Sorry sir. What apps again for screen configuration?
how do you run macos onto the monitor?
you can lower your sound by just putting low sound in audio settings if the keyboard thing annoys you
why do you not use a mousepad Ali?
I like the background on the screen we’re do you download that
What arm mount do you use for your monitor ?
Absolute garbage setup.
you should get a custom keyboard
Can we get links for your desktop wallpapers?
The spiteful postage advantageously scrape because pentagon perplexingly burn after a ten mice. good, disturbed daisy
What is that monitor arm???? I have the same LG but I need an arm
5:50 let’s be honest that is so relatable!!

Blue keys D:
Background wallpaper link?
8:56 You know, to pay a bit extra to get a minimalist aesthetic seems a bit off from the definiton of minimalism.
Lol my mom still oppose when I buy expensive stuff. I have been an adult for a long time 🤣
Arre bhai mere. Ab kya saare organs bech dun aise setup ke liye?
I love your workstation. beautiful!
What is the app he says at 1:07?
there is a white mx master that would match your white colour theme
thank you man, your setup looks sick and i was looking forward to what you use.
can I connect a 2028 MacBook Air to this monitor?
Ali, can you send a link to that background you have, Firewatch is one of my favorite games.
Nice sound????…
Hey Ali, can you do a review on the Remarkable 2 for note writing? Is it worth the price?
That is the big reason why u have that much big glasses at a small age..
Forget everything else, I noticed a ‘call Nani’ in written to-do lists. you’ve nailed it, good lad.
What is that wallpaper name
no idea if I missed it but what is the arm holding the monitor called?
Here is my real desk/office setup. Had to post this as I see all the videos of these peoples workspace and none are a mess or look worked in. Mine definitely looks worked in
https://youtu.be/yuTjxlfymD8
Did he just say cherry mx blue sound great?
within a year I need to make a desk like you
My friend, can you send a link to that background you have. Firewatch is one of my favorite games.
@Ali Abdaal
Where did you get the letter opener? did I miss that link?
lol does a fake plant actually boost creativity? I love real ones though because they release oxygen and act as air purifiers
note: when you have the arm rests up, don’t rest your elbows on them. I did that after seeing this only two weeks ago and after a week I developed cubital tunnel syndrome which is causing numbness in my ring and pinky fingers. I may need to get surgery to release the pressure on the nerve now. If you do put your arms on the armrests, don’t put your elbows on them.
That chair is almost half the price of my whole setup.
I bought myself an M1 chip Mac Mini after watching yours and KharmaMedic’s video
One day I will have this setup ❤️❤️
Ali Abdaal is one of the most inspiring people of today. I am lucky to be living in the same era as him.
What wallpaper is that?
Wow
Can some send a download link for his Computer Wallpaper 🥺🙏
Wallpaper?
Rather obsessive.
Yo Ali that intro was sick
A good work environment makes all the difference when it comes to staying productive!
What wallpaper is that?!?!
instead of of a mac mini i would have gone for a macbook pro or air because you can carry it everywhere and connect it to an external monitor
