Turn your Mac mini or laptop into a desktop by adding a 4K TV,
keyboard, and mouse

One of the best ways to improve your experience, productivity and creativity is to add a large 4K monitor to your workspace. I think a 32” (measured diagonally) 4K TV is the best option in terms of cost/size. A larger screen eliminates eye strain, allows you to have multiple windows open at the same time, and helps you move text, web links, photos, videos, and documents easily among them. It is such an enjoyable experience to edit your photos and videos on a big, colorful screen. The TV needs to have at least one HDMI port (2-3 HDMI ports would be better). A full size bluetooth keyboard (with Touch ID), and a bluetooth mouse are the basic needs. You’ll need a webcam to attach to your 4K TV monitor for Zoom or FaceTime videochats. If you have a limited number of ports on your Mac, connecting your peripherals to a USB-C hub makes it easy to move from a desktop setting to portable. Unplug one cable and you are on your way!

  • 4K Television / Computer Monitor

    You’ll need a monitor for your Mac mini. It can be attached to any of your existing TV screens in your home (most have at least one HDMI port). However, if you’d like to have a dedicated monitor, I’d recommend a 4K Television with a 32” - 55” screen. The Dell 32 Plus model S3225QS is the perfect size for a desktop and beautiful 4K (3840 × 2160 resolution) screen to work with your beautiful photos and videos.

    If you own a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, this 4K TV provides lots of room to work with multiple applications / windows in a large view that won’t strain your eyes.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keyboard

    If you have a Mac with a Silicon chip (M1 - M5), then this full size keyboard will be compatible with it. This keyboard has a Touch ID button to make it easy to authenticate settings, online purchases, etc. I find it faster to type on the full size keyboard and the numeric keyboard makes it easier to work with accounting and spreadsheet data entries.

  • Logitech MX Master 3s Mouse

    The Logitech MX Master 3S is the most comfortable, responsive and precise mouse I have ever used. It can connect with up to three devices and switch between them with the touch of a button. Speaking of buttons, there are many customizable buttons you can configure on this mouse. It is by far one of the most important tech tools on my desk.

  • Insta360 Link - 4K Webcam

    4K Resolution Ultra HD resolution for a crystal-clear picture.
