple Ecosystem workflow. I owe you a $50.00 dinner card. Keep up the great work and educating an older man/author.
Glad I could help!
Ok this is a sick setup and that’s Andy Mineo! 😭❤️
Your work is so good👍
I can’t update my 2018 MacBook Pro until there’s a camera in the middle of the device. As brilliant as the design Apple has with both hardware and software…I just can’t upgrade. Love the setup brother!
Hi Chris, really great video, very interesting. I have now recently bought a more modest lg 4k 27" monitor for about 250 dollars and have my MacBook Pro plus 12.9 iPad and yes it all works great as you show. I am loving it, now I’m upgrading my ‘workstation’, although truth be told I don’t work on it much.
*I wanted to subscribe to your newsletter but couldn’t input my email address as the keyboard wouldn’t appear on screen. I’ll use a separate keyboard, but thought you’d want a heads up.
Hey Chris, how do you see a Mac mini fitting into your productivity set up? I have my MacBook Pro and ipad and have my monitor attached to Mac mini with the m1 chip. really interested in your thoughts. Do I un plug the mini and stream line a bit more? Cheers.
So the Chris’s are thinking similar today. 😂
So funny I laughed when I saw yours earlier today
You are the first CZcamsr I have seen using Mindnode! :'D (I recenlty started to use it myself)
Love MindNode!
Hi! Just curious with the 40” ultrawide’s mac scaling? I believe that is 5k reso? Does the text appear too small like using a conventional 34” ultrawide? Thanks and love your videos!
I’m pretty new to Mac I’ve only had mine since 2021 but when I used sidecar I used my iPad and Apple Pencil on garage band and it worked perfectly
Do you have any recommendations for a cheaper by, great monitor for a graduate student?
It sounds great to have a monitor and hard drives all connected through a single cable, but you would have to have the macbook pro constantly connected to the power and I wonder if in the long term or not so long term that could affect the useful life of the macbook pro for being connected to the power all the time. i went to an apple store here in florida and they told me that even though apple battery power management technology is very advanced they do not recommend having the computer connected all the time through a monitor that supplies power to the macbook pro, can you help with this dilemma?. Thank you.
New to your channel. I like your presentation style and got value from time spent with this episode. Subscribed and liked. I'll be back.
How were you able to do universal control on the monitor? Is it hooked with a Mac mini? Cause I thought universal control is only available for Apple computers and iPads
Hey Chris are you a Solo Creator. Like how do you get the B-roll of you typing?? I really really love it.
Hey Chris! Can you please tell me what mic your broadcasting with in this and other videos?
Great video. I love Universal Control and the "multi-ness" of it. I recently purchased a Mac Studio and wanted to pair it with the new Apple Studio Display but none were available. Then I got to thinking why not use a M1 14" iMac as my Studio Display with Universal Control - it's the same price - actually slightly less. I get ALL the features of the Studio Display and more...like a back-up computer!
Chris u are the winner 2, is that real?
Can we drag a window across macs? Like a safari tab from iMac to the macbook pro screen.
Could you tell me where to get the actual desk on which all your devices sitting?
Hey tour setup was inspiring me, but i wanna ask something, that’s possible if 1 Monitor ( Samsung M7 40 ) Connected with Ipad Pro M1 and Ipad Pro md 2012 for universal control?
Does the cursor move seamlessly if I put the iPad above the Macbook Pro screen? I prefer a vertical arrangement, so I only need to move my eyes, not my head/neck.
Great video! I suspect you’re using these devices in a manner similar to what Apple has envisioned.
What screenmanager are you using? Magnet?
It’s crazy that I almost have this exact setup even before seeing this video.
Mine is not as top tier brands in terms of accessories and my cord management is currently an eye sore lol
Chris... Sorry forgot to say great channel btw!!
Would universal control work with two MacBooks or a MacBook and a Mac mini? I have an M1 MacBook air that's for work (paid for by my job) and I'm debating getting one (or the other) for my personal use.
Great vid, but how do I actually physically set it up? I like this set up and would be great for my work but how do I connect it'll and wire it? I am very computer set up illiterate
Hi don't know if you can help but I'm want to have an extension usc c to usb c from ipad pro into usb c hub as all these hubs only have short pigtail cables will this wirk ok... I'm actually wanting to connect ipad to midi keyboard and 3.5 mm headphones plus other ports. Sorry off topic a bit but thought I'd ask. As I'm struggling to choose one!!
Great video as usual Chris. Lovin' your set-up! Right around 2:00 I saw a white Water Bottle? Where did you get that? I am guessing at the Apple Employee store on the Apple Campus. My wife is an Electronic Engineer for TI, and one of her clients is Apple. She works on MacBook power supplies. She brings me bling every time she goes to Cupertino. I have shirts, pens, hats, jackets, a bunch of stuff, but I don't have that water bottle.
Yep from Apple good eye
I really am not feeling Stage Manager (on iPad Pro) am I missing something?
You ´re not alone.
I love the monitor. I have it. Only thing dislike is HDMI will only run at 50hz. TB4 is at 75hz but max refresh for HDMI is only 50hz, if you're lucky.
You might have covered in previous video, what iPad app is that you use for those drawings?
ProCreate
Interested in this one too…doesn’t “look” like ProCreate at 4:42 in this vid.
G’Day Chris, thanks for the video! Im a massive fan of the Apple Ecosystem and have been since 2008 - Currently Im rocking a 2017 13 Inch Macbook Pro with a 2020 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and pencil. My peripheral’s are a Logitech MX Keys & MX Master Mouse (the origional series 1). So my question - when I use Universal control, and I attempt to use the scroll wheel on my iPad, the scrool reverts back to my Macbook Control - I need to manually use a slider on a document to scroll on the screen of my iPad - which is just annoying! My device will scroll with an Apple Magic Mouse, but for my Logitech it just doesnt work. Do you have a fix for this - as whilst I have multiple magic moice, I prefer my MX Master.
Also - a tip I have for Sidecar - connect via cable (annoying, I know), but then the glitches (which make it virtually unusable for me in wireless form) are non-existent!
Cheers & keep up the quality content!
Hi, I belive it is a bug, there is nothing you can do it to fix it... I have the same problem... the reason it works with the apple Magic Mouse is because apple made universal control to work perfect with apple device... with third party accesories it can struggle...
@@ricardosierra01 - thanks Mate!
Have you noticed that when using a MacBook Keyboard on iPad Pro the shift capital (eg to capitals or ?) doesn’t work? Or is it just me?
@@scottmuir2385 Yes, have the same problem, but actually it happens more often when im using my Logitech MX Keys... when using the MacBook Pro keyboard it happens less often (probably because of what I said in the comment before)... this little problems make me stop really using universal control almost at all, and Im an all in apple fan boy with an iPad open on the side of my MacBook all the time... it works like 80-90% of the times, but when you crash in the 10-20% that doesn't, it really lose purpose...
links to you stands please? :)
I should have said in my previous comment “I love your set up”
Can you drag and drop open safari tabs?
Howbis he able to have two different things in the mac screen and the monitor even though the monitor is only connected to the mac ?
I see you with the Andy Mineo music videos 👀
Hi Chris recommendations for wireless mouse and keyboard for MacBook Air
Logitech mouse 🐁 apple keyboard ⌨️
Was thinking this Rajan just because of Touch ID.
@chris
Sad to hear Sidecar is glitchy. I bought my iPad to use the Pencil for photo editing, while Affinity Photo was running on my desktop. Should be getting my ASD soon, and finally be able to try it out. (Affinity is also available as an iPad app, but its interface is so different from the Mac version I just get confused).
Try Sidecar with your devices tethered - it's annoying not to be wireless, but trust me, when connected, the glitches are nonexistent!
@@scottmuir2385 Thanks for the tip!
Link to MacBook stand and 12 TB of storage ?
I have now a mac mini m2 pro and I don't see the option for universal control 🤔
What’s the post it widget name on your iPad?
@DailyTekk should I report this user?
I love Universal Control as well, but the only glitch I have is that when using my Mac keyboard when I switch over to the iPad, special characters aren’t working, like exclamation point, # symbol, etc. I’ve tried Apple’s keyboard as well as Logitech MX mini with the same results. Not sure if it’s something about my setup or if it’s just a bug, but I hope it gets resolved.
Have you enabled full keyboard access on the iPad? I think that might help
@@user-fi6hg8vq6c it works now. Not sure if it was one of the app updates that did it, but I no longer have the issue
I can’t seem to get the universal control to work, my Mac doesn’t let me tick the box. I have a mac which is up to date to macOS montury12.6.1 and an IPad Pro M1 2021. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix this problem?
tell us about widgets pls
❤️✨💯❤️
No iMac? If Apple released an iMac Pro would that replace the LG screen?
What I really want is an Apple UltraWide!
14” over the 16”? Guess that ultra wide makes up for any lack of space ;)
lol ya I mean I wanted the compact power this round for travel and... when I'm parked at the desk, exactly.... it doesn't matter much
@@Dailytekk Made the same choice. Came from a 2019 16", went with the 14" this time. Paired with a two 27" 5k monitors for now. Loving it and even with the 14", the battery is so much better than the old 16" when on the go. Great vid!
I want this wallpaper 😢
I want to be this rich someday
Universal control is still “glitchy” one year later.
I love the setup. Very similar to my own, but I disagree that it’s like a Lambo. I think it’s more like a pilot and an airplane or a taxi driver and their cab. These are tools.
40 inches screen isn't too big??
It's not like sidecar that just ended up being a Mac extension. You raved about that feature so much and told that everyone was wrong about it 🤷🏾♂️
Same thing you did with stage manager which honestly is not that great. It's a good upgrade over the previous version but not groundbreaking. I still can't use my iPad completely.
For some reason my universal control won’t work anymore….
I spy Andy Mineo!
Universal control is indeed an amazing upgrade to the Apple Ecosystem...speaking of the Apple Ecosystem...why are you not wearing an Apple Watch good sir? *chuckles of self amusement*
Sent review unit back, gave an old one away, my backup old one wont charge (or wouldn't have given away the other one lol) and bad time to buy between next AW announcement... so ya (missing it)
Holy fack that monitor is $1,800 lol
Great, now to earn 10000 USD so I can afford this
Stop flexing 😄
Chris someone, by ur name, text me that i win macbook and should pay for delivery issues. Is that true???
