Kinda both! It's a stand made by Spigen to put in the MagSafe charging puck. Pretty solid and works great.
Spigen Mag Fit S Designed for MagSafe Charger Stand Aluminum Adjustable Phone Stand Compatible with iPhone 15/14/13/12 Series, AirPod Pro, AirPod Pro 2, AirPod 3 Charging Stand - White
A product designed by Spigen, very durable and perfect for modern smartphones. The unique design and unique comfort of use makes using a smartphone even more excitingwww.amazon.com
Much thanks!
Work laptop connected to the monitor to the left, M1 Mac Mini to the monitor to the right. And my TBC mousepad.
Broke up with my ex, got back at my parent house so I quickly made a setup with what I had laying around
My MacBook Pro 13", a 43" 4K TV, spare Dell and HP usb Keyboard and mouse, my DJ controller and a Freebox Delta (The TV box of our old Internet provider, it double as a Devialet Alexa bluetooth speaker, and the sound is actually really good so I use it for that)
I'm going to buy a real desk and a Apple Keyboard/Magic Mouse soon to replace those old things lol

So many changes! Moved out of home and got my first apartment. It's not much, but I'm happy with the setup I've managed to achieve in this relatively small space.
Next up will be a decent chair, shelf and lighting. ?

Ooh, what's that Dell display? I'm guessing that's the MBA M1 in your sig?
Do you miss the 5K resolution? May I ask what is the Dell Monitor is that? Are you satisfied with you after coming from a 5K iMac?
It’s just an old 25” display. I think it’s called U2515H. The iMac was a late 2013, so not Retina. Same resolution.
Does the job, but a 4K display might be in the cards for later. ?
My new setup with the M1 Mac Mini and next to it my old setup with an aged iMac 27"
@MacHead84 Nice! Is that the Dell U2720Q 4K? If so, are you happy with it?
Generally if it has a Q in the name its short for QHD 2560 x 1440.
If it has a U in the name its short for UHD 3840 x 2160.
Not very many native 4K panels out there.
It is the "Dell UltraSharp U3219Q 31.5" 4K UHD HDR400 IPS LED InfinityEdge Monitor with USB-C" and yes I am very happy with it.
Had the M1 MacBook Air since November 2020 and the Mac Pro (now without a dedicated display) since April 2014.
Man, I love that cylinder Mac Pro. Such a beautiful design, and the highest-quality computer I’ve ever had the privilege of using. Sold mine to get a 2017 iMac 27, which made more sense for my use case and has a gorgeous screen. But it doesn’t quite feel like it’s on the same level of design and manufacturing as the 2013 Mac Pro.
I was also a sucker for the G4 Cube.
If Apple does another beautiful and compact design for the rumored “Mac Mini Pro” or “Pro Mini,” I am all in.
It served me well for 6-7 years. It’s an Intel compute server (mostly Intel VMs) now and a NAS. I have 5 TB attached in RAID.
I have a pair of Vanatoo speakers that are connected to my bedroom TV via an old AppleTV with an optical out. This no longer works with a 4th generation AppleTV over Airplay. So I’m going to move them to my desk setup. If you don’t know, the Vanatoo speakers are incredible. An easy replacement for the Harmon Kardons (a company that I used to work for). I’ll update the pic after I reconfigure my desk.
It’s a 24” LG 4K 24UD58-B. A pretty good 24” 4K but I had to replace the stand with a VESA mount. The included stand was garbage but everything else about the display was decent.
Cool. Just got a 27" LG 4K display myself, and yeah, the stands could be better!
The problem with the 27” is the DPI is too low. Even the 24” is less than Apple’s retina standard @184 DPI
(though my old eyes can’t really tell). Apple’s retina is about 218 DPI.
