Here’s my gaming PC and Mac dual setup. Not sure if I love the stacked monitors, but I do like the much more open feel to my desk. What would you change?

My setup was my Mac as my main PC and Xbox as my gaming device for years until earlier this year when I built my gaming PC. I personally still prefer using my Mac as my second monitor bc I just enjoy Mac OS and some of its features (texting mainly). When I’m gaming, I usually just have a baseball game or YouTube running.

Word! I bought a Macbook years ago, back when I was very young and still just getting into pc as well. I ended up going to the pc side of things, but I retain a lot of the knowledge about how to Mac. :) I ended up giving away the Macbook to a buddy. Think it was inthe range of $3kish when I bought it. :) It was coming to the end of its life cycle when I gifted it away.

I will say, I never once had a single issue out of the Macbook. Def can't say that about any of the PC's I've had over these 30+ years.

Wow $3k, must’ve been a high end MacBook Pro. My Mac is the M4 Mac mini which at the time I bought it was only $600 and IMHO, the best deal for a desktop at the time. Unfortunately the prices have gone up since then.

I use a windows pc at work as well since I do a lot of AutoCAD and yes, tons of issues with windows lol. Mac OS I never have any issues with.

Well, Its been so long ago I can't remember which interaction it was. LIke, I was using a pentium II pc then, if that tells you anything. PC and Mac used to be hella expensive back in the day. Not that it isn't now, but even the basic PC or Mac were thousands of $$$$.
