![]() I’m a Mac user through and through, and even having a sick gaming rig isn’t enough to help me make the switch to Windows. I’ve upgraded the storage, amongst some other small mods, but it serves primarily these days as an Overwatch 2 machine. The rig has served me well over the past 13 months and there largely hasn’t been any changes. Just over a year ago I built my first PC, which I documented the whole experience on in a piece I lovingly have referred to as baby’s first computer build. All told, the MacBook Pro’s spot in my workstation really speaks for itself, as there’s a reason it’s such a popular machine in the first place.Ĭomplementing my 14-inch Pro, my setup also makes some accommodations for a Windows machine, too. ![]() I rarely find myself using the external monitor on my desk, with the 14-inch Liquid Retina Display really just carrying the visual side of my setup. It isn’t too cumbersome to lug around when working away from home, but still has a near-perfect amount of screen real estate. Maybe later this year the M3 editions will catch my eye, but for now I’ll be sticking with this build which really has been the best of both worlds. So well in fact, that I haven’t even been tempted by those shiny new M2 Pro/Max models. Oh, and throw in the 1TB of storage just for good measure.Īpple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro has been such a handy machine since I picked it up in the fall of 2021, and really has continued to serve me well since. The M1 Max chip has barely broken a sweat over the past year and a half, and the 64GB of RAM have ensured that even I have over 500 Safari tabs open, my machine doesn’t slow to a halt. I am at least running a highly-spec’d configuration to stand out a little bit more. It has been widely adopted by much of the 9to5 staff across all of our sites, even winning awards as the best Apple release from its launch year back in 2021. And yet again, it’s one of Apple’s most recent portable machines, with the 14-inch MacBook Pro landing as the centerpiece of my workstation. I’m going to get the most generic part of my setup out of the way first it’ll come as no surprise to learn that I am rocking a Mac these days. ![]() Over the years I’ve always had a portable setup that converts into a more full-fledged workstation, and that same focus remains the same now into my sixth year of deals and LEGO coverage here at 9to5. That brings us to the setup you can feast your eyes on below. Recently having made the move to Brooklyn from Manhattan, I had to reassemble my workstation for the second time in the past few months, so why not give it some love and refresh my gear, I thought to myself. ![]() When I’m not working from some quirky Brooklyn coffee shop or one of the many Internet cafes that have popped up thanks to the rise of E-Sports, my office is where all of the magic you see at 9to5Toys happens. Next up its Rikka Altland, the 9to5Toys Editor-in-Chief. Including everything from workstations to battlestations, on-the-go setups, home theaters, and gaming rigs, we take a look at all of the gear that gets daily use in our lives. Behind the Screens is a new weekly 9to5Toys series that takes you through our writers’ setups. ![]()
