*** Show Off Your Apple Hardware ***

[LiE]

Not really hardware but Apple MK has moved and 4x in size. Got this bag when I popped in today on opening.

Oh that's cool! The guy sorting the repair of my Mac was really excited they're getting out of the 18 year old pokey unit and moving into the massive old top shop space

I appreciate this may not be the most ideal thread but figured I’d try here first.
Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for a small (read low) monitor riser that I can have my ASD sitting on and have my MacBook underneath?
The issue I’m having is I don’t care for my monitor being too high (I’m not winning any height awards any time soon!). Ideally I’d want one that has just enough clearance for the MacBook to slip underneath - while also maintaining a reasonable aesthetic.

Shouldn’t be too much to ask

Excellent shout. Funny that never showed up on my Amazon search - or at least I never noticed it.
According to CamelCamelCamel this is as expensive as it’s ever been, so I’ll keep an eye on it as it’s one those mundane items that usually gets a healthy Black Friday discount.

I don't think it will drop much, if at all, at most I think it will be £39.99.

Keepa shows it was introduced at £24 but that was in 2018. It went up to £35 in 2020 (probably due to more people working from home so more demand), and then it was settled at £40 with the occasional spike to £50. So £45 might be it's new normal.

Thanks. I can actually get it direct from their site for £37 so I'd say that will be the way to go.

Another vote for the Nuphy mechanical keyboard, so good for day to day work and lasts for ages.

Is that a nuphy keyboard? What are you using for speakers?

 

[waspy88]

Yeah Nuphy Air 96, the speakers are the Klipsch Heritage

I want them, but there's no space in my future for a subwoofer that size.

Shame we can only see half of it in your picture and it's out of focus

Still. That is a nice looking chair. Not any of this racer boy gamer chair rubbish.

Finally upgrading

 

[pingwing]

It really is so small!!

 

[vail3r]

3d printed a MagSafe stand for my phone but I used a faulty one and cut the cable off. Essentially just so I have somewhere for my phone to go whilst at my desk but I don’t want it charging

That's what she said.
