What’s on your desk, Danilo?
In this section, readers showcase their desks (and what's on them), explain what they use and how, and in the process, everyone learns something new. Check out other desks, and if you can, send in yours!
Hello everyone! My name is Danilo, I’m 37 years old, and I live in Jaboticabal (SP). I work as a systems analyst for a consulting firm that partners with Totvs, focusing on the Protheus ERP. Currently, I work 100% from home, and as someone with Tourette syndrome, the home office setup has been incredibly beneficial for me.
(Ignore the model in the photo…)
The desk itself is a generic model measuring 150×60 cm, which I adapted by adding a shelf at the back to gain an extra 20 cm in depth, making it 150×80 cm. Since the shelf is only 1 m long, there’s some space on the sides that can be seen behind the laptop.
- MacBook Pro (M2, 13 inches, 8 GB of RAM). I’ve had it for about a year and a half, and it has served me very well for my daily tasks. I don’t plan on replacing it anytime soon.
- Samsung Viewfinity S6 Monitor (27 inches, QHD resolution 2560×1440). The monitor has a USB hub where I connect the keyboard and mouse receiver. The connection to the laptop is made via a Thunderbolt cable that transmits both data and power.
- Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Mouse. I chose this model when I had a second laptop, but now I only use it for this setup.
- Ajazz AKS 068 Keyboard (brown switches). I recently purchased this to replace a Logitech G Pro TKL that was too noisy due to its blue switches.
Accessories:
- Height-adjustable laptop stand.
- Edifier W800bt Plus headphones, a simple pair that works great for me.
- AirPods 4, which I think don’t need any introduction.
- Generic desk pad purchased on Mercado Livre measuring 70×40 cm.
- Gocase bottle of 950 ml.
- Unlined notebook for some random notes.
