Setup was very simple on my MacBook Pro. I did need to plug both USB-C cables directly into my Mac (not the power outlet), and once I did, it powered on automatically. As a doctoral student who constantly switches between documents, this has been a huge time-saver—it makes multitasking so much easier. The instructions were straightforward, and for anything I didn't understand, a quick search helped me figure it out. Overall, it took about 10 minutes to set up. Highly recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time on their computer, especially for research or writing papers.
