Most productive setup with Macbook M1?

Question

macOS

How would you implement your productivity setup with a Macbook Air M1 for development (front-end)? What external keyboard/mouse? Original or not and why? My main working machine was a laptop on Windows with an external monitor, a keyboard for 400 r and a wireless mouse for 500 r. It was the most convenient. A PC was not needed, but it was not inferior in terms of convenience. He did everything very quickly. I got a macbook (not necessarily for professional purposes) and ran into some issues for productive work. It's perfect as a laptop, but what about connecting external devices? The standard cheap keyboard will not work, at least because of the layout, the mouse conflicts with the trackpad (it is impossible to make it scroll in one direction). I will be glad to read any opinion. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The owner of a 15" firmware. A perfectly balanced laptop and organoleptically pleasant, maybe I haven't seen it better. An external monitor is enough for me to work comfortably. And it's not so easy to find an external monitor with a larger diagonal and not inferior in quality, so that it doesn't hurt your eyes. The keyboard, for me, is not inferior to cheap full-size ones.Reversing the trackpad is done with one setting, I forgot what it is called, something inverse there.And you will not get the complex of amenities (multi-finger swipes) provided by the trackpad when controlling a macbook with any mouse.
As a stationary machine, I use an assembly on the Lga2011 platform with two Xeon stones and server ECC memory, two Dell U series monitors, an Nvidia Quadro vidyuha (Quadro is more affordable than ST, because they are not mined), in a LIAN LI box, a full-size keyboard with mechanical (clicky) buttons, wired gaming mouse (SteelSeries worked for me). Everything was bought second hand. In terms of price, the assembly was cheaper than the machine from Cupertino, it bypasses the case in terms of performance))
In summary, you have an excellent laptop that, if necessary and possible, can be connected to a good external monitor. I think the idea of ​​making a stationary car out of it is not fruitful.

Answer 2

1) buy a wired Apple keyboard with a numpad for a couple of thousand rubles on the secondary market. Stick the keyboard into the monitor, stick the mouse into the keyboard (unlike wireless ones, wired ones have two usb connectors) - you just have to plug the beech into the monitor when you get home.
2) just put the monitor behind the laptop and use the beech keyboard / trackpad

Answer 3

What external keyboard/mouse?

The one on which you personally feel more comfortable working, and which one you like aesthetically.

My main working machine was a laptop on Windows with an external monitor, a keyboard for 400 r and a wireless mouse for 500 r. It was the most convenient

Then leave it like that. When you touch alternative keyboards, then you will answer yourself.

The standard cheap clave will not work, at least because of the layout

And why is that? Just in the settings you specify which layout is used on your external keyboard.

Mouse conflicts with trackpad

The Mac has a very cool trackpad, so why not use it?
Although again - the direction of the scroll is configurable.

Answer 4

China for 1000 rubles did not take root for me. That's why it stopped working after six months. Weird ?
Logitech k380 4th month. Here the price is under 4k.
Compromise with your toad to give 11k for the original.
On all the keyboards, there are still not enough buttons familiar to Windows.
From what is now annoying when I go back to Windows.
reaching for control is not convenient. the habit appeared on cmd (left - alt winds)
And there and there I set up switching languages ​​to tabulation. Under Windows delivered an external switcher.
I prefer wired mice. Annoying already on bt clave that it does not wake up immediately. And I rarely use a mouse. So, delays in waking up infuriate more often than with Claudia.
The direction of the wheelbarrow and the mouse in different directions cannot be done. The switch works on both tabs.
I didn’t look for it, but I think it should be possible to automate when connecting or take a shortcut closer.

Answer 5

I have m1 macbook pro.
The only wish is a bigger screen.
From what is worth buying for stationary work - a monitor in the region of 28 "4k and a DP cable to it, it is better if it has PD TYPE-c power. I have a used samsung e590d.
In the past (2010-2014) when I was doing video, it was a setup of two expensive NEC.As for the keyboard and mouse.My
mouse
has just been lying around for more than 4 years.The poppy's touchbar is just
perfect.But I would buy an external touchbar 2 and a magic keyboard 2, the price of the issue is around 20k
But I would add a bracket for a monitor and a laptop, on alik it costs around 7 thousand.
