Home Setup:
M1 MacBook Air (512/16GB)
iPhone 13 Mini
AirPods Pro (Colorware Black)

Did you send in a pair you already owned to ColorWare, or did you buy new ones from them? What was the experience like? I've been really tempted to get mine customized but I'm just dubious about sending off my expensive tech.

I have an update to my setup for two reasons: first, I have a Studio Display with VESA mount option I have ordered, so I decided to take one of my husband's 27" ASUS displays to put on my desk to begin getting use to my new setup, as I have a new laptop stand and iPad stand. Second reason, the laptop stand and ASUS display will soon be replaced by a stand from Grovemade and the display replaced by the aforementioned Studio Display.

Reason for the additional screen real estate, is my husband and I are about to begin living in our 5th wheel travel trailer to be able to drive around the US, while working from our camper. I'll have a new desk, with what I hope to be a nicer looking setup than this. For those that are interested in the tech going into our camper, I will post some pics once we are moved in and everything is setup. We have a pretty cool setup for making sure we always have the best connection possible to the internet via cellular connection. Excited to share an update, but here we are for now!

MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro on a generic metal stand, 27" ASUS 4k ProArt Display, iPad Pro on the Twelve South HoverBar Duo. New Magic Keyboard with TouchID + Numeric keypad and Magic Trackpad 2, both in the new silver and black combo. Can barely see the trackpad on my desk right now!

I have the BenQ ScreenBar Plus (just got it today, and love it) attached at the top of the display.

PowerMac G4 Cube for a reminder of the past.

Rather nice setup!

Curious, with the BenQ ScreenBar Plus, is it connected via USB A, and is more for mood lighting, versus additional light?

The charger came from Elago. It is all “byoc” as in bring your own charger. That is Apple’s MagSafe charger for iPhone 13 Pro, Watch Series 7 charging puck, and lightning connector for AirPods. They are all plugged in to power adapters, 20 watt adapters for iPhone and Watch.

Thank you!

I got the BenQ because it provides great focused light onto your desk, without any glare on your screen or the need for overhead lighting. I really like it so far. And, yes, for mood lighting, too. It’s nice to have it be able to change throughout the day to match what you want, regarding how warm or cool the light is.

Often, I see setups like these (lovely by the way), and think to myself, do I really need dual monitor setup and all the other things. Probably not honestly...
Super portable for around the house WHF, I also have a 32" TV on a full motion mount that I use as a second monitor if needed for work stuff.
Have the big setup at work that stays at work and this MBA is amazing for battery life around the house.

Who's the creepy afro dude in the bottom left hand corner of your office setup?

Nice bike setup there. What do you use for a trainer in that setup? I presume you have a GRX setup, but I've never seen a flat-bar go right into drops before, what Specialized is that? Woah just noticed no wires; not sure how brakes, gearing is operated.
