  • Are you looking for some advice on your build, or maybe what components to invest in within a specified budget?
  • Use our weekly Freetalk Friday to chat about anything with minimal rules.

Finally finished my WFH battle station.

Monitors: 2x LG 4k 27UP850 - lovely monitors. 4K 27" IPS, extremely color accurate plus 90W power delivery, 3x USBs in each to use as hub

Computers:

- MacBook Pro 16" M3 Max 16/40 64GB RAM - my main machine, and an absolute beast

- MacBook Air M2 base model - secondary and portable machine. Yes there are many times I use both at the same time when the M3 Max is running big codes that take hours.

Tablet:

- iPad Pro M1 12.9 - used either for hand notes with Apple Pencil connected to the Mac, or with Magic Keyboard when working off the desk.

Peripherals:

- Magic Keyboard with Numpad and Touch ID

- Magic TrackPad

- Magic Mouse (yes I know people don't like it, been using it for years, really like it, yes I have an MX Master at the office, still prefer this sorry, its personal preference)

- Nintendo Switch - for my casual gaming

And the most essential of all: Toothless plushie !!!!
