I have started understanding ergonomics and this is my setup to meet this. I am so much productive after making changes like putting laptop at a specific height and external mouse and keyboard.
Hardware:
Lenovox1 carbon 3rd edition
Logitech mouse and keyboard
JBL headphones with MIC
Software:
Windows 10 Professional
Visual Studio and Visual studio code
SQL Server
Few opinions on your setup, if I may:
Some fair points! I personally prefer slotting my laptop below the monitor so I can have a semi-dual monitor setup. Putting it to the side is a possibility... But it might be too out of the way to be useful as a secondary monitor. Happy to experiment tho once I invest in a keyboard and mouse (or magic trackpad)!
I agree with space for resting the arms, and I think 2 screens better than one always, Ben only need a laptop support and set both screens at the same distance. Then the arms rest space will appear.
I'm not agree with mechanical keyboard, this has nothing to do on typing skills, and you'll cause much more noise without a reason. If you gonna play some FPS it's OK if you are this kind of people that really think you will perceive 4ms less on response time but for work?
Gimme that soft low-profile keys please! You can go for a Logitech G815 or G915 which lets you type faster with a short press per key, it will make you feel less tired after coding for hours.
Some like Macbook or Huawei laptops, which also come with built-in soft low-profile keyboards, but having it on an external keyboard improves the experience by hundred.
I respect the monitor dedicated to Blank Banshee
Ayyyyy someone got the reference! Mega’s my favorite vaporwave album hands down. So much clever sound panning and production 🙏
Insert some joke about "My Machine" here 😘
how big is monitor? 23-24" or 27-28"? Do you find icon, menus, etc.. too small because of 4k? Do you know what panels your monitor has TN or IPS? How satisfied are you with colors?
Oh yeah, forgot to give the size! It's a 27" IPS panel (matte finish) with USB-C support. The brightness and colors are amazing in my opinion, but I've seen a couple complaints that it differs from a MacBook's glossy display. I'll definitely take no glare over a little inconsistency though.
Here's the amazon listing: amazon.com/LG-27UD88-W-LED-Lit-Mon...
Bought this a couple years ago though, and it looks like they came out with a newer, cheaper model: amazon.com/LG-27UK850-W-Monitor-Co...
Mess!!!
I don't have anything I don't need here.
Love the Little Dot Mk3! Have you swapped the tubes yet?
Thanks! No, those are stock tubes.
I aspire to buy WA7 Fireflies and sell the LittleDot. I listened to WA7 with Audeze LCD-3 and MX-4 and was blown away.
Yeah, the WA7 is nice! I run Fostex TH-00X Purplehearts on Mullard tubes and I really enjoy my setup, although one of my tubes has developed some interference.
It's a mixed setup of home and office hardware atm, thats why there is the cable mess, but I'm still happy with that :)
The monitors are amazing. I imagine you work a lot with design and colors?
I wish I could say yes, but actually I just like to have a lot of space and not always have to change the foreground program. ;D
What is your choice/opinion about following:
working from bed here, an hp ProBook , an intel i3 6th, and 8 gb ram :(
why QHD? is 4k too much? I mean too small icons, text, etc?
and last, but not least, a box of Swedish snus! 💪🏼
Your screen is really clear and same for contents ! 👏☕
I dont think I have anything secret on there, just a bunch of reddit tabs, so no worries! 😅
But your theme. This is natif on IOS?
No, it's something I've put together myself; it's a combination of:
github.com/simskij/dotfiles
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-m...
github.com/simskij/dustbin-theme-s...
and possibly more that I've not yet bothered pushing to github. 🤓
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to styling chrome and slack yet.
Oh nice colors! I'm thinking of testing Spicetify. Thanks!
Thanks! Here's a clearer picture of the desktop and theming.
Nice playlist! lol
gonna copy that, just letting you know.
Go for it! 💪🏻
The chocolate key caps and wood shell look killer on that anne pro!
Thanks! Took ages to get all the parts. Now, all I'm missing is the components to build the custom cable:
Where do you find keycaps for that keyboard?
Wherever they sell cherry mx compatible keycaps. I personally prefer doubleshot pbt keycaps.
Some suggestions:
mechanicalkeyboards.com/
candykeys.com/
kbdfans.com/
kprepublic.com/
Thanks! I am wanting to get a mechanical keyboard.
Here is my split setup - Mac on the left, Linux in the middle, work Windows laptop apart from the others on the right.
Left one is the work machine (the macbook pro behind the screen), right one is the game machine. So basically I scroll to the right at 6:00 PM ;)
My nice-looking workspace.
I used to have my telework stuff on the dining room table but it looks like we're in this for the long run (months, and when the office reopens they'll have a fraction of the staff on site), so I spent a few hours Saturday making room in the small bedroom (which has no bed). Telework setup is on the left:
On the right is my personal computer setup. 2011 27" iMac with two 27" Thunderbolt monitors. Lower-right corner there's a turntable, because heavy metal. :) I find it's a good way to ensure I get up and move relatively frequently, having to change sides or records.
like dark and color backlight
curved 4k? 28 or 32"?
32, and regret now, 4K is must😭
Good to know.. I fear icons etc might be too small with 4k...
You always can adjust the resolution to match the size. Non 4K is terrible for coding, especially if you are using retina mbp
This is the way.
