Very cool there.

I'm looking to buy a Dell TB16 (Thunderbolt dock) to use with my XPS-13. Having every port filled on the notebook currently is a little annoying. In addition to that, the built in audio is poor. A colleague has one, and speaks quite highly of it. Not paying the ~£200 Dell want, though.

I can HIGHLY recommend the HP G5 dock.

I now have one usbc cable into my ZBook17 and although it says that it doesnt support charging, it does. Its charged my machine up with heavy use fine so I dunno.

Its driving two monitors, 2x USBAs and taking ethernet too. It isn't that small, but perfect for leaving at work or at your desk and only needs one plug.

Good to note. Thanks. Looking into a couple of options without spending £££ yet. Whatever I do buy will be left on my desk at home for now, and then go to live in the office once we're allowed back in.

Yes, I really like it, especially because of how adjustable it is and its ability to recline so much - I can be almost fully horizontal! I think it's comfortable because it's firm, just like having a firm mattress can be more comfortable too. If you want a really squishy chair, this won't be for you!

MBP doesn't normally make it onto the desk, but I've been working away until last week. Gone back under the desk now.

Love this set up. Do you use the external connector dock for screen use or is that purely for SD cards etc?

[768]

The dock's only really used for SD cards at home. As above, the monitor charges the MacBook via USB and there's a USB hub off that so it doesn't get much other use at home.

It's more useful when away. Used it to plug in a USB-A CO2 monitor a couple of weeks ago when I was working in an office with no ventilation. Turns it into a laptop with a normal set of ports.

The symmetry, elegance, precise and measured approach.




Defo phsyco stuff.

Tidy?! It's obviously a display from Ikea. That desk has clearly never been used for actual work.

You don't have to look too far away to find piles of stuff just dumped. There's a 4ft high pile of cardboard boxes off to the left too.

Why are so many of you running multi-screen setups?

I want one.

I don't know why I want one, but it looks cool. I'd probably slick back my hair and wear braces, whilst shouting into my phone urgently with it tucked under my chin.

You can work on one screen and have a boxset on the other

And muted news channel on third, for when the zombies appear.

I'm not sure, mine is tidy because 99.9% of my work is digital and I keep things structured (i.e. avoid mess in general).

Work on one side and non-work on the other.
