Thanks dude!!

I second this desk. I have one and it’s awesome. Built like a tank and I looooooove that it can go from sitting to standing by pressing a button.

Moving offices on Monday and I do all my work from an iPad. This is so timely. Thank you!

Love this setup. This might be the one to go with considering how good iPadOS 16 is gonna make the iPads going forward. Also with universal control, having just one keyboard and mouse setup for multiple devices is fantastic.

That fan looks like it’s still recovering from visiting Wimbledon while you set your desk up 😂

CHRIS… now this is crazy! Love it bro

Love this content ❤❤ watching in my m1 ipad pro😊❤

I have a Kensington StudioDock with a widescreen 4K monitor hooked up. I’M IN IPAD HEAVEN. I can use my USB-C for power instead of monitor out. Plus, the StudioDock serves as a hub for other USB peripherals and SD cards. I also put an iMac Rain Design MBase under it so that it’s more eye level.

Awesome setup! Everything is crisp and clean. Very nice! Salute 🫡

As always, great and fun content from Chris

This desk setup is awesome! You’ve built something great there. It’s also good that iPad is finally getting closer to work as a proper computer and iPad OS is allowing to push the iPad to it’s true potential. Stage manager seems to work pretty well too. Unfortunately I won’t get to experience it cause my 2020 iPad Pro won’t support it 🥲

Please help me, about a year ago, you showcased an amazing desk that was wooden and ergonomic. The stand could go from sitting to standing, and you could collapse it and take it with you from place to place. I'm ready to buy it, but can't remember for the life of me which video it was in. Could you or your audience please help me? this desk was manufactured by a mom-and-pop shop, and they only had like 2 products that they sold on their webpage. It was birch or light that you had on your channel, but it was available in other choices of wood if I remember correctly. THANK YOU!!!!!!! One more thing, keep up the great work, my family really enjoys all of your reviews and genius knowledge that you provide to us in your videos!

Great setup! I tried so hard, Chris, to use iPadOS/iOS as my only operating system(s). Did it for several months. Went back to my MacBook when moving several 100 files became tedious. Everything is just easier on MacOS, even simple copy and paste of text. I just purchased a new MBA, and put away my iPads, external monitors/keyboards, etc. Maybe I'll try again someday!

I know this is old but I wanted to comment, having the second screen below the main one is a game changer. Eye movement feels more natural than looking to the sides

Your videos are just easy to watch. it's amazing. thank you. please keep it up.

A "wobble-free" desk... Well got dang, I never thought of that!

nah cuz its incredible how ipads actually become somewhat of a replacement for a laptop/desktop pc for some people. i could never move on from my rig hell its even hard for me to daily drive my m1 air but seeing this video actually makes me wanna have a setup like this for my ipad

Even on ipadOs 16 I still feel claustrophobic when working on ipad. Improved, but still has a long way to go

Very nice! Love that desk pad. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I've been looking EVERYWHERE for an iPad VESA mount.

Hi Chris, I would like you to make updated videos on what's on my iPhone and what's on my iPad

Excellent video and amazing set up. Time to get a loan, so I can finally make a great desk setup for my M1 iPad Pro. I’m from uk so will have to look for alternatives for some bits.

Dual monitor setup with Studio Display and iPad, both VESA-mounted on a wall mount (or a single desk mount) would look soooo clean I guess.

@@ChrisLawley Just notified that my Mac Studio will be arriving a week early next week. The Studio Display should be a week later. I also use a 15” MBP for work. Plan is to use the SD as main display for work computer, which sits on the Rain Design iLevel2 and will serve as second monitor to the left. I ordered the vesa stand and magnetic mount for iPad Pro (slick) you shared, which will be situated to the right of the SD, and above the MS. iPad Pro will serve as second display (Sidecar) for MS, as well as controlling via Universal Control with work MBP. I could extend the display as well with iPadOS 16, but can’t really see a need/use for that now. The iPad lives with me when not in the office. Again, thanks for video.

Great video! Way to go through the whole set up process…. I prefer the setup I have currently, but that’s a awesome desk! And I like what you did with that secondary keyboard.. that’s dope!

Hi, seen video till 6:20. I would like to see the cable management for this setup.

Thanks and keep on keeping on!

Inspirational. I love it.

You say it’s nice to have the extra storage and RAM with the 2TB HD iPad Pro. Question though, aren’t the apps only able to use 5GB of RAM (or around that)? Does the extra RAM make a difference? Or is this so you can have multiple apps open at once?

Nice video Christopher! Congrats on the new setup. With this configuration, which camera/speakers/microphones iPad uses for videoconferencing (Zoom, Teams) built-in or it can use StudioDisplay Camera etc?

Awesome setup! One thing missing on the desk is a streamdeck xl, that thing is awesome for macros and all kinds of other things.it sucks it's not for iPad but if you are using a laptop you don't know what you are missing until you have one for a while and go on a trip without it.

I’m looking for a stream deck, which one do you use? I need to get the audio from the iPad though. I don’t know if it’s possible with streamdeck. I basically need a program that it’s on chrome only and doesn’t work on iPad :(

Hello, Congratulations. Awesome. 👍👏👏👏👏

where did you get the keyboard wrist rest from? it looks really nice!

Dude those legos….. 🔥

Love the setup. I had a similar plan but will cover the one cable with a cable spine. I am sure flexispot has this. The other final step is to get a outlet installed on the floor for the cable to connect to. this way you can completely cover it with the cable spine. I'm just waiting for the electrician to come to the appointment. I expect it will be a few hundred dollars. But I am getting a couple of them installed throughout the house.

I want someone to install this desk setup for me in the UK

If only apple makes a stage manager for iPad Pro 2020 as well 😞😞

Awesome video

Your setup really makes me wish I used my iPad enough to justify all the extra peripherals that go into tricking it out. In the very least, it looks like I will my upgrading my 2018 iPad Pro later this year (if Apple does release an M2 iPad) just for stage manager.

Interesting wander into what must be shark jumping waters (is an iPhone setup next?). I’m a solid iPad Pro user - heavy daily use for 4 years - but so far have shied away from going full kb/mouse while at desk. Shall have a go 👍

Love the setup man! Btw do you have the link down for the table lamp you got? Thanks!

I can’t get the iPad to do audio out to Bluetooth headphones when using usb c to monitor. Does the docking station change this?

Not sure if you’ve covered this topic before but how do you print things off your iPad?

you should use HHKBT instead 😉 dream setup nonetheless, working on there too.

iPad powerrrrr

I like the adjustable height. One concern with that set up is it difficult to touch the iPad? Looks to me purely for trackpad interaction

impressive

nice idea for video

ipad m2 doesn’t get full screen, any solution? thank you

Can u use a display port to get monitor support

Totally fleshed out setup! Very cool. 💯 Also, just wondering, does anyone know if older iPad Pro models with USB-C but without Thunderbolt also connect to external displays via HDMI? Tried a USB-C to HDMI cable but it did not work with my 2018 iPad Pro.

I just use the iPad camera. Webcams aren’t supported yet.

Looks like Flexispot discriminates against UK customers, the specs for the E7 are nowhere as good as the one you showed on the specs comparison sheet. I also found out that their desks are manufactured in China, as Flexispot itself descended from a Chinese OEM called Loctek. I avoid Chinese made goods wherever possible, because the quality almost always never holds up over time, compared to products manufactured in Europe or the USA.
