I was like "Bob's doing a Mac video? Finally expanding the Wulff den to just tech I guess" but then I realized this is on Bob's channel. About time!
I didn't realize I was watching his channel until I read the comments LOL
Just got myself one! Super thrilled with it. Naturally, watched a tonne of YT to 1. Validate purchase 2. Info and general reviews.
Holy moley you are the only one with an once of personality! Everyone else is the same, overproduced, philips hue lit up, talking robots!
Thanks for a great video and thanks for being a normal human being!
Bob really out here using the Series X as a stand 11:48
This is exactly the video i needed! I switch between windows and mac a lot at home and it was annoying to have to do it manually each time. Super useful to see how to set it up so seamlessly.
When you stood up and the desk moved I literally said "oooooh" aloud like a little Toy Story alien.
Bob u gotta upload more on this channel man
i know 😔
I love to see that oled switch still running 💪
sublime cable management bob
i said dont look
I've been waiting for this!
This channel will hit 100k soon if you keep up quality videos like this. It's like a main channel video and I appreciate it.
This channel so far has had some really good gems honestly- great work bob
Got the 14" M1 Pro myself, absolute beast machines. Nice setup(s) Bahb.
thanks bro
I dig the setup! Also, when are we gonna get some coffee videos my guy?!
I see the OLED switch burnin test is going strong!
White oled looking super fresh in the center, still can't get my hands one.
Late to this video but the mx master 3 and mx keys have logitech flow so you can use two computers without manually switching between them. It treats the screens of each computer as a dual screen setup and you can copy and paste from one computer to the other by just using the mouse. it sends the words you copy or even files you copy over wifi so theres no limit to the file size that you can copy between the two devices. its super convenient for productivity
I missed getting videos for this channel! I absolutely love what you have done with it so far!
lol are you still burning in botw over there!
hahah wow I forgot about that
@@robertfrost8264 yeah I thought maybe it was over but i guess not!
I love how Apple thinks 512 gb in the lower model is an acceptable amount of storage. Storage is so cheap these days but they still make a $2,500 model that doesn't just have a terabyte..
I'm pretty sure they know 😂 they just wanna make u pay more
Great video, really like that desk mat
I previously owned a 2012 Mac mini (that I bought new in 2012) all the way to 2020. I now use an intel i3 4K Retina iMac. I think will upgrade to a M2 Mac mini in a few years.
Hey Bob, just wanted to chime in to say that your displayport switcher's usb 2.0 ports are probably good enough for switching your audio interface. I would wager most usb audio interfaces are still usb 2.0 devices and will work fine over usb 2.0 ports, as usb 2.0 is a standard that is used in a lot of audio interfaces these days to maximize their use with iphones.
I just want to say that having a docking station is very nice. I have a thinkpad with a docking port on the bottom of it and it is so nice to just put it in a dock at home and then take it out when I'm ready to leave.
I really enjoyed the video, keep doing these Bob!
That's what I thought as well. I have the gen 3 version of the scarlett interface he has and it worked just fine on usb 2.0 computers before I upgraded to M1.
Scrolled down to say this. USB 2 is still 480Mbps, 40MBps, so plenty.
Bob, came here from your Zelda Game & Watch video, love this sort of content. Keep it up! Subscribed!
just got a series x and now I'm inspired to use it as a shelf as well.. Thanks for the inspiration!
Good to see the Bob Wulff Channel up and Running again ! Especially since I am on it #Wulffdendad
I love this style of content from you, would love to see more!!
I have the same Ugreen USB switch that I use for alternating between my work and personal PCs. It works great, and is also pretty cheap.
Try to get a gigabyte monitor with built in KVM , that helps a lot too.
Bob tech videos are LIFE
3:10 That's so real. I thought it only happened on my MBA M1.
You should make a video trying to stream from your new Macbook. I'm a somewhat beginner streamer and used your previous guide and use my Xbox Series S and Switch, an Elgato HD60S, into my 2012 Macbook (i7, 16gb RAM, SSD). Would love to see how the M1 Max does with console streaming.
This could be aa great channel for gear geeks.
I subscribed because you seem cool and down to earth! thanks
You could probably get your 120hz, and possibly adaptive sync if the display supports it if you were to switch from HDMI to DisplayPort. USB 4 supports DisplayPort altmode natively, which is much less work for it than outputting HDMI.
finally a damn video with the razer thunderbolt 4 dock hardly any videos are even on it just some saying update on it on a defective unit hardly any showing it off of how it is or its rgb features on the black one
I’m able to drive LG 27GN950 at 4k 144hz no problem. That’s the EVE monitor problem, not the macbook’s fault. Try using another thunderbolt port because one single port may not have enough bandwidth for both high refresh rate 4k and ultra wide.
That was the hardest intro I’ve witnessed…ever
Thank you. Nice vid!
I came here from the Gigabyte M32U video because I wanted to know what dock you were using
Great video. Thanks for walk through.
Thank god this was linked on the Wulff Den video today! I would have never realized I hadn't subscribed to this channel after the apartment video! Ever get that shelf riser figured out?
Wait you have a mac channel??? I just bought one and this is the greatest discovery 🤣
The M1 and M1 Max have my intrigued and I have never really been a mac user. I have used macbooks but it just hasn't compared to my experience with a window's desktop. There are still some things I miss though, namely the emulation software (OpenEMU I think) and Logic and Final Cut
Just found your channel. Great content!!! May ask the make and model of standing desk?
Really enjoyed this video, Bob
I cried when I realized my ikea Karlby & standing desk frame had too much wobble for my desk clamped cameras. Tore it down & sent the standing desk frame back.
Your desk desperately needs a TwelveSouth BookArc.
I dont know anything about streaming, but why you need a pc for it?
Great video!!
There's no good software for streaming on Mac, and Macs have a really hard time capturing audio from the computer itself. It becomes exponentially more annoying.
Also, thanks :3
@@BobWulff Thank you for taking the time yo explain it 😍
good to know about that dock, I've been looking for a dock that can send my mac to multiple screens forever, so annoying that most can do mutli-display with a mac
Good vid !! Paints a better picture of how to go about starting or setting up a good desk rig.
Cool set up my friend but how about your MacBook’s battery health? Using two monitors I think kills the battery even if you plug it in. Is not? If so please write to me !
Great video! But you should do color calibration to your monitors obviously.
Cool video Bob!
I'm not a Mac guy by any means but this setup is sick af
Really love this video man. A little confused on the daisy chaining between the thunderbolt dock and the gaming pc. what input allows for the gaming pc to recognize the other peripherals (mouse & keyboard). Trying to think this through and whether or not a KVM switch is necessary.
About to start upgrading my setup very similar to support work from my MacBook Pro 14 inch and then when I'm relaxing I switch over to my gaming rig!
Question about the dock.
Wulffden espresso , wulffden premium roast .. you need to Collaborate with who ever
Where are you we need more videos
GREAT VIDEO. MADE ME WANT TO SUBSCRIBE.
Thanks for the vid
Thanks for this clip was looking to see how you used the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock . Found it strange that you said you had the 1 gigabyte Ethernet port, and could use it, however did not have it connected.
PHD Robert Metcalfe "The Father of Ethernet" (inside joke) told me when we talked over the years about wired vs wireless that wired is always best. This is the type of setup I might be moving to next year after I see what Apple comes out with to replace my 5K 27-inch iMac. Thing is it will be wired to Ethernet via a Thunderbolt 4 hub, and will love the fact that only have to deal with one cable if I want to unplug the laptop, and use WiFI around the rest of the house.
I love this channel
Just found my new mouse. I currently switch my logitech G602 between my work pc and gaming pc.
Hey Bob, amazing video. at 10:40 minute of your video you talk about weird mac scaling issues. do you know how to fix that? because im having not sharp images at native resolution of my monitor 1920x1200. images does not seem sharp enough. and eyes become tired
That’s a nice setup - next step: cable management.
Unfortunately that mouse, even though it's amazing, it doesn't work well on Mac with just Bluetooth. You should always connect it with the USB dongle on Mac
YES
do you like the space gray or do you like the sliver?
im curious. Does the Ethernet-Port work with the MacBook Pro? I want to buy the Docking but for me the Ethernet is very important and i dont know if i missed it in the video, but i dont know it that works :) i would love to get that answered. BTW i love your video. It helped me a lot with the Razer Dock with the MacBook
Yo Bob, have you tried going vertical with the left monitor since you have the ultra wide? I like stacking 3 windows on my left monitor
I havnt done it paired with the ultrawide. It would be a nice setup tho
@@BobWulff It serves multipurpose for web dev (for width reference), but I like having Discord, OBS, and a browser all stacked on the left during streams. Worth a shot if it feels like you’re panning your neck hard. Loved this video man 🤘
Do you get a MacOS eject error when shutting the hard drive down from the drive (instead of within MacOS)?
I still need another computer for my main computer to do the other stuff.
The problem with closing the lid is you lose the Touch ID on the laptop that makes things so much easier.
i find the touch id works 1/3rd of the time
You mention macs aren't good for live streaming. Could you elaborate more on that? I've never tried either but I'm curious as to why or what your experience has been. Thanks!
Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock for Mac - no where to be found in Malaysia here :( sad
Bob “I have a Hacintosh” Wulff
OH SHIIIIIIT NOW I GET WHY THERE WAS NO WULFF DEN VID THIS WEEEEEEEK
it's a shame not to be able to use the built in display as well. i keep the mac open with a parc slope stand. personally i hate logitech mice. i'm using a trackpad and a ploopy track ball. i have a modded kinesis advantage 2 with the trackpad mounted in the middle.
New macbook pro 2.0 hdmi port can transfer only 60fps. I don't understand why they are missing this important thing.
Have you considered level1tech's kvm solution?
are you sure that 90w Power deliver from Razer dock is enough to charge M1 Max 16 inch? (this is 16 inch macbook pro right) .... and also you are getting full performance from the mac with this 90w PD??
not for the highpower mode. but u have to be sure that u need this mode
@@AvciSa you mean if i want to use 100% Performance from M1 Max i have to use their 140w mag-safe charger?.. 90w TB4 is not enough?
@@justkailash thats right. they are testet that they need in highpower mode about 110-120watt, if you dont have this or u use just the batterie, you cant use this mode.
@@AvciSa so my concern is... if i am using macbook pro 16 m1 max as in clamshell mode... and have 90-96w PD usb-C cable attached from a dock... so still i wont get 100% performance? .. i mean the battery will always full in this kind of setup?
@@justkailash like i understood, yes. this also a point where im worrying about. but i still waiting for my macbook in this moment. but yea, if you cant use this mode with battery and also need at least 110W for this mode, it make no scenes that is working with just 90W.
amazing.
@ BOB WULFF what is that white monitor stand that you're using @ 10:37 time line - it looks like an Ikea product but I just don't know the name. Thanks
I've been trying to find a good setup for my M1 Max MBP too. I've had hit or miss experience with Thunderbolt 3 (4) docks and a bit worse with USB adapters. I have an Intel MBP for work (corporate asset) and a personal MBP M1 Max for personal/moonlighting gigs. I've started labeling stuff that works with my M1 system.
coming from 27 iMac with 5K, do you see the difference between retina 5k and your 4k resolution on monitory? I am torn as there is something like one Lg monitor with 5K resolution in Europe available.
Hi i purchased a 14 inch macbook pro and tested out the hdmi port by connecting to my tv. I was getting the picture but without any audio, can you help me fix this?
can you link the desk for your setup ?
@Bob Wulff can I check with you how is it you managed to get that one wire connection for Macbook Pro 14 inch and project it to two different monitors? Did you download some sort of displaylink driver? If that hub works I would very much love to get one!
2:40 I wonder why Macs are really bad for live streaming?
Can you add 3-4 display units to a mid spec m1 macbook ? With help of some docking station or something?
how can I get dual monitor support. I have been searching and trying with no luck.
Mac review!!!!
U sound like Lew Later
So the Razer Thunderbolt 4 Dock is perfect for the M1 Max Macbook Pro? Any problem so far?
When using the Displayport switcher for your PC does it support higher refresh rate (144/240hz)? I looked at Amazon desc and it didn't mention anything for refresh rates other than 4K@60
Where did you get your keyboard
What better way to spend a spare $20,000
Macs are bad for live streaming, have you ever tried Ecamm?
Who is sneaking into your office and touching your displays? That person needs to be stopped.
How did you get it to display on two monitors with an M1 Mac? I’m not able to connect mine to a second monitor and I went to check the Razer website and it even says there that it only supports 1 display for M1 Macs.
Nevermind. I've just realized the problem. I just have the regular M1 chip which does not support two monitors even with the Razer dock... Looks like I'm sending it back.
Bro your cables needs some interventions…
Has anyone noticed that external monitors slow the MacBook down? Opening files on our cad program are significantly slower on extended display.
If your device resolution is lower than the monitors, that'd hog some GPU resources. Especially on programs that haven't been updated in a while. Finale (a music notation software I use) had this same annoying bug for a while. You can right click on the app, hit get info, and find the option about opening in low res mode. Fixed it for me
