A Mac mini and a massive screen make for a great combo [Setups]

Duncan Schultz, a government official from the land down under, started working from his home in Brisbane earlier this year. It turned out to be a great opportunity to upgrade his setup. He got rid of his 2015 iMac and instead bought himself a 2020 Mac mini and decided to experiment. He specced out his Mac mini with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. He wanted plenty of screen real estate without having two screens. So he connected it to a Samsung 43-inch 4K Smart TV and is not looking back.

Schultz also bought himself a sit/stand desk to promote a healthier lifestyle. Both his desk and monitor stand are from Slimline Warehouse.

He uses Apple’s Magic duo as peripherals. He pairs his Magic Keyboard with Numerical Keypad with a Magic Trackpad. He also has an AVerMedia Live Streamer for video recording. It has a 360-degree swivel so he can be filmed from every angle.

When he is not working he is either “mucking about or running Roll20 games with friends from across the globe.” That is why he has a Logitech G533 Wireless Gaming Headset. He also has a Sonos One smart speaker for when he is in the mood to blast some tunes.
