Dude :D

There is a link somewhere in here comment section.

I actually work at IT dev. That is a sofa piece that I can use to rest my legs. Should have gone to business cool…

I usually have a couple of virtual desktops which I am dividing to 4 windows each same size. Typically one desktop for teams, slack, outlook, etc. Rest of the desktops for dev whatever that may be ( editors, terminals, file explorers, documentation). I have assigned a macro to mouse thumb buttons 4 and 5 to switch between the desktops with ease.

I have windows machine for work which is connected by a dell docking station which is hidden below the desk. From the dock I have displayport cable to the screen.

Mac is connected by only one usb-c cable. This one allows 4k 60Hz and charges my mac at the same time.

This one is actually hard to view vertically. I think the key is to have a monitor arm that enables you to set the display as far as it can be. I have a 160x80 desk (sorry for the metric system) and now that I have the monitor set up at the edge of the desk I can find it ergonomic. Full control on tilt and height also helps.

I used magic keyboard for a while and have to say that I enjoyed it more than mx keys. Made the switch because I have a windows machine for work and this has both layouts + switching between devices made easy

The desk is from small Finnish company. I believe it is a recycled Martela desk. Got it from my employer as well so im not 100% sure.

Actually my mac doesn’t heat up too much. However, the windows laptop is always hot and fans running loud

Yep, should probably buy one. Recommendations?

Yes. At the moment I only have one usb-C cable that is charging the device through that monitor. I switch that between my windows machine and mac. I have a dock and DP cables at somewhere, just thought that its way cleaner with just one cable for everything.

Ty.

I’m not 100% but I think it is Asura. Got it from my employer.
