Work Space

👋 Hey! This is my "Gear" of 2024. Although I've been using it for a while, I've never really written about it. So, here it is!

I spend a lot of time in front of my computer, so I like to have a clean setup.

IMHO 🧠:

clean_desk == clean_mind // true

There is definitely some consumerism in this post. I was trying to keep the costs pretty low, but some things are just worth it.

My Desk

My Hardware

I use a KVM switch to switch between my laptop and PC.

Work Laptop

MacBook Pro 14" (2021), M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD: This is my buddy.

I use it for all my work stuff. It was given to me by my company so I am happy to use it for free.

This was my first PC build. I built it together with my wife. I was a bit scared to do it, but it was fun. I never had a PC before, so it felt nice turning it on for the first time.

I use it for some light gaming and my personal projects.

It costs slightly below ~£999 altogether so it's not too bad. I could have made it cheaper, but white parts are more expensive than black ones 🤡. Considering that gaming laptops can cost £1000-£2000, this is a good deal as I can swap parts to upgrade it in the future.
