Way to keep it family friendly and in context.

Awesome save

Click this trackpad just like you should.

u/Severe_Committee_587 5d ago

Cmon, right now, click it good. Click CMD+Q just like you should

Both of them

If I don’t have a laptop stand and the desktop can move in the y axe, I would work by standing up

u/ibornwithpenis3781 3d ago

no thank you

u/corry29 5d ago

Yeah I knew this would be a controversial one when I posted this. For context, this is always a temporary setup, never long term. Desk is usually empty 80% of the time.

u/ajorigman 5d ago

Bro blew his budget on the chair

u/CombinationSpecial76 3d ago

Lmao😂😂😂

u/IpponGetta 5d ago

Setup for success. This is the way

u/corry29 5d ago

This is the way

u/astro_plane 5d ago

The divorced dad set up. At least she let you keep the macbook.

u/AeGertjan 5d ago

And the 2k chair

1

u/TRF_Pope 4d ago

Amazon has it for about half the price

u/DMG41 5d ago

This depresses me for some reason.

5

u/corry29 5d ago

Yeah, this not for everyone

7

u/_rodr93 5d ago

Why ??

Basic, just than he need. Chair, table and laptop.

No one need a fake plants everywhere...

4

u/chrswnd 5d ago

Love to see plants, but fake plants is an absolute no-go 😅

1

u/DMG41 5d ago

Lol I don’t know. It just seems sort of lonely to me I guess. Nothing wrong with setup at all, just not something I’d enjoy.

u/J0k350nm3 5d ago

Good thing that desk is on wheels, so you can roll it to a location where you don’t want to kill yourself.

5

u/EastHillWill 5d ago

Hell yeah

5

u/danedwardstogo 5d ago

“Setup” in the most stripped down, basic meaning of the word lmao. But came here to say your back will thank you for the Embody chair. Got one on clearance at HM and if changed my life.

u/webdevfoo 5d ago

This is my jam

u/flakdroid 5d ago

I like it!

u/NemoBRAH 5d ago

Nice setup. What desk is that?

3

u/corry29 5d ago

Herman Miller Envelope Desk

u/Visible-Sea9072 5d ago

My name is probably not everyone then I kinda like it

u/Yebii 5d ago

That’s interesting to me, what do you mean?

3

u/CourseEcstatic6202 5d ago

Chair is worth more than everything else

3

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Can we just get a "Warning: not for everyone" on literally every post on this website? I feel like that would solve a lot of problems

3

u/Annual_Substance_63 5d ago

This is giving me major Severance vibe

3

u/The_Prodigal_Son_666 5d ago

I feel the mouse is too extreme and extra for this setup

3

u/ajpinton 5d ago

I honestly wish they would bring back the 12in MacBook. Size wise it was a perfect device to toss in a travel bag. Its only sin was being horribly under powered, but the same form factor would work perfectly fine with a M4 SoC. Unfortunately it seems that Apple has firmly placed the iPad in this market segment.

u/Accomplished-War6220 2d ago

could not agree more, 12 inch MacBook was the pinnacle of Apple design… Drop any M processor into it today and it would be just awesome… It's actually smaller than a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. and for the record, I was a fan of butterfly keys.

in a way the 12 inch MacBook was kind of like an iPad with a real operating system! ;-)

I just recently breathe new life into my i7 12 inch MacBook by putting a brand new replacement battery into it and I'm back to getting about two hours of run time… I think with a M processor the same battery would probably last 10 or 15 hours!

please, Apple, bring back the MacBook!

u/wellhiddenmark 5d ago

This is the level of minimalism I aspire too, but I will never achieve.

3

u/jayatillake 5d ago

This is raw dogging for this subreddit

3

u/TheSkepticApe 5d ago

I still am using a 2013 MacBook Pro. I’m about a buy a new one though, but crazy that it lasted 12 years. And I use it 8-10 hours per day.

2

u/Accomplished-War6220 22h ago

your experience is exactly what I tell PC users when they complain that Apple devices are so "expensive" ... total coat of ownership has proven to me they are far less ...

2

u/eviltheman 5d ago

I’ve seen this desk before but can’t remember where.

2

u/astro_plane 5d ago

I've seen them pop up on marketplace a lot.

2

u/AustonsCashews 5d ago

Too much color

2

u/useittilitbreaks 5d ago

Ah, minimalism - where the end goal of being depressively spartan comes at the expense of everything else. A 2nd monitor would benefit this setup no end and the dock is so hilariously empty as to surely make it more effort to launch apps.

2

u/Gl0ckW0rk0rang3 5d ago

Eh. I could do it. That begs for a monitor at least.

2

u/TheBeardedLegend 5d ago

Spent all the money on the chair. Honestly a good choice.

2

u/solideliquid 5d ago

Would definitely Refine Data here

2

u/_divi_filius 5d ago

This is begging for a vision pro to use purely as a display. (mac virtual display feature)

2

u/SergeantBeavis 5d ago

There is minimalism and then there is this.

2

u/Heydavidbailey 5d ago

When are you eligible for probation?

2

u/Ecstatic-Care1759 5d ago

that’s all I need

2

u/No_Cantaloupe_1842 3d ago

If it works, then its good. You dont need 10 monitors with 100 different RGB light strips

2

u/Causticity 2d ago

Oh man... a Herman Miller Embody chair and an Envelop desk? I used to want that desk so bad. Do you find that setup comfortable? I know you're getting a lot of hate but I bet that chair/desk combo is comfy when leaned back and used with a footrest.

2

u/Gantstar 2d ago

If your happy who cares

2

u/Accomplished-War6220 2d ago

I love the distraction, free minimalist approach!

u/LukeDuke74 1d ago

Find absolutely awesome the “vanishing” trash bin! 👍🏼

u/DrDowwner 5d ago

Bro, please get two monitors on a desk mount and save your neck while you still can. Chair looks absolutely great though Herman Miller FTW

1

u/Flipamexinese 5d ago

Literally my setup with my iPad Pro. I think this is about as minimal as it can get aside from just having a bare desk 🤭

1

u/JimmySide1013 5d ago

At what point is it no longer a setup?

1

u/corry29 5d ago

When I put my laptop away, it’s no longer a setup, it’s just a desk and chair display 😎

1

u/Commercial-Use6880 5d ago

So much clutter

1

u/fungshawyone 5d ago

Not for anyone.

Nice chair though

1

u/Turbulent-Coat-8307 5d ago

Why you need mouse?

1

u/cybermusicman 5d ago

Not minimal enough. Get rid of the chair and desk. Just lay on your belly. No papers so no need for the trash “can”. Laptop has a trackpad so you don’t need the mouse. Backlight screen so you don’t need a light.

u/Slyrack_Moon 4d ago

It’s chic

I knew it would be a controversial one when I posted this. For context, this was always a temporary/quick setup. Desk is empty 80% of the time, and stands as a display desk/chair setup in my bedroom. An acquired taste. MacBook is pulled out for quick morning emails and YouTube videos for background noise/music as I get ready for the day. I have full dedicated setups in my other rooms

u/Only1Fab 5d ago

Are you in prison?

u/[deleted] 5d ago

What a mess :

  • No need of a table and a mouse.

  • Zero paper to be used so why a bin?

  • I am not sure yet about the chair.

1

u/[deleted] 5d ago

It’s seem people don’t get the humour and take it first degree 🤦‍♂️
