The place for people to share and discuss their Mac computer setups.
Quick guidelines:
- If you want to make a post that isn't your Mac setup; don't. Use the current weekly discussion thread for questions, answers, and anything else related.
- We recommend that you also include the specifications of your setup/peripherals in a comment on your post.
- Hackintoshes are allowed. Do not report a Hackintosh.
- Don't be a jerk. Ex: Try to avoid using the word "Humble" or "Modest" in your title.

Ergotron trace dual for 2 Studio Displays?
Hey! I am looking to buy 2 studio displays with the VESA option. I am looking for some stands and I like the ergotron trace the most since it doesn’t stick out the desk at the back that much.
However the dual one says it’s only supports up to 9.8kg where 2 studio displays would be 5.5kg x2.
Is the only option to have 1 ergotron trace per monitor?
Not sure if it will look as nice.
Thoughts?
Thank you! 🙏🏼

MBP setup
Used to be my home office + gaming. Switched jobs and new one doesn’t allow home office so now it has been primarily gaming 2018 mbp pro Monitor: LG 38UC99-W Mouse/ keyboard: Logitech MX series
Looking for a way to quickly switch between Mac & PS5 any ideas? A hardware switch would be great. Currently Mac is connected through usb-c which I enjoy given it’s one cable for charging, mouse/keyboard, sound etc
And yes yes… PS5 doesn’t support ultra wide but I sit so close indoor mind the black bars left and right

What dual monitor stands are you using? At my wits end
So far I’ve tried both and they share a common issue. If I want both monitors to touch, the arms either come way to far out front (so the screens are 3-4 inches from my face), or the arms protrude too far back and I can’t put my desk against the wall.
Im thinking of either getting a desk mount for each monitor, or getting a wall mount. The wall mount is cleaner but may be a pain to align.
Any tips?

Hey, has anyone tried to power a monitor using usb-c from a macbook pro m2? I can only find monitor powering a macbook online, not the other way around, so trying to see if anyone has tried it! Im thinking of powering the Samsung S6 with M2 MBP. Thanks in advance!
