Wow, this is one of the most beautiful setups I’ve ever seen. But did you have to sacrifice function for form at all?
Oh also, what is that stand for the MacBook? Does having the laptop upright cause any issues over time with the HDD or anything like that?
Great minimal workspace…post more of these!
Love the Jerker desk Matt. I have one myself. Too bad my setup isn’t nearly as neat!
@Michael : I can’t post more of these if nobody send them to me
Matt submitted his setup yesterday so I posted it this morning.
What about you submit your setup ?
@Ravi: Thank you, sir! I would actually prefer a long desk, but my current office doesn’t permit it. I’m in a 90 year old house and the floors are all uneven. The corner I have my desk in is the only semi-even spot. And even then, I had to adjust the feet of my desk individually in order to get the desktop level. Regardless, this is the way I would have things set up, even if I had a bigger surface to work with. I don’t need a second display or anything.
The MacBook stand is called BookArc, from Twelve South. Doesn’t cause any issues that I know of.
Very Nice set up, never seen a laptop in that configuration. very clean too, this website should do a post about how our desks look like while we’re working with papers, pens, markers, and files all sprawled out instead of tucked away
@PaulB : As far as I know, Matt’s desk is always that clean.
Now, if you want WorkstationSetups to showcase messy desks, you can always send me yours
@PaulB: Indeed, my desk it always this tidy. With the exception of a few extra things that might collect on the top shelf. I don’t use a notepad or anything. I use Things.app for note taking and task management.
