Hunched over my single laptop screen furiously alt tabbing between workbooks and consistently pissing people off by zooming out to 70% and unfreezing panes because my laptop screen is so small. No mouse

38 inch curved screen (totally worth it), cal digit TS4, mx master 3 mouse, grovemade desk shelf, sit stand desk from autonomous, Aeron from Herman miller, and Shure mic with Rose mic stand…… gotta invest in your setup if you sitting at home all day hahaha

I have like a clicker thing so I can connect 2 laptops to the same monitor, key board, mouse, and webcam. And I switch laptop with a little button.

It is called ‘Aimos KVM Switch’.

Also have a ring light so I look less terrible.

My toddler agrees 😂

Vari Electric Standing Desk
Laura Bowery Chair (looks like Herman Miller)
Dual 27” LG USB-C monitors (all the height, tilt, swivel features so I chose not to mount onto the desk)
Logitech 1080p cam
Logitech MX Keys Keyboard and MX Master Mouse
Rode NT-USB Mic mounted on a Rode PSA-1 swivel arm
Dual HomePod Mini
Adjustable Footrest
Balance board (when standing)
HP Color Laserjet Pro Printer (sits on the office storage cabinets)

I have a cool lamp, but thinking about getting some accent LED lights and a modern light ceiling fan as well.

Apart from a big enough table + comfortable chair , one 23 inch monitor , height and tilt etc adjustable, one tilt laptop stand. External keyboard + mouse + speakers (to play some music while working on Excel :D)
Plan to soon upgrade my chair to have neck support and lumbar support ( I hear it's worth it)

Table recommendations? I have a basic L shaped one from Amazon which doesn’t have a lot of width

Thunderbolt dock connected to three 24” Dell Ultrasharp monitors all on arms, Logitech MX keyboard and MX Master mouse. Laptop kept closed off to the left of my desk.

Thank you!! Pics anyone?

I’m on vacation, otherwise I’d send one

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April.
