The Perfect 2017 MacBook Pro Setup #Helpful Post

so Apple just dropped brand-new MacBook

Pros this month what would a MacBook Pro

launch be without the perfect MacBook

setup so the desk is the biggest odd rig

astad braggy stead from ikea like usual

I am butchering that name so if I'm

wrong please please correct me

so this desk strange enough I actually

found outside of the office and desk

section in Ikea for whatever reason I've

had a ton of luck finding really really

cool desks in the dining section

this guy's got a nice stealthy black

look to it it's clean its minimum

something you don't normally see

everyday with a desk it has six legs now

because the desk is so stealthy and so

minimal I kind of wanted to follow suit

with that for the rest of the setup the

plan here is Space Gray tech that

complements the desk and they're not

throwing on a ton of crap that you don't

need now for the MacBook Pro this is the

brand new 13-inch Space Gray touch bar

model on the outside nothing has changed

from last year's MacBook Pro but on the

inside there was actually a pretty

respectable performance jump what I

think I like most about this setup those

between the MacBook Pro and the HP Envy

monitor there is one single cable not

only is a MacBook Pro sending video to

the monitor the monitor is actually

sending power to the MacBook Pro and

charging it to take things even further

though on top of the video and on top of

the power there is also data pastor

between the MacBook Pro and the monitor

so naturally I had to include the

classic mounts and external SSD to the

back of the monitor method in this case

what it does is gives me instant

additional storage for the MacBook Pro

in this case 2 terabytes and the

beautiful part about this is everything

is connected to that one single USBC

cable now as far as the HP Envy monitor

yes this is a big beautiful 34 inch

ultra wide display this quad HD it is

crisp it is vibrant it is beautiful but

what I was most excited about was the

fact that there are built-in Bang &

Olufsen speakers right into the monitor

and I was curious if these could

actually replace desktop speakers now

before I jump into the sound test one

thing I noticed immediately is if you

are using this with a Mac make sure you

go in settings and select audio over USB

as opposed to DisplayPort right now need

to set the DisplayPort and if you notice

nothing happens with the volume which

sucks

but if I up over USB I got that sweet

sweet control through the keyboard in

Mac OS so jumping into the sound test we

got a fresh track from Whitney mile you

guys really dug the DJ Khaled cover from

last home pod video this time we've got

some Calvin Harris fields which is a

great song by itself let's see how this

monitor sounds that is damn impressive

considering is coming from a screen I

think the fact that it is curved kind of

gives you almost a surround feel not

only with the display but the actual

sound as well so paying a toll of

singing good job so move it on without a

doubt the element that takes this set up

over the top has to be that custom Space

Gray Apple keyboard and trackpad from

color where as many of you know with the

announcement of the iMac Pro alongside

that comes a beautiful Space Gray

keyboard trackpad and mouse but the

downside is Apple's not gonna sell that

separately fortunately though color wear

is not about that life and can bring

Space Gray to the masses if you look

closely at these a detail is amazing it

looks as if it were from Apple and even

though in this case this is the regular

Wireless Apple key but I'm sure color

was gonna do the same thing with that

new full-size wireless one as well now

rounded out to set up and going over

these smaller accessories that kind of

glue everything together the MacBook Pro

is sitting on a beautiful Space Gray

stand from rain the build quality is

phenomenal it has looks to match I have

been a fan of rain for a really long

time and in this case it is no different

next to the model we of course have the

patented tech to fake plant from Ikea if

you don't have one make sure you pick

one up today next that is the Bose

Soundlink color bluetooth speaker in

soft black Space Gray I initially picked

this up more so as a backup cuz I wasn't

really sure if the speakers on the

monitor would be enough but that clearly

proved me wrong in this case though you

now have a Space Gray speaker that

perfectly matches your setup and is

something cool you can take on the go

now last up is that giant Mario Banksy's

canvas behind me actually first featured

this in my custom antenna switch test

setup but since then I have

in a ton of questions on what it is

where can I get it I thought it'd look

great here as well so I thought it would

feature and answer that question for you

guys along with that and everything else

preaching this video of course will link

everything down below so that is my 2017

perfect MacBook Pro set up hopefully

enjoyed the video if you did and you're

feeling like being awesome make sure to

drop a like down below but maybe Mac

isn't your thing and you're looking for

a Windows setup so the Microsoft Surface

laptop just came out this week and when

I saw the beautiful burgundy colored one

I just knew it needed a setup
