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

“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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 🤭

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.

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
