It is fascinating to see everyone’s workspaces - I guess it is really true that there is no ‘one-setup-fits-all’. My current desk setup which evolved gradually over several years:
My home Mac setup comprises:
- MacBook Pro 14"
- LG UltraFine 5K 27" display (the first generation, 2016) on monitor arm
- Logitech MX Master 3 mouse
- Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
- CalDigit Element hub - one of the few hubs that are able to power the SuperDrive
- Apple SuperDrive
- JDS Labs Element DAC and amplifier
- Sennheiser HD 650 headphones
They live on a standing desk with various lamps and wireless charging accessories. The color temperature of the Elgato ring light and the BenQ ScreenBar Plus can be adjusted. When necessary, I use the Sony RX100 Mk IV and the Elgato Cam Link 4K as webcam - not really necessary anymore since Continuity Camera is now available. All the cable mess (and the Time Capsule) lives in the tray underneath the desk. One Thunderbolt cable is usually all it takes to connect the MBP to the accessories, except when I need to use the headphones + stack.
I use a black wallpaper on the MBP; the mini LED display does go completely black when there is nothing on the desktop, like in this case.
I need to find TAOCP a home on the shelves soon…
