I really like your setup mate
Would you mind telling me where did you get the rise for the monitor? I have been meaning to find one but couldn't find anything near as beautiful as yours. Thanks mate!
Well, as a MPR 13'' 2015 user, mines will get quite hot just watching YouTube videos on Chrome. I, therefore, stopped using Chrome and actually started using Safari, no problems whatsoever. However, keep in mind that Macbooks are really thin compared to other laptops and the cooling fans aren't that great either. So yeah, I can see why it's getting hot, especially because it has no dedicated gpu. But yeah.. no one buys a Macbook really for gaming anyway. Thanks for your information mate. Been thinking to switch to a bigger screen but I absolutely hate fan noise.
She only starts cooking when I'm running games, multiple VM's, and converting my movie collection to 4K. Besides that I never even can tell the fans are on.
Well those are quite some heavy tasks, especially the converting to 4K. Might change to a 15'' as I do not perform extreme tasks but, as I would say, mid level tasks.

I just got it from IKEA whilst walking around, cannot for the life of me remember what it is called.
You should make your dock smaller!
hahah right, need as much real estate as possible on there. the 4K monitor has just a bout enough space.
You can hide the dock if you want to and just move the cursor to the bottom of the screen to bring the dock up when you need it.
Desk from Home Goods. Placemats are because I tend to eat at my desk all the time.
That's my CD tower. Holds 400 CDs. Got it about 10 years ago at Costco. Never seen it since. Would love another one.
