![]() ![]() So now I spend most of my working days, with a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 covering and warming up my ears. I was never a fan of headphones, as I don’t like the feeling of hot and sweaty ears □, but… either the quality changed or I’m no longer as picky with that. This was before I gave in and converted to noise cancelling headphones. Bought it when I moved to London and lived in a flatshare, which made it a great fit for watching movies on the laptop. These sound great and with the subwoofer, it can deliver a heavy bass when required. When my laptop is on my desk, it’s connected to an Edifier Prisma 2.1 speakers system in cobalt blue. I’ve been tempted by custom mechanical keyboards but haven’t made the jump yet. Still have it, stored somewhere out of sight. Before this keyboard, I used an second generation Apple Keyboard with a numeric keypad. It matches the same exact layout as my laptop and alternates the same rechargable batteries with the Magic Mouse. The third generation Apple Wireless Keyboard is still my favourite one. I’m so familiar with using a mouse that I couldn’t adapt to a trackpad. I’ve also had an Apple Magic Trackpad for about a year, but gave up and sold it. I hope it doesn’t die anytime soon, because the USB changing solution that Apple found for Magic Mouse 2 is just ridiculous. It’s still the same one I use today with the same set of AmazonBasics rechargable batteries. □ MouseĪfter using a wireless Apple Mighty Mouse for years, when the Apple Magic Mouse was announced, it was an easy sell for the fanboy in me. This means using a mouse and keyboard instead of relying on the ones integrated in the laptop. I’m already tying the laptop to a monitor on a desk, so might as well just pretend to use a desktop. Plus, found a nice discount and that sealed the deal. Had used Dell monitors before and the image quality felt very close to what Apple Cinema Displays deliver without the over-inflated price tag. Found the best combination for my needs on a Dell U2713HM. When choosing one, my priorities were accurate colours at the highest resolution the laptop supported (2560x1600) and at least 27 inches of size. If I’m working at a desk, I rather use a good and decently sized monitor. ![]() □ MonitorĪ laptop is fun, but portability still means a tiny screen. I use one of the knock-off aluminium stands that you can easily find on Amazon. I like to keep the laptop lifted off the desk, to help it cool down and help me keep a better ergonomic position. ![]() Well, "runs" might be a stretch… but it still works. Bought it as a replacement for my older 15" MacBook Pro (from 2008) as it was becoming too slow for work back in 2013, when I was doing mobile apps using PhoneGap. This is only the second MacBook Pro I’ve ever owned. Either this is a great machine or my work might not be challenging enough. Seven years later, I still don’t feel any need for an upgrade. □ LaptopĬurrently writing this on my 15" MacBook Pro (from 2013!), that I use for way too many hours every day for work and play. ![]() Sorry! My real desk usually features toys from my kid, old magazines, some books, scrapes of paper with random notes, wallet, watch, months-worth of bank statements, plenty of dust and, sometimes, even just enough room to work. * Well, actually, my real desk is never this tidy nor does it include plants. ![]()
