The Perfect Minimal Laptop Desk Setup #Helpful Post

oday's setup is sponsored by LG you

guys johnathan here and this is my take

on a perfect minimal laptop setup that

you can plug in and dual functions as a

desktop so there are three main

components to this setup the laptop the

desk and the monitor the centerpiece is

the 2018 14 inch LG gram which is

portable crazy life but also packs a

surprising amount of power inside is

intel's eighth generation i7 cpu a

gigabytes of ram and a 512 gigabyte SSD

unlike most laptops and phones these

days that seem to get rid of every

single port this packs a ton and

specifically a really crucial element to

this setup this USB C port this supports

data video and power and that allows it

to connect the laptop to the monitor and

even charge it with a single cable which

is awesome on top of that you have a

fingerprint reader a beautiful display

that also doubles as a touchscreen so

you kind of get the best of both worlds

there's a backlit keyboard fantastic

audio when you want to rock headphones

and as impressive as all that is again

what stands out most to me is how

lightweight this thing is when you pick

it up you kind of almost got to do a

double take it is that light plus you're

gonna get crazy long battery life out of

this guy up to 17 and a half hours which

means you won't have to worry about

being stuck to an outlets so when you

combine that portability with the power

and flexibility that kind of rounds this

out as the perfect laptop to take on the

go we of course are not just on the go

so dive in a little deeper into the

setup the desk is a combo from Ikea like

usual I'm most likely going to butcher

these names this is the Girton tabletop

and that is paired with the odbald

trestle legs this combo is simple but

also very satisfying those dark legs

with the light wood top contrasts really

well together and I'm gonna tell you

that is some seriously solid wood now

from there that beautiful monitor

sitting on the desk is LG's 27 UK 850 W

which is 4k features HDR 10 and USB C

which makes all the magic happen for a

second though can we give a thumbs up to

that wallpaper it is beautiful and yes I

will drop a link to that down below this

is a gorgeous crisp display with super

accurate colors but again the magic here

is that

USBC port which connects the gram and

allows us to do everything with a single

cable

so again data powered video all through

a single cable and that's really

important because it allows us to leave

everything but the laptop at the desk

the keyboard and mouse which is an

ergonomic combo from Microsoft run off a

USB receiver so instead of having to

leave that plug in the laptop

potentially worrying about losing it I

could just leave that plugged in at the

monitor and because everything is sent

to that single cable again that's why

everything is so simple and so

convenient touch it back on the keyboard

and the mouse this is my first time ever

using or trying something organ Amin it

was a little weird at first but after

getting used to it I could definitely

see where the benefits were and if

you're someone who types for hours and

hours every single day I would

definitely consider checking these out

now to throw in a variation of this the

display will also rotate vertically so

the instance where you potentially

wanted to use your LG Graham as your

main display and take advantage of that

vertical real estate you can also do

that as well now this looks awesome but

for me I've never really used a vertical

display or been a fan but if you rock

one and you're set up let me know with a

comment down below now initially when I

asked you guys on Twitter what this

setup might need the number one answer

was a chair unfortunately this chair

cannot do this but the good news is it

is not 399 it is much cheaper in fact

it's around 60 bucks on Amazon it's

insanely comfortable complements the

desk legs really well inside note it's

what allowed me to grab some of the

shots in this video

 

now potentially the most interesting

thing about this setup has got to be the

speakers which is actually LG's sj7

sound bar but comma Iowa this is the

sound bar actually is split off into two

separate stereo speakers so you can use

them in a multitude of ways for this

setup it allowed for a really unique

vertical look which i think looks

awesome but why it works so well with

this is the fact that can connect

wirelessly through bluetooth to the LG

gramm there's also a subwoofer which

kind of rounds out the sound gives you

that oomph at low end and even though

these speakers weren't meant for desktop

they work amazingly well and I think

round out the entire experience that

again follows the idea of leaving

everything but the laptop at the desk

that way when I come back I have a

keyboard of a mouse of a beautiful

display and amazing sounding audio

lastly I have no idea where I found this

plant but if I find it I will drop a

link down below that also includes a

salt lab because I know you were

thinking about that thank you guys so

much for watching this is Jonathan and I

will catch you guys later
