BMW X1 Forum - View Single Post - Who still has a desktop computer? Do you use it?

Like others, I run multiple computers to match certain workloads. I use a KVM switcher to switch connection from my monitors, keyboard, mouse, and webcam from my desktop to whichever laptop is plugged into a USB-C dock. I'm a bit addicted to PC hardware so probably went a bit overkill with my WFH office..

The best part about my setup is I can mix monitor sources from my work issued laptop and my desktop, so I can stream YouTube and such while working without worrying about getting fussed at for pulling too much bandwidth through the VPN. Or use all from one source if I'm actually focused.

Excluding the work issued Dell, my laptop is a 16" MacBook Pro and desktop is a custom build (5900X, 3080, custom loop).
