Apple silicon computers have serious staying power. Setups left and right feature M1 machines, released in late 2020, including today’s featured setup. The user said their M4 Mac mini pretty much took over for their M1 MacBook Pro in the workstation. So they reserve their “semi-retired” laptop for outdoor use, though it’s still running strong after more than five years of constant use.

Dual MacBook rig seems quite at home in camera and Lego museum [Setups]

Lego models and camera collection
Plenty of users adorn their setups with knick-knacks, but rarely do we see such extensive collections. And a pooch, no less.

OK, today’s MacBook setup doesn’t actually live in a camera and Lego museum like the headline on this post suggests — but close enough. The user is clearly a collector. The sheer number of cameras on display is impressive, and the Lego Star Wars spaceships flying up high on a shelf in the photo inspire some awe, too. And it’s not every day we see a dual-MacBook setup with both mounted open on stands, either.

Few things take a computer setup up a few notches more than a good monitor mount — especially when it features dual arms positioning dual displays well off the desk. Today’s M4 Mac mini setup enjoys a pair of solidly affordable 4K Asus displays mounted on a Huanuo Dual Monitor Stand with two highly adjustable arms for optimal positioning.

This MacBook Pro refurb is a great way to get a high-end machine with insane battery life on the cheap.

For just $550 (nearly half off) you get a 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro for $100 less than Walmart is selling a brand-new M1 MacBook Air.

These machines are almost identical except the Pro has an internal CPU fan that allows the M1 chip to perform at its maximum.

“You’re getting the same computer with a better cooling system for sustained performance for $100 less, so it’s a steal,” said Cult of Mac writer D Griffin Jones in our internal Slack.

Plus, this MacBook Pro boasts the infamous Touch Bar (which some people love) plus an extra high-performance Thunderbolt 4 port.

It's not like it's an incomplete setup, either.

Today’s MacBook Pro setup so excels at saving space it fits more into its little nook under a staircase than many people, including me, fit in setups without that constraint. In addition to the usual, they’ve even got multiple game systems, two printers and a book collection in there. And the user still rocks a version of my previous laptop, the great M1 Pro MacBook Pro. No doubt it’s still good for a few more years.
