I typically like to keep it simple with one monitor, but my Laptop serves as a place for my terminal and other secondary apps. My dotfiles repo makes setup a cinch, so I have a (mostly) consistent environment between my personal and work laptop. Plus, I don’t have to dump all my non-work files before turning in a Laptop. I avoid work messages on my computer, and I’m not tempted with personal projects at work. While swapping a laptop at my desk gets annoying, the physical and mental separation is worth it. I’ve always felt weird about using it for my personal and freelance projects, so now I use a separate Laptop for personal work. I used to use my work laptop for both work and personal projects.

Macbook Pro 15” (2018 model) - Work Machine Syncing one Magic Mouse between my work and personal laptops is annoying, so I bought another to avoid pairing the mouse between laptops (trust me, it’s super annoying). I love this mouse so much I own two: a black and silver model. I would never consider cheating on this mouse with anything else. This mouse goes multiple weeks without needing a charge. If I am in a bind, I can plug it in, take a ten-minute break, and get another day out of it. I don’t mind that you have to charge it upside down. I loved the original Magic Mouse, but the Magic Mouse 2 is tremendously better. I prefer the numeric keypad model because the arrow keys are way better than the compact version, and I use the numeric keypad too! Magic Mouse 2 - Black and Silver Oh, and the battery life on this keyboard is stellar.
I even switched back from my WASD V3 88-Key Custom Mechanical Keyboard which I still use when I’m at work. The travel on the Magic Keyboard is less than the previous Apple Keyboard, but more than the butterfly mechanism on the 2016-2018 MacBook pros. This is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned-full stop. It forces me to justify the value of an app being on my home screen.Īpple Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad - Silver I intentionally only use four rows to keep the number of apps I use at bay. My most-used apps include Things, Spotify, Bear, Wallet, and Audible. I am not a phone power user, and I try to keep my apps to a minimum. I pay for my phones in cash and use them until they feel sluggish. My only gripe is accidental trackpad taps or Esc key bumps (escape is mapped to my caps lock) that loses focus on the active app.
Reaching for the escape key on the Touch Bar is clunky, but I love the laptop’s form factor, and the large trackpad is fantastic. I am content with the Touch Bar model for now. Most of the time, my Laptop is perched on an Rain mStand360. Apple serviced it for free, and my 2016 model has a brand-new battery and updated 2018 keyboard. I like the butterfly keyboard, but it does have one repair claim for a stuck “x” key. Office Setup MacBook Pro 15” 16 GB of memory - 2016 model I mostly write PHP, JavaScript, and DevOps-related code, and I thought I’d share what’s working for me. I thought I’d document my setup as a way to track every year how things change and what remains the same over time.
