00:00:00.041 --> 00:00:01.835
Because I primarily work from a desk

00:00:01.835 --> 00:00:02.961
pretty much every single day,

00:00:02.961 --> 00:00:05.130
sometimes spending 
up to 12 hours at my desk,

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:06.923
depending on what I'm working on.

00:00:06.923 --> 00:00:08.842
I've spent over ten years

00:00:08.842 --> 00:00:10.468
creating different desk setups,

00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:12.595
refining and adjusting continually

00:00:12.804 --> 00:00:14.264
to create the most ergonomic

00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:15.598
and comfortable desk setup.

00:00:15.598 --> 00:00:17.684
So I like to think I know a thing or two

00:00:17.684 --> 00:00:20.061
about what it takes 
to make a great desk setup.

00:00:20.061 --> 00:00:21.855
In this video, I wanted to cover various

00:00:21.855 --> 00:00:23.523
different desk setup upgrades

00:00:23.523 --> 00:00:24.649
one should consider

00:00:24.649 --> 00:00:26.234
when creating their own setup.

00:00:26.234 --> 00:00:27.152
I want to make it clear though,

00:00:27.152 --> 00:00:27.986
that you don't have to buy

00:00:27.986 --> 00:00:28.778
every single thing

00:00:28.778 --> 00:00:30.655
that I am mentioning in this video.

00:00:30.655 --> 00:00:31.364
I just wanted to make

00:00:31.364 --> 00:00:32.699
some recommendations.

00:00:32.699 --> 00:00:34.117
You can choose whatever you like

00:00:34.117 --> 00:00:36.036
based on your budget and your preferences.

00:00:36.036 --> 00:00:37.078
First up is of course

00:00:37.078 --> 00:00:39.039
the main centrepiece of the setup,

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.415
and that's the desk.

00:00:40.415 --> 00:00:42.459
One major and very important factor

00:00:42.459 --> 00:00:43.835
that everyone needs to consider

00:00:43.835 --> 00:00:45.211
when purchasing a desk

00:00:45.211 --> 00:00:46.921
is not actually the width of the desk,

00:00:46.921 --> 00:00:47.922
but they should be considering

00:00:47.922 --> 00:00:49.549
the depth of the desk.

00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:50.383
So this is something

00:00:50.383 --> 00:00:51.551
I learned the hard way.

00:00:51.551 --> 00:00:53.011
If your arms don't have support,

00:00:53.011 --> 00:00:54.345
your elbows don't have support,

00:00:54.345 --> 00:00:55.137
and they're kind of just floating

00:00:55.137 --> 00:00:57.599
whilst you're using your keyboard or mouse

00:00:57.599 --> 00:00:59.601
that can actually result in aching pains

00:00:59.601 --> 00:01:00.727
in your trapezius muscles,

00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:02.520
the muscles that are here and here.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:03.521
And you definitely don't want that.

00:01:03.521 --> 00:01:05.690
So it's really important to consider a desk

00:01:05.690 --> 00:01:08.193
that is deep enough to rest your arms on.

00:01:08.193 --> 00:01:10.445
Another solution to that 
is to have armrests.

00:01:10.445 --> 00:01:12.513
So if your chair has adjustable armrests,

00:01:12.513 --> 00:01:13.782
making the armrests

00:01:13.782 --> 00:01:15.229
the same height as your desk

00:01:15.229 --> 00:01:16.701
can also make a big difference.

00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:18.483
The desk I have here is from Vernal,

00:01:18.483 --> 00:01:19.996
who are also sponsoring this video.

00:01:19.996 --> 00:01:22.296
This is one from their new solid wood range,

00:01:22.296 --> 00:01:24.417
which is made from real walnut.

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:26.961
It looks and feels absolutely incredible.

00:01:27.003 --> 00:01:29.380
I'm personally a huge fan of Walnut.

00:01:29.631 --> 00:01:30.426
I love the way it looks,

00:01:30.426 --> 00:01:31.508
I love the way it feels.

00:01:31.508 --> 00:01:33.927
It's a very premium and luxurious wood.

00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:36.387
Great way to add some warmth to a setup.

00:01:36.429 --> 00:01:37.537
I have the large one here,

00:01:37.537 --> 00:01:39.619
which is 180 centimetres wide

00:01:39.619 --> 00:01:41.601
and 75 centimetres deep.

00:01:41.643 --> 00:01:43.394
The depth of this desk is perfect

00:01:43.394 --> 00:01:46.004
as it has enough space 
for my arms, keyboard and mouse,

00:01:46.004 --> 00:01:47.732
whilst also being able to easily fit

00:01:47.732 --> 00:01:50.527
a large 32 inch monitor and a desk shelf.

00:01:50.527 --> 00:01:52.278
It also has standing functionality

00:01:52.278 --> 00:01:53.905
with three different memory settings,

00:01:53.905 --> 00:01:55.615
has a built-in cable management tray,

00:01:55.615 --> 00:01:56.866
making it easy to store

00:01:56.866 --> 00:01:57.909
and hide away cables.

00:01:57.909 --> 00:01:59.508
My cable management isn't the neatest,

00:01:59.508 --> 00:02:00.495
but it works.

00:02:00.495 --> 00:02:02.428
I also have this matching desk shelf,

00:02:02.428 --> 00:02:04.165
which I'll cover later on in the video.

00:02:04.165 --> 00:02:05.250 line:1
Make sure to check out Vernal.

00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:06.507 line:1
I'll leave a link to this desk

00:02:06.507 --> 00:02:07.743 line:1
in the description below.

00:02:07.743 --> 00:02:09.117
If you can, I would also recommend

00:02:09.117 --> 00:02:10.841
putting your desk in front of a window

00:02:10.841 --> 00:02:11.965
or near a window.

00:02:12.298 --> 00:02:14.342
I'm not sure where 
this notion has come from,

00:02:14.342 --> 00:02:15.762
that putting your desk in front of a window

00:02:15.762 --> 00:02:16.803
is a bad thing.

00:02:16.803 --> 00:02:18.346
I actually think 
it's completely the opposite.

00:02:18.346 --> 00:02:19.514
I actually think having your desk

00:02:19.514 --> 00:02:20.765
in front of a window is a good thing.

00:02:20.765 --> 00:02:22.887
I get a lot of natural sunlight coming in,

00:02:22.887 --> 00:02:23.810
which is of course,

00:02:23.810 --> 00:02:25.238
great for my mental well-being.

00:02:25.238 --> 00:02:26.312
But at the same time,

00:02:26.312 --> 00:02:29.149
your eyes are then also more likely to focus

00:02:29.149 --> 00:02:31.609
on things farther away than your monitor

00:02:31.901 --> 00:02:33.486
or the wall behind your monitor,

00:02:33.486 --> 00:02:34.362
which is very important

00:02:34.362 --> 00:02:36.489
because then that can help combat myopia.

00:02:36.489 --> 00:02:37.657
So myopia is something

00:02:37.657 --> 00:02:39.284
I actually had previously,

00:02:39.284 --> 00:02:42.370
and myopia is essentially nearsightedness.

00:02:42.579 --> 00:02:44.372
It's when your eyes find it difficult

00:02:44.372 --> 00:02:45.874
to focus on things farther away.

00:02:45.874 --> 00:02:47.834
And one of the causes of myopia

00:02:47.834 --> 00:02:49.673
is looking at things close to you,

00:02:49.673 --> 00:02:50.753
like your monitor.

00:02:50.753 --> 00:02:52.297
If your eyes aren't regularly

00:02:52.297 --> 00:02:54.340
focusing on things further away

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:55.925
and you're not getting natural sunlight

00:02:55.925 --> 00:02:56.679
in your eyes,

00:02:56.679 --> 00:02:57.771
that can very much speed up

00:02:57.771 --> 00:02:59.304
the process of myopia

00:02:59.304 --> 00:03:01.639
causing you to have nearsightedness.

00:03:01.681 --> 00:03:02.769
Because I had myopia,

00:03:02.769 --> 00:03:05.143
the only way to fix it is to wear glasses.

00:03:05.143 --> 00:03:07.097
Now you can see 
I'm not wearing glasses right now,

00:03:07.097 --> 00:03:08.271
but I did used to

00:03:08.271 --> 00:03:10.940
because I have had laser eye surgery.

00:03:11.232 --> 00:03:12.535
Whether you should have laser eye surgery

00:03:12.535 --> 00:03:13.526
is really down to you,

00:03:13.526 --> 00:03:15.361
but it's been an absolute 
game changer for me.

00:03:15.361 --> 00:03:16.446
Next up is the chair.

00:03:16.446 --> 00:03:17.197
So even though it's not

00:03:17.197 --> 00:03:18.487
the centrepiece of the setup,

00:03:18.487 --> 00:03:20.825
it's probably the most important part

00:03:20.825 --> 00:03:22.573
because it's what you're going to be sitting in

00:03:22.573 --> 00:03:23.661
for hours on end.

00:03:23.661 --> 00:03:24.996
Please do not make the mistake

00:03:24.996 --> 00:03:26.497
of getting a gaming chair.

00:03:26.497 --> 00:03:27.790
Gaming chairs really

00:03:27.790 --> 00:03:29.167
do not make any sense to me.

00:03:29.167 --> 00:03:31.211
They are not designed to be ergonomic.

00:03:31.211 --> 00:03:32.629
They're not going 
to be good for your back.

00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:33.963
They might be comfortable at first

00:03:33.963 --> 00:03:35.715
and they may be fun
at first when you get it.

00:03:35.715 --> 00:03:37.342
But five, ten years down the line,

00:03:37.342 --> 00:03:39.010
when you're sitting in a chair like that

00:03:39.010 --> 00:03:41.221
for hours every single day,

00:03:41.221 --> 00:03:42.305
it's just not going to be good

00:03:42.305 --> 00:03:43.598
for your back in the future.

00:03:43.598 --> 00:03:45.225
Also, they're super ugly.

00:03:45.225 --> 00:03:46.976
I feel like they also look a bit childish

00:03:46.976 --> 00:03:48.394
and they're, well, overpriced.

00:03:48.394 --> 00:03:50.021
Please avoid gaming chairs.

00:03:50.021 --> 00:03:51.314
The chair I have here

00:03:51.314 --> 00:03:53.107
is the Herman Miller Aeron.

00:03:53.107 --> 00:03:54.192
This is by far and away

00:03:54.192 --> 00:03:56.236
the most ergonomic chair you can buy.

00:03:56.444 --> 00:03:57.695
It's absolutely incredible.

00:03:57.695 --> 00:03:59.113
What makes this chair so good

00:03:59.113 --> 00:04:01.241
is the amount of adjustability it has.

00:04:01.241 --> 00:04:02.533
You get the standard height adjustments

00:04:02.533 --> 00:04:03.493
like any other chair,

00:04:03.493 --> 00:04:05.328
but you also adjust the armrests,

00:04:05.328 --> 00:04:06.496
the tension of the backrest,

00:04:06.496 --> 00:04:08.081
and much, much more.

00:04:08.081 --> 00:04:09.958
When adjusted to you and your weight,

00:04:09.958 --> 00:04:11.751
it should almost feel effortless

00:04:11.751 --> 00:04:12.792
sitting in the chair.

00:04:12.792 --> 00:04:14.212
Now this chair is not cheap,

00:04:14.212 --> 00:04:16.965
it does retail new for around $1,000,

00:04:17.173 --> 00:04:18.466
but a small little hack,

00:04:18.466 --> 00:04:19.968
which I would very recommend,

00:04:19.968 --> 00:04:21.844
is looking on your local marketplace

00:04:21.844 --> 00:04:22.977
like Facebook Marketplace

00:04:22.977 --> 00:04:25.014
or any other sort of classified ads,

00:04:25.014 --> 00:04:26.859
and looking for Herman Miller Aeron chairs.

00:04:26.859 --> 00:04:28.393
You will find them

00:04:28.685 --> 00:04:30.913
for essentially half the price or less

00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:33.398
because offices are usually 
just giving them away,

00:04:33.398 --> 00:04:34.732
just trying to get rid of them.

00:04:34.732 --> 00:04:36.609
I would highly recommend getting a used one

00:04:36.609 --> 00:04:37.652
because they are built to last.

00:04:37.652 --> 00:04:40.241
They will last like 10,
15, 20 year no problem.

00:04:40.241 --> 00:04:41.071
Once you have a chair,

00:04:41.071 --> 00:04:43.032
it's important to then get the settings right.

00:04:43.032 --> 00:04:43.682
You need to make sure

00:04:43.682 --> 00:04:44.993
that when you're sitting in the chair,

00:04:44.993 --> 00:04:47.120
your feet can sit flat on the floor

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.579
and your knees are roughly

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:49.664
at a right angle.

00:04:49.664 --> 00:04:50.707
And then if your desk isn't

00:04:50.707 --> 00:04:51.958
deep enough to rest your arms,

00:04:51.958 --> 00:04:54.168
you need to make sure 
the armrests on the chair

00:04:54.168 --> 00:04:56.129
are at the same level as the desk.

00:04:56.129 --> 00:04:57.130
Next up is a monitor.

00:04:57.130 --> 00:04:58.298
So monitors are naturally

00:04:58.298 --> 00:05:00.133
very highly preference based.

00:05:00.133 --> 00:05:01.676
Everyone will have different requirements

00:05:01.676 --> 00:05:03.553
and different expectations of a monitor.

00:05:03.553 --> 00:05:05.138
Some people like myself will be fine

00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:05.900
with one monitor,

00:05:05.900 --> 00:05:07.932
whilst others will need multiple monitors.

00:05:07.932 --> 00:05:10.018
Some people might not even need a monitor

00:05:10.018 --> 00:05:12.061
and they are completely okay
with just a laptop.

00:05:12.061 --> 00:05:13.396
We're at this weird stage right now

00:05:13.396 --> 00:05:15.371
where there isn't really one monitor

00:05:15.371 --> 00:05:16.566
that's exceptionally good.

00:05:16.566 --> 00:05:18.526
One monitor that's great for everything.

00:05:18.526 --> 00:05:19.569
Now you can get monitors

00:05:19.569 --> 00:05:21.476
that are genuinely good enough.

00:05:21.476 --> 00:05:22.822
But I think, like I said,

00:05:22.822 --> 00:05:23.656
everyone's requirements,

00:05:23.656 --> 00:05:25.575
everyone's expectation is gonna be different.

00:05:25.575 --> 00:05:26.945
So it really comes down to

00:05:26.945 --> 00:05:28.536
what you expect from a monitor.

00:05:28.536 --> 00:05:30.079
For example, the monitor I have here

00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.040
is the Pro Display XDR,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:32.956
it's 6K resolution,

00:05:32.956 --> 00:05:35.251
super bright, and 32 inches in size.

00:05:35.251 --> 00:05:37.641
However, it would be terrible for gaming

00:05:37.641 --> 00:05:40.105
due to it only being 60 Hz refresh rate,

00:05:40.105 --> 00:05:41.215
and it's not OLED.

00:05:41.215 --> 00:05:42.550
But then you have OLED monitors

00:05:42.550 --> 00:05:44.552
that come in a variety of different sizes,

00:05:44.552 --> 00:05:46.471
resolutions, refresh rates.

00:05:46.471 --> 00:05:48.097
Yet because they're OLED,

00:05:48.097 --> 00:05:50.266
it's not as bright as a Mini LED monitor.

00:05:50.266 --> 00:05:52.810
So, in bright rooms,
they're not going to be that great.

00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:54.187
I did make a video last year

00:05:54.187 --> 00:05:56.022
called The One Monitor Setup,

00:05:56.022 --> 00:05:57.023
where I covered the monitor

00:05:57.023 --> 00:05:58.941
that's nearly good for everything.

00:05:58.941 --> 00:06:00.220
It's far from perfect,

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:02.153
but it does cover most people's needs.

00:06:02.153 --> 00:06:03.260
But what I would recommend

00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:04.781
is getting a monitor stand

00:06:04.781 --> 00:06:07.241
or an arm that gives you flexibility.

00:06:07.450 --> 00:06:09.035
The monitor stand for my display

00:06:09.035 --> 00:06:10.453
offers a ton of adjustability,

00:06:10.453 --> 00:06:12.020
including height and tilt.

00:06:12.020 --> 00:06:15.541
And high-end monitor arms 
can offer even more flexibility.

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:18.252
The aim is to get the monitor at a level

00:06:18.544 --> 00:06:20.088
where you're not angling

00:06:20.088 --> 00:06:22.298
your head too low or too high

00:06:22.298 --> 00:06:24.342
so your neck is ideally straight.

00:06:24.342 --> 00:06:25.510
I also like to regularly

00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:27.136
keep my desktop looking fresh,

00:06:27.136 --> 00:06:28.721
so I change wallpapers regularly.

00:06:28.721 --> 00:06:31.069
I have a bunch of my own wallpaper packs,

00:06:31.069 --> 00:06:32.558
make sure to check them out.

00:06:32.558 --> 00:06:33.476
I'll leave a link to them

00:06:33.476 --> 00:06:34.900
down in the description below.

00:06:34.900 --> 00:06:35.645
On my desk,

00:06:35.645 --> 00:06:37.230
I also have a desk shelf

00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:39.649
which can be used 
to raise the monitor even further.

00:06:39.649 --> 00:06:42.485
However, I use my desk shelf to mainly organise

00:06:42.485 --> 00:06:43.486
my other accessories

00:06:43.486 --> 00:06:45.238
and to raise my speakers.

00:06:45.238 --> 00:06:47.031
This desk shelf is also from Vernal,

00:06:47.031 --> 00:06:48.616
and made from solid walnut.

00:06:48.616 --> 00:06:50.076
I found that having something like this

00:06:50.076 --> 00:06:52.286
helps me organise my accessories

00:06:52.286 --> 00:06:54.038
as well as hide things away.

00:06:54.038 --> 00:06:55.094
There's a useful tray

00:06:55.094 --> 00:06:56.791
to put things like my external SSD,

00:06:56.916 --> 00:06:58.709
and because the desk shelf also raises

00:06:58.709 --> 00:07:00.753
the speakers to be closer to my ears,

00:07:00.753 --> 00:07:02.922
it helps with sound quality a lot.

00:07:03.214 --> 00:07:04.687
Same with the speaker wedges,

00:07:04.687 --> 00:07:06.217
so they're angled at my ears.

00:07:06.217 --> 00:07:07.218
If you do work alone,

00:07:07.218 --> 00:07:08.136
I would highly recommend

00:07:08.136 --> 00:07:09.345
a pair of desktop speakers.

00:07:09.345 --> 00:07:12.640
I specifically have 
the Audioengine A2+ speakers.

00:07:12.640 --> 00:07:15.017
These speakers are genuinely fantastic

00:07:15.017 --> 00:07:16.227
and they sound incredible

00:07:16.227 --> 00:07:17.437
when paired with a subwoofer.

00:07:17.437 --> 00:07:18.813
They have such a wide range

00:07:18.813 --> 00:07:20.398
depending on what I'm listening to,

00:07:20.398 --> 00:07:21.649
they can sound super sharp

00:07:21.649 --> 00:07:23.484
and tactile or smooth and warm.

00:07:23.484 --> 00:07:24.471
I'm no audiophine,

00:07:24.471 --> 00:07:26.988
but I definitely do appreciate good sound quality.

00:07:26.988 --> 00:07:28.823
I feel like a dedicated speakers

00:07:28.823 --> 00:07:29.532
or headphones,

00:07:29.532 --> 00:07:30.616
if that's what you're into,

00:07:30.616 --> 00:07:32.326
it's always going to be much better

00:07:32.326 --> 00:07:34.036
than the built-in speakers in a monitor.

00:07:34.036 --> 00:07:35.413
If you do video calls often,

00:07:35.413 --> 00:07:36.622
a webcam is a must.

00:07:36.622 --> 00:07:39.459
Most monitors do not have 
a webcam built-in.

00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:41.836
I have this Insta360 Link webcam

00:07:41.836 --> 00:07:43.087
that is a great quality.

00:07:43.087 --> 00:07:45.673
It's a great step up 
from a standard MacBook webcam.

00:07:45.673 --> 00:07:47.008
This is actually the older model.

00:07:47.008 --> 00:07:49.471
They now have the new Insta360 Link 2,

00:07:49.471 --> 00:07:50.595
which is even better.

00:07:50.595 --> 00:07:51.637
But this camera is awesome.

00:07:51.637 --> 00:07:53.455
It can follow me around if I move

00:07:53.455 --> 00:07:55.308
and can do a bunch of other cool stuff.

00:07:55.308 --> 00:07:56.309
If you have a laptop,

00:07:56.309 --> 00:07:59.020
regardless of if it's connected
to a monitor or not,

00:07:59.020 --> 00:08:00.188
I would highly recommend

00:08:00.188 --> 00:08:02.106
an adjustable laptop stand.

00:08:02.106 --> 00:08:04.150
The one I have here is from Native Union.

00:08:04.150 --> 00:08:05.401
It lets me adjust the height

00:08:05.401 --> 00:08:06.944
and angle of the laptop.

00:08:06.944 --> 00:08:09.030
It's solid, made from aluminium.

00:08:09.030 --> 00:08:10.156
It's the ideal way

00:08:10.156 --> 00:08:11.949
to raise your laptop to eye level

00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:12.742
so you're not having

00:08:12.742 --> 00:08:14.452
to bend your neck down to look at it.

00:08:14.452 --> 00:08:16.245
Now on to some 
other great small additions.

00:08:16.245 --> 00:08:17.788
I would highly recommend a mouse pad.

00:08:17.788 --> 00:08:19.832
I have this full grain leather one from ULX.

00:08:19.832 --> 00:08:21.918
It's a good way to add 
some nice texture to the desk

00:08:21.918 --> 00:08:22.977
whilst also protecting it

00:08:22.977 --> 00:08:24.837
from my mouse scratching up the desk.

00:08:24.837 --> 00:08:27.006
Keyboard and mouse are very preference-based.

00:08:27.006 --> 00:08:29.052
So I don't think there's really a right or wrong

00:08:29.052 --> 00:08:30.259
keyboard or mouse to use.

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.761
I personally use the Magic Keyboard

00:08:31.761 --> 00:08:32.553
and the Magic Mouse,

00:08:32.553 --> 00:08:35.014
which isn't known to be ergonomic at all,

00:08:35.014 --> 00:08:36.849
but I find the Magic Mouse amazing.

00:08:36.849 --> 00:08:38.392
I feel like it's the best mouse.

00:08:38.392 --> 00:08:39.962
I've been using it for over ten years now,

00:08:39.962 --> 00:08:41.062
I've not had any issues,

00:08:41.062 --> 00:08:42.855
but I can completely understand

00:08:42.855 --> 00:08:45.024
why other people do not find it ergonomic.

00:08:45.066 --> 00:08:46.692
For most people I would highly recommend

00:08:46.692 --> 00:08:47.985
the MX Master 3S,

00:08:47.985 --> 00:08:50.196
which has a ton of functionality

00:08:50.196 --> 00:08:51.697
and will be much more comfortable.

00:08:51.697 --> 00:08:52.907
If you have wrist issues,

00:08:52.907 --> 00:08:53.908
I would also recommend

00:08:53.908 --> 00:08:55.368
checking out the Logi Lift,

00:08:55.368 --> 00:08:56.619
which completely changes

00:08:56.619 --> 00:08:57.676
the angle of your hand,

00:08:57.676 --> 00:08:59.956
keeping it in a more natural position.

00:08:59.956 --> 00:09:01.749
If you have a laptop and a monitor setup,

00:09:01.749 --> 00:09:04.126
and need a bunch 
of additional ports for connectivity,

00:09:04.126 --> 00:09:06.420
I'd also recommend an external dock.

00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:08.381
I have this CalDigit one that lets me

00:09:08.381 --> 00:09:10.007
connect my laptop and monitor to it.

00:09:10.007 --> 00:09:10.341
I can

00:09:10.341 --> 00:09:12.093
then connect a bunch of accessories to it

00:09:12.093 --> 00:09:13.970
as it gives me a ton more USB ports

00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:15.721
as well as some other useful ports.

00:09:15.721 --> 00:09:16.597
I would also recommend

00:09:16.597 --> 00:09:18.182
some sort of desktop charger

00:09:18.182 --> 00:09:19.892
for your phone and other accessories.

00:09:19.892 --> 00:09:20.935
I have this desk charger

00:09:20.935 --> 00:09:22.436
that can charge my phone, Apple

00:09:22.436 --> 00:09:24.438
Watch and AirPods all at once.

00:09:24.438 --> 00:09:25.982
Not only is it useful, but it's also

00:09:25.982 --> 00:09:27.483
a very premium piece of tech.

00:09:27.483 --> 00:09:28.609
It has a weight to it

00:09:28.609 --> 00:09:30.653
and the materials it's made from fill.

00:09:30.653 --> 00:09:31.320
Incredible.

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.321
It looks very classy.

00:09:32.321 --> 00:09:34.031
And if you regularly work into the dock,

00:09:34.031 --> 00:09:34.657
then of course

00:09:34.657 --> 00:09:36.534
a desk lamp can be very useful.

00:09:36.534 --> 00:09:36.867
Again,

00:09:36.867 --> 00:09:37.868
whatever you choose here

00:09:37.868 --> 00:09:39.453
is purely preference based.

00:09:39.453 --> 00:09:41.205
I have the Logitech Lightship Beam

00:09:41.205 --> 00:09:42.832
Alexa, which is technically

00:09:42.832 --> 00:09:43.833
a light made

00:09:43.833 --> 00:09:44.792
for lighting your face

00:09:44.792 --> 00:09:46.627
when you're streaming, but I also find it

00:09:46.627 --> 00:09:48.379
very good as a desk lamp.

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:50.089
So for me it's dual purpose.

00:09:50.089 --> 00:09:51.215
You can adjust the brightness

00:09:51.215 --> 00:09:52.717
and colour temp on one side

00:09:52.717 --> 00:09:54.719
and the other side it changes colours

00:09:54.719 --> 00:09:55.469
so you can set it

00:09:55.469 --> 00:09:57.054
to pretty much any colour you like.

00:09:57.054 --> 00:09:58.431
If you like you'd a compliment.

00:09:58.431 --> 00:09:59.140
So those are just

00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:00.224
some of the desk upgrades

00:10:00.224 --> 00:10:01.392
I would recommend all.

00:10:01.392 --> 00:10:01.726
Of course,

00:10:01.726 --> 00:10:02.226
live links

00:10:02.226 --> 00:10:03.185
to everything down

00:10:03.185 --> 00:10:04.520
in the description below.

00:10:04.520 --> 00:10:04.979
If you guys

00:10:04.979 --> 00:10:06.272
have any other recommendations,

00:10:06.272 --> 00:10:07.315
please leave them in the comments.

00:10:07.315 --> 00:10:09.191
I'm always interested to hear

00:10:09.191 --> 00:10:10.651
what other people would recommend

00:10:10.651 --> 00:10:12.570
in making their setup more comfortable.

00:10:12.570 --> 00:10:13.904
Hopefully you guys enjoyed it.

00:10:13.904 --> 00:10:15.615
