I'm really liking the vertical laptop setup. I dunno why I never built my setup around one before. Any of you guys docking your laptop vertically? Thanks for watching!
@@dawtcung funny enough I bought a pc from a pc builder on craigslist early 2019, and i didn't actually have a table to put it on to actually use it for like 6 months cuz I was too lazy... yeah...
That XIAOMI lamp you can change color temperature, press down the power button and rotate. Also the yeelight app can also control this lamp, cus its made by yeelight. Also after you register yeelight app you can turn on and off with google asistant. Also idk if it makes you feel better MI home appp on IOS doesnt require extra permission. Iv owned this lamp for years and they do update the firmware on the lamp once in a while.
Yeelight all also has way less rights. The Mi home app Ist literally for like 50+ xiaomi smart home products and thus needs all those rights. Best thing about the app is that you can use it with IFTT/Google Assistant/Alexa but also you can set timers to wake you up. It's so much better getting woken up by light than with a tone
bobsagget823 because the app is not only designed for the lamp ,it can actually control all smart home devices made by xiaomi and they are tons of hardware.
4:00 I like how Dave mentions his security concerns with downloading the lamps app, not a lot of people think about this stuff and it needs more attention for sure.
You are honestly a life saver, I've been running my whole setup off my laptop and with all the wires connected to it and stuff, it looked super messy, but that laptop stand honestly makesmy desk look a hundred times cleaner.
I’ve always admired the transparency in your reviews. Even a great product you’ll always mention something it lacks. A+ as always. Honestly is important in product reviews.
I think this video is quite fitting to tell you that your not just a source of information with a really nice and calm voice. But even if I'm not an unorganized person there's always improvement possible and you're a huge inspiration to keep things neat especially in my home office area.
"The company that makes smart phones and laptops.... They make a lamp." And rice cookers, roombas, electric scooters, smart TVs, wifi repeaters, speakers, powerbanks, bags, umbrellas, Mi pens, face towel, bath towel, screw drivers, fidget cubes, air purifiers, cameras, smart vacuums, smart kettles, smart sunglasses. And they all ask for permission to access your contacts. Jk.
hair dryer, oven, drone, earphones, electric shaver, backpack, umbrella, even a multitool I won't be surprised if one day Xiaomi manufactures missiles and satellites
@@tempaovelhonao same question, some say they just put it to sleep everytime they click on the external mouse or keyboard it turns the laptop on. But it didn't work for me when the laptop lid is close
The thing with Xiaomi lots of accesses is that they actually produced and collaborated on a lot of products like lamp, security cameras, dishwasher and so many more. And all of them is controlled through that one single app that is why it needs so many access
Great authentic content, orderliness and minimalism seems to match your personality. Also nice to see a tech youtuber who is still concerned with privacy issues. I've got the feeling most just do not care anymore...
Hi Dave, I tried searching for the outro music using the name in the description, but I couldn't find any links for "Fili - Pressing Forward". Do you have a link to the song?
I wasn't aware you worked Dave. I would've assumed that the revenue from the channel would be enough to support you. Either way, great video, loved the set up
I also have a laptop setup with a desktop screen and I don't dock my laptop. The reason being a second screen is improving my productivity, especially as a non-native speaker 'working' in academia. On the 27' screen I can have two documents open comfortably and on the laptop 17' screen I can have my dictionary, database or notebook software whatever. It's more comfortable than a single screen, and I think that's the advantage of a laptop setup. (Also when you have a second screen working with Photoshop you can view your other photos while developing one, which is really convenient.)
That’s mostly my setup!! I use the mx2 and drevo keyboard and I’ve been looking at upgrading to that exact monitor! I use a griffin stand though as I like the option to dual screen using my laptop. Love your videos!
I really like your style and taste. Some youtubers make their expensive set up looks so cheap by just throwing in tons of RGB without caring about color themes or anything and it made me annoyed. As if they equal great food = big portion. Great pc built should be well thought out like yours !
the mi home app is for the whole mi ecosystem, not just for the lamp, so they have other products like smart speakers that need access to contacts and messages so they can play it to you when you get messages and stuff, but it would be fine for the light
Chris Del Rio while both displays are on go to Windows settings and make your monitor your main display or if you have Windows ten just project on your other display
In windows 10 go to battery then go to advanced setting then it has an option for what happens when you close the lid and then click “do nothing” when lid is closed
Great video as always. If I were to change up a few things on your setup though, this is what I would have chosen: Monitor: Keep the Alienware man! Mouse: Microsoft Surface Mouse Keyboard: Microsoft Surface Keyboard Headphones: Microsoft Surface Headphones 2
I use an IKEA napkin holder GREJA to be the laptop stand. Dell D3100 to connect a Samsung 28" 4k and another older 22" 1080 Acer monitor. They are held on a dual monitors mounting arms.
I never knew this was a thing, I have to use a laptop because I travel a lot, but I am 100% doing this at home! 17" on the road is great, but I need more!
Another excellent video. You could probably do a nice simple DIY on that headphone stand by adding a concrete base, or gluing on a small piece of marble.
The downside of that laptop stand (that I like btw) is that you have to take out the machine every time you turn it on (since most laptops have the power button on the inside)
I was about to make a snarky remark along the line of "Ha! Now lamps can track you too!" Then refrained because I thought 'pshh cmon. Lets give em a slack, that's way too much even for th...' I stand tremendously corrected.

Dave Lee with the lamp, if you push the button in and then turn you can change the colour temperature of the lamp.
Dave Lee amen
Yeah I have that lamp, you can push down the button and turn it to change the hue
dave ,where can I find the skin you have applied on your razer mouse ?
What are the headphones called that you used in the video? Not the Razer ones, the other pair
its really funny how in my recommended after this video is linus's one that says "no, this is the cleanest setup"

Why should a lamp need fucking firmware updates. What a joke
bobsagget823 the lamp does need updates, its not as responsive as my philips hue when controlling it on the phone

I only discovered you very recently, but the amount of value I am getting from your videos is unprecedented. Thank you Dave.
That's one CRISPY setup! Yum!
You keep everything from video qualities to computer setups really clean and neat!!! those are just so awesome to look at ㅜㅜ

I bet that toilet paper has GPS and cameras and a whole host of other sensors... But at this point in time, if it's toilet paper, it's toilet paper.

Noticed how quickly Dave switched between FPS to Spreadsheets with smooth fingers movement without any awkwardness. He must have had lots of practice.
I like your white/blue setup... I like the clean white/blue setups.. and it goes well with your surroundings as well.
Are you using the Essential Phone full time now? Just saw you with it in the video.
That monitor is truly one of a kind!
That is the nicest keyboard I've ever seen, been dieing to find out what its called!!😂Thanks!

How do you use the laptop closed and still be able to have the screen on? My Display always turns off after closing my laptop
if you are on windows just search in the advanced power options and on the "close lid" choose "do nothing"
Chris Del Rio while both displays are on go to Windows settings and make your monitor your main display or if you have Windows ten just project on your other display
anthony poltes what about on Mac
Reece Carolan I have mine connected to a monitor via thunderbolt. When I close the lid it turns off
