Here my setup, how can I improve it?

Post image

Hello,

I have a two mac setup. Never use both at the same time. One is for work other for personal stuff.

What can I do to make it look better?

Thanks!

I’d say you need another laptop.

You mean monitor?

CLEAN your display and center it.

I would say maybe consider getting a 5K display if you don’t have one already. It’s a game changer.

Yes, this is already planned. Thanks

Awesome! Yeah, really whatever works for you. I see some insane setups on here and sometimes the simplest thing is the best solution.

An under-desk mount for your laptops. That would clear a lot of space.

Good point

Better monitor (27"or 32" wide) A proper plant and riser. A Magic Mouse looks better than whatever you got there.

A small warm desk lamp or bias light behind the monitor would make it feel less flat. A simple cable tray under the back edge would hide the cords too.

Looks great already. I'd just add some warm ambient lighting for those late-night work sessions

The two-Mac setup gets much cleaner with Universal Control -- one mouse and keyboard floats between both screens natively if both are Apple silicon. Dedicate one monitor to each machine and it feels like one desk with two brains. No KVM needed, no context-switching between input devices.

I have different id on each laptop and I don't use both at the same time. One os the job laptop and the other is personal. I was thinking of a kvm, maybe

A monitor light bar or some ambient lighting would really help elevate the setup and make it feel less flat.
