#How to use mac pro tower as a monitor portable#

But best of all is that I know that I can easily replace the MBP after a couple of years if I want to without spending an arm and a leg and plus have the flexibility of a portable on the odd occasion. I plan to get a slightly larger 4k monitor at some point and also sell the MBA soon. Everything is nice and quick and it seems to be reasonably cool pushing a small 24' non 4k monitor. I got a great deal for the MBP 13' 10th gen a couple weeks ago (ВЈ1375) and so far its been great. But because it was so much cheaper, I didn't mind too much knowing that I could easily replace it. Speedwise it was ok but a little frustrating when I had many things open. In late 2018 I got the MBA which was mainly for light use but only since lockdown have I been using it everyday in clamshell mode for work. I don't really want to wait 5 years+ before upgrading every time. I wasn't keen on shelling out ВЈ2k for another iMac which looked exactly the same and again wouldn't be cost effective to replace later on. I had the same 2013 iMac and in the same way, I got a bit tired of it and wanted a new Mac. If you don't need portability the Mac Mini is fine depending on your GPU needs and gives you a bit more flexibility in ram upgrades and you can always add on an eGPU if you wanted more.

The great thing about this is that it's so tidy with just a single cable and when I need to take it on travels just remove a single cable, the power brick is already in my bag and off I go.Д®ven with such a big monitor, the MBP handles it just fine, and the LG software allows an easy way to split the screen if you want multiple windows.

A single USB-C to USB-C provides both video and power/charging then I have the magic keyboard, magic mouse then a stand to sit the MBP vertically and allow any expelled heat to rise. I have recently switched from a 2 monitor set up as a friend got a widescreen and I loved it, so went for a 34 inch LG 3440x1440. Not a particularly powerful one as I don't need it, all I have is that 2019 MBP 13', 8GB Ram, 128GB SSD.

I use a PC for everything other than web development, I have a MBP for that.
