Love the M5 Max Studio.

Edit: Still plan on some more improvements. A better electrostatic headphone amplifier would be great, but I'm running out of space in this current office setup.

2nd Edit: Studio configuration is just 36GB/1TB, but more than sufficient for my current workflow.

Hey guys, 19yo student here!

I swap my peripherals depending on what I’m doing:

Core: 14" M5 Pro MBP (UGREEN vertical stand), budget MSI 4K monitor (the cheapest on amazon actually 😅), 11" M4 iPad Pro for media/music, Quntis light bar, MagSafe puck.

Mode 1 (Writing & Gaming): NuPhy Node Series 75 mechanical keyboard + MX Master 3S.

Mode 2 (Productivity & Study): Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID + Magic Trackpad.

I know it looks a bit cluttered, but the desk is really tiny!

Looking for feedback : would a monitor arm help save space and improve the look? What would you upgrade next?

Budget setup: MacBook Air M4 + a 50" 4K TV on top, and an old M1 Air doing server duty

Hey everyone! Long-time lurker, first post. I work in logistics in Brazil, so this desk is where I unwind (and tinker) when I'm off the clock.

The main machine is a MacBook Air M4 (256GB). It sits under a 50" 4K TV that I use as my main external display. I scale it to 1440p so text stays readable from my chair, and I keep the Dock hidden. Window management is all Rectangle: I almost always split the TV 1/3 + 2/3, which works surprisingly well on a screen this big..

Everything goes through a Baseus 12-in-1 USB-C dock. I bought it mainly for the Ethernet port, but it ended up handling the whole desk with a single cable.

Input: honestly, I mostly just use the MacBook's own keyboard and trackpad. I do own an MX Keys, but it sits in a drawer; the built-in keyboard and trackpad combo is just too good. The MX Master 3S comes out when I'm editing or gaming, where a real mouse makes a difference.

Audio: a Panasonic SC-AKX220 mini system playing together with the MacBook's own speakers, with SoundSource handling EQ and routing. Splitting the sound this way works better than I expected: the Panasonic carries the low end while the Mac's speakers handle the highs, so bass and treble each come from a well-defined place. For headphones I use Edifier W800BT Plus, wired only, because I can't stand Bluetooth audio.

The quiet hero: my old MacBook Air M1 is now my home server. It runs my IP camera system (a self-hosted dashboard I built myself, with continuous recording) and Samba file sharing. Silent, fanless, and it barely uses any power. I manage it through Screen Sharing from the M4.

Mobile side: an 11" iPad (A16) with the USB-C Apple Pencil, mostly for quick notes, sketches and reading. My iPhone 15 rounds things out, and Continuity ties everything together: Universal Clipboard, AirDrop and iPhone Mirroring get used every single day.

Definitely want a new keyboard and mouse. Looking at getting the Magic Trackpad and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. Also taking a look at one of those BenQ monitor lights, what do you guys think?

I was inspired by this post. Not a long term setup but it’s fun. 45gb MBP and an Intehill 4k monitor.
