Ask HN: What is your workstation setup? Hi all, i'm a grad student finally moving into his first real apartment. Since now, my workstation setup was: my laptop. As a result, for the first time since years i will have a proper desk. So, i'm in the exciting moment when you have to organize your own workstation. More importantly, i have a budget! Assuming: - money isn't an issue (i see this as a long term investment as a high quality working environment will pay back over time) - that i plan to keep my old-but-still-awesome laptop - i hate computers. I love what you can craft with them, but i hate the piece of hardware stealing desk surface. I want to keep as much as possible the desk free so that i can freely write and read on it. So far, this is the set-up i came up with: - Laptop stand: BookArc - External Monitor: Dell UltraSharp U2410 - External Keyboard and mouse: Apple stuff. - Chair: no idea yet. I was thinking an ergonomic chair would be an investment for my back. - Desk: no idea, i couldn't find any real desk i liked Which piece of forniture and gadget do you suggest to buy? How is your workstation organized? Is there any life-changing purchase you've done recently? PS: I'm a developer and i will work lot of time from home. |
