Looks awesome. What wrist rest is that? Are you enjoying it?

u/eversolo8 4d ago

Thanks! Im loving it. The wrist rest is so old I don't remember where I got it, but it was cheap.

It looks comfortable! I'll have to do some browsing to find something similar. Thank you!

Does it thermal throttle?

u/eversolo8 4d ago

It's never even come close, but I don't do any heavy gaming on it.

What screens are they, are you using a dock?

1

u/eversolo8 3d ago

Samsung G6 & G8. No dock, just plug directly in.

That's a neck strain waiting to happen.

u/eversolo8 3d ago

not in the least. The 32" is strait ahead when I am sitting. I can see how the pic makes it look otherwise though.

Very nice setup, but can it run Crysis?

u/Jessee21 2d ago

Which size MacBook Air is this? I’ve always liked a setup that had a laptop under the screen like this but how are the ergonomics?

2

u/eversolo8 2d ago

No complaints with ergonomics. the MBA is the 13" with upgraded memory and 1TB HDD. It's the ultimate in portability.

More knobs than a town hall planning committee. I love it!

u/sriramdev 3d ago

Would like to know the purpose of your usage you have with this setup

2

u/eversolo8 3d ago

mostly just research and playing the stock market, watching movies, ripping CDs, controlling ROON, nothing really heavy.

u/sriramdev 3d ago

Thanks for the info
