Outstanding!
Looks great
If you just want inspo for your own build you can check out:

I prefer r/workspaces.
No offense to those who like battlestations, but the content there is about as generic as it gets; everyone posts the same types of setups because those are what get upvoted:
- mechanical keyboards
- IKEA everything
- as many monitors as will fit in the frame of the image
- excessively ornate CPU case
- Neon RGB strip lighting that's less Cyberpunk 2077 and more late '90s Hype Williams-directed hiphop video

Don't forget fake plants, empty boxes from PC parts, and weird anime figurines.
tbh, r/workspaces seems like an uglier version of the generic things you mention.
Didn't know about this, great stuff
> If you are in a toss-up between the Air vs Pro consider that the Pro has two USB-C ports and that makes a huge difference.
But my M1 Air also has two USB-C ports? I keep checking they're there now to make sure I've not gone mad.

Just wow. So glad I read your post. Definitely food for thought

Do you work at that station for 7ish hours a day? Or are you quite mobile as it's a laptop... if you stay there the whole day - it looks miserable if so!
>Do you work at that station for 7ish hours a day?
I've been working like this since we started working remotely last march. I don't need to move anywhere- I'm always at home. The reason it's a laptop because I used to walk between two offices,so it's handy.
>if you stay there the whole day - it looks miserable if so!
You are right,it does look and is miserable:) at work I had 2 large monitors on arms,so it was much better but the rest looked the same- I don't like lots of stuff around me,so all my desks are pretty minimalistic.
I'm moving place soon,so as soon as I move in, I'll get myself a much better setup- looking at a tiny screen all day isn't great at all.

Sorry to hear it then! I hope you get your nicer setup soon :)
Yeah I feel like it wouldn’t be the most ergonomic setup
What is the purpose of each notebook?
