This is probably the "greeting" I send every time I pass by my editing partner's desktop. For people like me who can't work well as long as the desktop is messy, it is unacceptable for such a messy desktop to appear in my field of vision. So, he happened to be on a business trip recently and secretly transformed the desktop. At present, he uses a MacBook Pro 13, a monitor connected to the docking station, and a wired keyboard and mouse. At the same time, he also uses an extra iPad for information browsing, and is equipped with an official Bluetooth keyboard cover (how extravagant). This makes his desktop virtually piled up with a lot of equipment and wires, which is messy and difficult to clean.
My initial intention is to transform to the wireless direction, and the wireless desktop I studied mainly considers two issues: one is the quality of the device itself, and the other is the reliability of the wireless performance of the device. The quality of the equipment itself will be mentioned first, mainly because there are still some devices that can't be wireless, or the effect after wireless is far less than wired, so these devices are required to have high practicability and high integration. Among them, it is still difficult to make the monitor and speaker purely wireless, so my requirements for the monitor are simpler connection, high quality and support for expansion, while the speaker mainly pursues high quality.
On the basis of my colleague's original desktop, I decisively helped him to eliminate the original 27-inch 2K resolution monitor and replace it with a new PD2700U monitor. For a notebook with excellent display effect such as MacBook Pro, it is unreasonable not to match a display with similar quality. BenQ PD2700U is a 27-inch 4K resolution monitor, which has been color calibrated before leaving the factory. It has a color depth of 10bit, supports 99% sRGB color gamut display, and also has lifting and rotating functions. Basically, it has everything he needs. After all, editing often requires retouching and code words. This kind of high-resolution and high-quality screen still suits him very well.
In addition, it also adds intelligent eye function, including reducing blue light and strobe, and intelligent dimming function patented by BenQ. For overtime workers who go to work at sunrise and go home at the moon, this screen that automatically adjusts brightness like a mobile phone is really practical. After all, there are too many screens in our lives. Since you can't avoid looking at the screen, let's make the screen more attractive. Of course, you should pay more attention to the habit of using your eyes.
As an editor, it is really normal to stay up late to write articles, and it is inevitable to bump into a midnight press conference occasionally. In order to provide first-hand information for the tail, all these are necessary, and of course the necessary protective measures must be done. Here, I have prepared a ScreenBar and chandelier in BenQ to fill the light on the desktop of the code word at night. This is not only for editing, but also for continuing your creation in a way that does not affect others when using the scene in the bedroom or dormitory.
This ScreenBar Plus really belongs to an online celebrity product that suddenly caught fire in the past six months. Everyone who has used it likes it very much, and I have only recently come into contact with it. It can automatically adjust the brightness of the light according to the brightness of the environment, and also supports color temperature adjustment, so that you can find the right brightness and color temperature whether you play games or work. This reminds me of the scene where I secretly stayed up late to play games. Do you think if I have this chandelier, my myopia will be lighter?
Wireless reliability and endurance performance are very important for wireless peripheral products. As a result of the combination of the two, you will become very worry-free in daily use and be able to concentrate on the matter at hand.
Here I choose Logitech's vertical mouse and craft keyboard, mainly considering several factors: First, their wireless connection is more stable, whether it is 2.4GHz or Bluetooth; Second, they all adapt to macOS and have good compatibility; Third, they all use USB-C interface and built-in lithium battery, completely abandoning the old microUSB interface, which is very avant-garde among many peripherals (especially vertical mice), and there is no need to prepare a microUSB cable for peripherals. Damn it, in what age, most of the mice on the market are still microUSB interfaces. Although it is more economical for manufacturers, it can be said that it is very uncomfortable for some avant-garde consumers.
Of course, they also have some other characteristics.
The technology keyboard has knobs, which can not only simply adjust the volume, but also preset some convenient and quick operations for various productivity software (such as Adobe family bucket), and of course support custom operations. The intelligent backlight of the keyboard will automatically light up when the hand approaches, and will automatically go out when the hand leaves, and can also be automatically adjusted according to the ambient light; It supports fast charging and can connect three devices at the same time, so that a colleague's iPad doesn't need a separate keyboard, and he can even pair a mobile phone if he wants.
The vertical mouse is more prominent in its ergonomic design of vertical grip. Considering that people hold the mouse for more and more time now, this design can reduce wrist fatigue. It also has Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connection mode, which supports simultaneous connection and fast switching of three devices.
Having said that, it seems that they haven't talked about their battery life yet. The battery life of the vertical mouse is worthy of recognition. After I got it, I only charged it less than three times, which is enough to be described as reassuring. The endurance of the craft keyboard is weaker. Officials say it can last for a week. In fact, it takes almost a week to go to work every day, and its brothers (K380, K480, K780) have several months of battery life. Considering its design with built-in battery, my expectation is that it can last for one month.
There are many wireless mice and keyboards on the market at present. The mouse has ergonomic design and symmetrical design, and the keyboard also has mechanical and thin film design. Which design you choose depends mainly on your personal hobbies and which features you are willing to pay for. But for wireless peripherals, the most basic experience is to ensure stable and excellent wireless performance, long-lasting endurance performance, and comfortable feel after long-term use. For example, the Logitech G6 13 wireless keyboard I used before also supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, and its battery life is also very good. The disadvantage is that the key position and macOS do not match, and Logitech's mechanical shaft feels hard to say.
Another wireless device, to be exact, is Anker's vertical wireless charging base. Nowadays, many mobile phones, whether iPhone or Android, have added facial recognition. Therefore, when using the computer, it is essential to unlock the mobile phone most conveniently and quickly. When you come to the information, just move your eyes from the display to the screen of your mobile phone and unlock your mobile phone to view the information. If it is unimportant information, you don't even need to leave the keyboard. My current iPhone XS and Samsung Galaxy S 10 both support wireless charging. Although the speed is definitely slow, it is an office use scene after all, and the requirements for charging speed are not so harsh.
Since the new MacBook Pro has all used USB-C ports, and you know that it is not so easy to collect a complete set of USB-C port peripheral accessories now, a docking station is still essential. In the company, I prefer to use this Nucleum docking station in Kingston. One of its USB-C ports can be connected to the power adapter, so there is no need to connect an additional power cord. HDMI cable is provided randomly and directly connected to PD2700U display. At the same time, there are SD and TF card slots, which are convenient for me to export photos from the camera.
Well, this adjustment is basically wireless in daily use, but occasionally it is necessary to charge some devices that do not support wireless charging. At this time, a double-headed USB-C cable and a USB-C to lightning cable are always available, and even the MacBook Pro is directly solved. At this time, the MacBook Pro is a big charger, and both iPad and iPhone can be charged.
After some tossing, we can find that it is not so difficult to make the study desktop wireless. The key is to plan the purpose of each device on the desktop reasonably and ensure that they can meet your needs well, because there are thousands of products now, and it is often not so easy to find out what really meets your needs. Here, I also work with my colleagues to make some personal changes according to my usual habits and needs. If you have any better suggestions, please come forward!
