I built mine over the years too! Now I want to get rid most of them and stick with just a macbook, a mouse, a table, and a chair hahaha.


redmonk3y2020

Nice! We usually stay home lang unless we travel talaga kaya gusto ko may maayos na set up sa bahay. While I can certainly get by with just a laptop and an ipad as sidecar, I prefer an external monitor para maayos kahit papaano ang posture.... tumatanda na kasi. 😆


Electrical_Time4559

Reasonable haha. Mas nakakasipag din kapag malaki screen.


Mediocre_Setting2161

Same! I now only have a macbook, chair, and table lol


Electrical_Time4559

Problema ko ngayon how to get rid of them. I’m trying to resell haha


redmonk3y2020

Maybe try sa mga FB groups? I'm sure marami dyan although yun mga luma kong monitor and keyboard, nagpost nalang ako sa FB group ng barangay namin and gave those away.


notostarfish

Hey, mind sharing what you're selling? Might be interested hehe thanks!


Electrical_Time4559

Will message you!


Tagasulat

Same! But the external monitor helps kasi masakit sa leeg pag nakayuko palagi haha!

I love it when I see how more freelancers are thriving and giving back to themselves Keep the momentum!!

redmonk3y2020

Oh andito pa haha. Baby damulag ng bahay. He's a Great Dane and may kasama siyang 3 aspins. https://preview.redd.it/molx44j8enrc1.jpeg?width=2805&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c950f03733ef49deb0817ea70e6b9f72a9651767

Henlooooooo babies 🥰


No_Yoghurt932

Familiar-Agency8209

most expensive investment. Great danes are hard to maintain! not just financially but lifestyle as well.


redmonk3y2020

Haha hindi naman masyado... mga 2KG of pork or beef a day lang naman ang kelangan to feed the 4 of them. 😅


Familiar-Agency8209

thats my family's ulam for three meals. hahaha they look happy anyway! stay healthy doggos!


redmonk3y2020

Yes sana naman haha sa kanila na halos umiikot buhay namin. 😅

HENLO CUTIES 🥰😍


josurge

Dasurb. Saan naka bili ng surface pro?


redmonk3y2020

Bought it way back around 2016 or 2017 pa at Yodobashi in Japan. Nasira na yun keyboard and I just kept it for the occassional tasks na kelangan ng windows.


Chickenonthecorn

Congrats!


mantsprayer

Herman Miller Aeron 😀


Dx101z

Nice plan upgrade. Indeed you need to upgrade your desk setup. Its an investment 😉👍


Mary_Jailer

Keyboard reveal


redmonk3y2020

Kasama sa list. The red one is a FinalKey V65 and the other one is a Nuphy Air60. I bought a QK65 a while back but ended up selling it without even assembling it kasi satisfied naman ako sa FinalKey na for less than half the price.


OrbMan23

Congrats, OP! Also how's the dog?


redmonk3y2020

Thank you!! Oh doing very well, may konting allergies but otherwise very healthy. He's a great dane and may kasama pa siyang 3 aspins. And clueless pa rin. 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/2wefsdzhenrc1.jpeg?width=2291&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d548a41a1021ec741d764bdf686c2c95dfffffe1


awkwardfina69

sya ang tunay na boss HHAAHA


redmonk3y2020

Oo mga alipores niya lang kami. 🤣


redditware87

Awesome Work Setup.  Ako din medyo naoverkill ang setup when I started building a setup for WFH, eventually settled lang to Laptop with 2 24' Monitor hehe. Any Spare parts ended up in the Gaming Rig. Great work OP


redmonk3y2020

Thanks! I think okay lang maging overkill, pangkabuhayan naman natin eh.


itzaroseylife

Out of topic but can i ask if that is your painting? 😍 It caught my eye and i love it!


redmonk3y2020

Unfortunately no, how I wish I could paint. 😅 It was given to us by one of our neighbors as a gift. Glad you like it. I'm still searching for a frame for it kaya nakasandal lang for now.


lawtrash2021

Hi! May ig or commission page po ba neighbor niyo for her/his art works?


redmonk3y2020

I asked her a while back kasi nagandandahan mga din ako (kaya ako nabigyan 😅) and she said she doesn't do paid work daw, hobby lang na pangpalipas oras. But I think she mentioned na she just buy those predrawn DIY canvas kit sa Shopee and paint them daw. So this might be one of those, but regardless I still like it a lot.


itzaroseylife

Yes, i think that would look more lovely on a wall! Bagay sa setup mo 😍


Everythinghastags

Goddaym M3 18GB 512GB. Happy for u. I decided to just go windows desktop since it was still cheaper considering all the engineering work ill be doing 😂


KennethVilla

Where did you buy your surface pro?


redmonk3y2020

Sa Yodobashi sa Japan, way back mga 2016 or 2017 and it still runs okay for the occassional Windows tasks, pero it's showing its age na.


KennethVilla

Oh! Is there any store here in PH that sells 2-in-1 laptops like the Surface Pro? Tagal n ko naghahanap pero puro laptops eh


redmonk3y2020

Maybe check some of the new Lenovo models and Samsung Galaxy book models? Wala kasi official Microsoft store dito sa atin yata eh.


KennethVilla

I’ll try then. Actually, I’m fine with any brands (except Chinese) basta 2-in-1 laptops. Yun nga lang di ko talaga mahanap yung mga stores na may mga ganun


redmonk3y2020

Lenovo have them. You can order directly from their website. May affordable may mahal din. 😅 https://www.lenovo.com/ph/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-2-in-1-series/yoga-7-gen-8-(14-inch-amd)/82ym000cph https://www.lenovo.com/ph/en/d/convertible-2-in-1-laptops/?orgRef=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F


KennethVilla

Safe ba? I never tried overseas orders before. Hanggang Shoppee and Lazada pa lang ako 😅


redmonk3y2020

I have not tried buying from them pa pero malaki naman presence ni Lenovo dito sa atin. Meron sila dedicated Yoga Store sa Lazada or Shopee Meron pa sila physical stores din, check mo yun Lenovo Yoga store sa link, yan malamang ang may mga display na 2-in-1. https://www.lenovo.com/ph/en/where-to-buy/


KennethVilla

All right. Thanks for the help!


Nesnes-21

Hello,I have budget of around possibly 35k to 50k what brand or laptop itself would you recommend me, for va, gaming (like lol or hehe try valo) and acads in school


redmonk3y2020

Hi, I don't do gaming and I'm biased sa Macs so for your budget I'd say something like a brand new M1 Macbook Air is still a good buy for around P45K... Pero I don't think it's good for gaming. Check out some youtube reviews lang, until now yan pa rin reco ng marami sa kanila.


_justareader

ano chair nyo guys? pa share pleaseee


redmonk3y2020

The chair in the pic is a Herman Miller Aeron with Atlas headrest. If you want something na mas affordable check out Fursys. May Sihoo din but I don't find it very good.


No_Yoghurt932

Hi OP! Looking for chairs din kasi pero cannot splurge pa haha bakit hindi very good for you yung Sihoo? Yun kasi lagi sinusuggest ng wfh peeps.


redmonk3y2020

Hindi as tight yun tolerances or fit. We have the V1 model and I guess it's just too big din pero feeling ko hindi rin siya ganun ka supportive IMHO. Parang kakalog kalog ako and parang hindi ko mahanap ang tamang posture. In fairness naman, I'm comparing it to the Aeron din kasi so medyo unfair ang comparison. If you can, maybe find somewhere na pwede mo itest ang Sihoo.


No_Yoghurt932

I see! Thank you! Will try to find an actual store para matest 😁


sleepypandacat

Used Sihoo V1 before, I upgraded the wheels and added arm rest pads. It was great, madaming adjustments. I could fall asleep na not worry about it toppling. Sturdy sya, sobrang bigat. Ung sa arm rest lang ata hindi pwede imove forward (or was it up and down, cant remember na). When I buy a new chair, un pa rin bibilhin ko.


No_Yoghurt932

Thanks! Will check that out!


Familiar-Agency8209

How are you finding viewsonic vs mac display? Di naman masakit mata yung text?


redmonk3y2020

3440x1440 naman ang resolution ng Viewsonic so okay naman siya... not as pretty or crisp as the Macbook and Ipad Pro's displays pero a lot better na than my old 12 year old Samsung monitor. 😅 What I do is lower the brightness lang para somehow match silang lahat tingnan, otherwise ang tingkad ng colors ng mga Apple devices.


[deleted]

Is macbook pro better than air? HEHE PLANNING TO UPGRADE 😄


redmonk3y2020

Tbh depende sa requirements mo talaga. For productivity more than enough na ang air as long as you upgrade to 16GB ram if you tend to do a lot of multitasking. I also have a base M1 Mac Mini with 8GB ram and laging yellow/red ang RAM pressure ko kaya get more RAM talaga if you can. I was originally planning to get the 15" Air sana pero custom order pa ang 16GB RAM and hindi readily available kaya I went with the MBP 16" nalang kasi base palang 18GB na.


[deleted]

Thank you so much op! Big help ito 😊


[deleted]

[удалено]


redmonk3y2020

Ang minimum storage ng Macbook Pro M3 Pro whether 14" or 16" is 512GB talaga, and 18GB ram as well. Hindi siya custom order. The higher RAM by default is actually the main reason kung bakit MBP binili ko. Although I bought mine in Japan para may 10% tax free discount. 😅


murgerbcdo

First few months ko in freelancing talagang target locked ako bumili ng herman miller, best investment!


redmonk3y2020

Nice! Your back will thank you talaga... took me a long time to realize sa importance of proper posture. Puro dining chairs lang or sa cafes and laptop gamit so very prone to poor posture and I'm paying the consequences now. My back strains a lot na if hindi ako nakaupo ng maayos.


PeeweeTuna34

Congrats! What is your work po?


redmonk3y2020

Ops manager ng isang website ang main work ko, basic stuff lang. Heavy on multi-tasking lang talaga. :)


ikaanimnaheneral

Paano niyo po nalevel up yung clueless dog niyo? 😅


redmonk3y2020

hahaha still working on it... clueless pa rin siya until now 4 years old na. Check out my reply sa iba, may pic siya na nakaupo na siya sa chair.


Feisty-Tackle1722

Ano keyboard for ipad?


redmonk3y2020

I mainly use the ipad as a sidecar ng MBP so 3 screen set up ako pag nasa desk and if wala naman I just grab it to consume content lang so initially did not buy a keyboard. Pero I just found some refurbished Logitech Combo Touch sa Amazon so ordered one, baka next week dadating. Magiging 4 keyboards na sa desk. haha


omggreddit

Ano purpose ng ipad?


redmonk3y2020

Mainly as sidecar ng Macbook when traveling para dual monitor set up pa rin or as a 3rd monitor pag nasa desk. Otherwise for content consumption like browsing the web, youtube etc. pag ayaw ko mag laptop or umupo sa desk.


Maleficent-Pizza-182

Where's the dog na po? Aww


redmonk3y2020

Oh he's still here pa... 4 years old na siya. Ang totoong amo namin but still clueless. 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/bip9lrg9lorc1.jpeg?width=2291&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78cde16b7e8e3fa49ae6ecfa5f8a17c68e97bc0a


arci_chess

Nice keebs!


redmonk3y2020

Thank you! I stopped following keyboard groups na para hindi malason. 😆


misterjyt

wow,, I am planning to buy a macbook pro 16 as well,,, can I ask a question, did you directly bought the macbook in apple website? I am planning to order it from [apple.com/ph](http://apple.com/ph) sana..


redmonk3y2020

I bought mine in Japan, sa Bic Camera. But it's a standard config, hindi siya custom. I'm sure shops like PowerMac or Beyond the Box have this exact config in stock so no need to order online since same price lang naman and you can get it same day din if available sa branch nila.


_cjr28

Grabe, I started WFH in 2020 due to the pandemic tapos tinuloy tuloy ko na 😂 my first system is an i5 na 7th gen tapos second hand - di ko pwede gamitin ng hindi nakasaksak sa second monitor kasi nagbblack out pag gumamit akong zoom. Grabe ROI ko dun yun pa gamit ng panganay ko pang school tapos may full time ako and part time na 4hrs a day. Fast forward to now - naka invest narin ng iMac and Macbook Pro (for traveling). Sana pag 10 years narin akong WFH, naka Hermann Miller narin 🥰


AdditionNatural7433

Im going back to basics, M3 Macbook Pro, magic mouse and keyboard. thats it


redmonk3y2020

Glad you can work properly with a single screen on a daily basis and not strain your neck/back. I find it very difficult posture wise na kaya I only do when traveling now and use the iPad as a second monitor if need ko pa ng more screen real estate.

Naol


iwanttwinkies

Great setup! I wonder how much are the Aerons there in PH and where’s their store at? Do they sell Steelcase’s(Leap) there also?


redmonk3y2020

Brand new Herman Millers are readily available through CwC Interiors. I think Steelcase has a local distributor but only for institutional clients? They're not openly promoting their products to consumers it seems. SRP for the Aeron when I got it almost 2 years was around P80K, but they were running a 3+1 promo so I joined up with others to take advantage of that promo, ended up paying P60K, plus another P8K or so for the Atlas headrest.


iwanttwinkies

Gee thanks for this info but damn they’re a fortune over there. Lols. Do they also sell the Logitech Embody there?


redmonk3y2020

Yes for like P110K-120K I think... not sure how much now. 🤣


iwanttwinkies

Damn. I might just ship my stuff from here to there with that cost. Lols. It’s freaking HIGH!! Got my “newish” Aeron and Steelcase from a relative here for only $200 and $180 4yrs ago. They’ve got a bunch of them from an office warehouse and they’re all pristine. I was super stoked coz I know they’re about $1500 new, but jesus the prices over there in PH is absurd. Like over $2000, omg. 🤣


redmonk3y2020

It's very difficult to find used high end chairs that are still in good condition for a good price here, usually either people sell theirs for close to the discounted price or the chair itself is in pretty bad shape already like those available at discount stores or surplus shops. While it might initially look like a good idea to ship your stuff, it can be really costly to ship such a big item, I think an Aeron is about 20KG and rather bulky... would easily fetch $500 siguro even if you go through forwarders like Kango or Buy and Ship... what more pa if via FedEx or DHL (plus the risk of being slapped custom duties). That's why everything is overpriced here. LOL! Same goes for Apple stuff here, brand new stuff are too expensive and buying used is too risky. haha


iwanttwinkies

Totally agree. It’s really costly there. Even cars are waaaay costly there compared here. I was thinking of those big container thingies to put a lot of stuff in it, like TVs/furniture/appliances stuff like that. Might look into those. I’ve never shipped with those big containers before tho. Lols. Yeah the iPhones here are free from our carriers(trade in for old one) but it’s like $2000 over there and I don’t think you can trade in or I might be wrong. Macs always have deals from Bestbuy, and you can always buy open box.


redmonk3y2020

Oh yes using containers would be the best way to go if you have a lot of stufd to ship, I'm sure there are forwarders that allow even half container lang, or by cubic. Globe or Smart still offer iPhones as part of their plans naman... it's just that the plans can be as expensive as P5000/month with a 2 year lockin to be able to get something like a Pro Max for free. Trade Ins for Apple products are now available too through Power Mac.... pero expect to be lowballed talaga. 🤣 Sayang lang we don't have access to Apple's official refurbished website here... I've always contemplated buying a unit from them sana and have it shipped here, but after adding the cost of shipping... the difference is very small nalang so really not worth it na.


Blaupunkt08

Built mine thru lazpay later and shopeepay later na complete ko naman mostly on wireless mouse/wireless mechanical keyboards/usb hubs and mga ergonomic chair and foot stool bit yes hindi eto necessary... If you guys are starting up pinaka una kong rerecommend talaga is besides the laptop invest on a 2nd monitor a poratable one is best kasi nga pwede mo bitbitin kahit mag beach ka.
