I have a two-year-old MacBook Pro for work, a 13” M3 Pro with 18GB of memory - big improvement on my same-vintage Air. It’s connected to a Samsung 28” 4K monitor with a Logitech Brio 300 webcam. I have been happily using a Logitech MX Keys for Mac keyboard (flat keyboards with low travel ftw) and a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse for quite a while now. These sit on an Orbitkey desk mat, which in turn sits on an Ikea Bekant desk, while I sit on a Steelcase Gesture chair.
I don’t carry a lot in my pockets - just my iPhone 16 Plus (in white) with an OhSnap! SnapGrip 4 attached, an Apple Watch Series 9 on my wrist. I don’t carry a wallet anymore, just a Myki for now - hopefully in a few weeks I won’t even need that. Everything else goes in a bag - usually the Aer City Pack Pro X-Pac but I’ve recently picked up a Crumpler messenger bag.
In the bag you’ll usually find my laptop, an iPad Air (5th generation), AirPods Pro 2 and/or AirPods Max (depending on the day), a Yeti Rambler 36oz in Alpine Yellow, my Bellroy tech kit, and some Oakley Holbrook sunglasses.
The stuff I use every day includes Dia, Mail (I have gone through so many mail clients for macOS and this truly is the best of a bad bunch), Notion, 1Password, Reminders, Alfred, Mojito, PopClip, Moom, macshot, Spotify, and the Breville Precision Brewer.

I have an old SFF PC I’ve repurposed as a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS media server, with a 120GB SSD for speedy downloads and writes, and a 6TB spinny disk for bulk storage. It runs SABNzbd, Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin, Bazarr, Clu, and Komga. Playback for movies and TV is via Infuse for tvOS on a 75” Hisense TV with a pair of HomePod minis for audio, and I read comics on my iPad using Panels.
