Thanks Johannes! Getting there! Messed up with the colour in a couple of segments but was too late to fix it 😂 thanks though, always good to try different ways of keeping people engaged 👊🏼
The new camera is looking sooooo crispy!!! I neeeeeed a thunderbolt dock! That Satechi dock/ssd enclosure thingy is soooo coool! Sad to hear about your Keychron keyboard! Awesome video Alex! 😁
Hey Fenson! Yeah definitely worth the investment, should have done that ages ago really but hey, it’s good to stretch our minds with the gear we have, it’s a great way to learn. And yeah that Keychron K1 battery fell off a cliff for me, still not sure why
OWC Thunderbolt 4 is still the best for me. I have tried the Anker but not enough ports for me. My keyboard and mouse right now are here: ruclips.net/video/YGWrO9npxVE/видео.html
Excellent! Yes this has been superb for me. I heard someone was having problems with the M1 Max but I haven’t seen any issues on the M1 Pro, no disconnects and great performance!!
Great video! As far as battery life, do these M1 MacBooks benefit from a dark wallpaper and dark mode the same way the iPhones have since getting OLED screens?
Thank you! To be honest with you, the battery is so awesome I don’t even bother with that. I have full brightness most of the time. In the evenings I’m really busy with content creation so whenever I’m using this device I have full brightness on too so I can make sure the colours are ok. Happy new year!!
Amazing video. Just wondering with the owc hub. Can I plug in 1 usb c monitor and 1 hdmi monitor with usb c adapter to the hub with the macbook pro m1 max?
Hi there, great question! I need to test that. I know it is possible to daisy chain Thunderbolt devices but will check the HDMI option with USB-C adapter, I have one of those too
Good video. Quick question. When you were transferring the 200GB folder, how are able to see the transfer speed like in your video? Seemed to be built in Mac OS?
OWC does not work on my M1 MAX 16 inch, they sent me 2 of them and they do not keep connection on usb or thunderbolt ports for cameras and other devices
Oh no! That’s really unusual, I use quite a few hard drives and SD cards with it. To be fair I’m using it with the M1 Pro right now, but will be able to confirm if it works with my M1 Max when that ships
By the way, I’ve started using a new hub by Acasis and that is definitely going to be in my next review. I mentioned it in my last couple of videos (this one was for the MacBook Pro but you should get the idea: ruclips.net/video/rsmd69fvicU/видео.html) If you want to check it out. Incredible bit of kit. bit.ly/3MeKdIV
Damn! Sorry I was using their manual that came with it as a guidance, it says 2 x 4K or a single 5,6 or 8K. I will double check on that and confirm asap!
Hi there, I don’t know to be honest. I checked their manual and it doesn’t mention it either. Is there a way of testing this? If so I can give it a go and let you know
@@AlexGTech Thanks for checking! I’m not sure how to test it. I’m looking at getting a new audio interface that has an Ethernet connection that utilizes AVB. I’m trying to avoid their recommended multi dongle/Daisy chain of “Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter to Apple TB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter”
I found a 10Gb Ethernet adapter from them that definitely supports AVB, if you go though the link to their shop from the description or just search for their “OWC THUNDERBOLT 3 10G” you will see it there. Because they sell this separately I would hazard a guess that TB4 dock doesn’t support AVB
😳 haven’t experienced it when using multiple hard drives and SD cards but maybe my usage isn’t that much in comparison with yours, what are you using your MacBook Pro for?
Thanks Alex - great video. You have a warm, friendly energy. Blessings to you. 🙏
Oh thank you, that is so klind of you to say 🙏🏼 have a lovely weekend ahead!
Ayyyy love the extra camera angle Alex!

Happy new year 🤎🤎🤍 have a lovely 2022
Happy New Year Nikhil!! Thanks for your support this year!!
What brand thunderbolt 4 cable are you using?
Do you have apple care plus for your MacBook Pro and would you recommend it?
I don't because I have other insurance covers but I think it is worth if you are planning on sticking with Apple for a long time.
Really like the OWC Dock
Amazing Video!!!
Thanks man! Happy New Year!!
Check out a NuPhy Air75 keyboard!
thanks Quin, will do!
the Moft sleeve and stand combo?? Is this for the 14" new macbook M1? I go to the amazon site and it states for 13.3" does it fit the 14"???
Hi Toni, yes it does - a bit weird that they state 13.3” - if you want I can post some pictures of it on Twitter/Instagram.
What is the best hub to buy then ?
And what keyboard and mouse do you use?
Thanks so much

Have been trying a few different Docks for my Mac’s with no luck. So this video helps and looks like the Teo options you are sharing will work.
Excellent! Yes this has been superb for me. I heard someone was having problems with the M1 Max but I haven’t seen any issues on the M1 Pro, no disconnects and great performance!!
Another great video Alex!
Thanks mate!!

Nice video Alex , here to amazing content even more this year.
Thanks! Yea, let’s smash it!
great videos, great thumbnails, keep up the good work
Hey Dan, thanks so much! Excited for the new year and to keep improving the content 👊🏼 Happy New year!
Dang, transferring 200Gb in 4 minutes, that's crazy. Mine takes a minimum of an hour 😂💔
Haha yeah I know the feeling! This is not even that fast, I bet you can get a faster speed but for me it’s more than enough!
Been searching for a while now. Just ordered the OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock, perfect solution.
right? It’s awesome. I am glad you found it, it’s been on my list for a long time but they were really impacted by the chip shortage last year.
Good video. Quick question. When you were transferring the 200GB folder, how are able to see the transfer speed like in your video? Seemed to be built in Mac OS?
Thank you! It’s an app called File Explorer. They have a free version and a paid one, I just use the free one, really good
happy new year man ✌️
Happy new year Mike!!
What if I don't like unplugging things Alex? 👀
hahaha I know you do though!
Lol : Thanks for the OWC parts ( I got to know it better) then I knew it in the first place.
Cool, yes their docks and hubs are legit!
OWC does not work on my M1 MAX 16 inch, they sent me 2 of them and they do not keep connection on usb or thunderbolt ports for cameras and other devices
Oh no! That’s really unusual, I use quite a few hard drives and SD cards with it. To be fair I’m using it with the M1 Pro right now, but will be able to confirm if it works with my M1 Max when that ships
@@AlexGTech I assumed you had both pro and Max because of title
Does it work with M1 max? I want to buy this dock
@@diegoveloper didn’t work on my M1 MAX
@@djrightonbeat oh :/ thanks for letting us know
The biggest question here is… How do you get the transfer so show transfer speed?
😊 that’s an app called File explorer (there’s a free and a paid version) both work well 👊🏼
@@AlexGTech whoa… I wrote that as I was watching that part of the video… I'm at 7:39 now. That's some fast reply, :P Cheers man, I'll check it out!
Haha thank you! Have a great day!

So for the OWC dock are there adapters to connect to 2 monitors? 1 hdmi & the other DisplayPort?
You'd have to use Thunderbolt cables/adapters to connect multiple displays as all the ports are Thunderbolt/USB-C
two 4k displays? are you sure? OWC support team said '1 display output on M1 based Mac'. it said on their webpage too.
Damn! Sorry I was using their manual that came with it as a guidance, it says 2 x 4K or a single 5,6 or 8K. I will double check on that and confirm asap!
slick intro!!
Cheers Mike!
I’m not if this the same studios or if you have made the wall go from white to grayish black. It looks nice .
Thanks Aabid, yeah I painted the wall 👊🏼 happy new year!
@@AlexGTech thanks, to you and your family as well.
@@AlexGTech the wall looks nice ,so the place.
Hey!
Very nice Thunderbolt 4 dock and hub. 👍🏻
Thank you for all of the great content on this channel. 🙏
Wishing you a Happy New Year, Alex. 🥳
Hey, thanks!! And great catching up over the stream last night too! Thanks for all your support mate! Have a wonderful new year!
@@AlexGTech - Sadly, didn’t get back from my daily 10km until after midnight so missed most of it but will go back and catch up on the rest.
@@cheekster777 Dayum! Daily 10k! 👏
@@AlexGTech - Nearly 3,800km logged in 2021. The challenge was 1,021km which I managed by April. 😊

Im a photographer and have pulled my cards out without ejecting for 10 years. Fuck it😂
Pointless buying usbc hubs with more than 2 ports since your mac will explode if you use them all together anyway.
😳 haven’t experienced it when using multiple hard drives and SD cards but maybe my usage isn’t that much in comparison with yours, what are you using your MacBook Pro for?
