Hello everyone, I am Teacher Lin, we meet again!
As an ordinary social animal worker, there are always nearly 10 hours of workday spent in the company. A desktop with both high efficiency and good looks is particularly important. After all, a clean and simple desktop, In addition to being convenient and efficient, it can also make people feel happy. If you finish work early, you can finish work earlier, and avoid falling into a vicious circle of involution.
Of course, ordinary workers always have a limited budget. Nowadays, young people have already passed the stage of looking for face. They don’t buy expensive ones but only buy suitable ones. What cost-effective desktop accessories are worth recommending. In this issue, I will combine the desktop devices I usually use to recommend some cost-effective desktop accessories that take into account both appearance and productivity.
Good equipment makes work more efficient, and the notebook can be called the core of the desktop. My M1 Macbook Air is definitely the most valuable product I have bought in 2021. In May 2021, the price of Pinduoduo’s tens of billions of subsidy is about 6700 start. I have to say that Apple's products really preserve their value. My colleague bought the same model on Pinduoduo 618 on 618 this year, and the price was only reduced by less than 300.
And even if you start this year, the M1 MBA is still the best entry-level notebook, not one of them. The performance experience of the M1 Mac needs no introduction. Users who have bought it already have a good reputation. If it is not for professional editing and other types of work that require performance, the performance of the M1 is more than sufficient.
The leapfrog performance of M1, I think it will still be outdated after 3 years, not to mention the elegant and easy-to-use Mac OS ecology, exquisite industrial design, thin and portable body, high-quality screen... The only regret is that Apple uses It has been molded for 6 years, and the screen-to-body ratio will be slightly lower in 2022. As the core of the work desktop, I would like to call the M1 Macbook an "artifact for workers".
As an LCD party, after the release of iPhone SE 3, I replaced the iPhone 12 Pro in my hand with an iPhone SE equipped with an LCD screen. I have to say that my eyesight has improved a lot since then, and I can see girls on the road more clearly. However, I recently bought this OPPO Reno 8 as a backup machine. Although SE lacks dual-card dual-standby, it cannot dual-open WeChat. For social animals like me who work day and night, dual-card and WeChat dual-open All just needed.
In addition to just needing to buy Reno 8, what I value more is its thin and light body. The weight of Reno 8 is only about 180g, which is especially valuable at the moment when the flagship is half a catty. After all, I already have a mobile phone and add another one. The machine weighs half a catty, and it is estimated that I dare not go out without a belt. On the other hand, Reno 8 has an excellent appearance and texture. The metal frame and the exaggerated screen-to-body ratio on the front make it look better and more usable. The efficiency of browsing information on the large screen is also higher than that of the small-screen iPhone SE. However, the Reno8 body is too square, and the large-sized body is coupled with an excessively tough frame. It will still feel a little difficult to hold for a long time.
Although the MacBook is powerful, it has only two USB-C ports. Since I entered the MacBook, I have been looking for an easy-to-use HUB. From the earliest white brand to Green Link, the mainstream HUB either lacks HDMI or lacks reading. Bayonet, finally on 618 this year, I found this Pro HUB Mini from SATECHI, which basically has all the interfaces you need for daily use. In addition to the conventional USB-A and HDMI, it is equipped with a USB-C 4.0 interface, which can read and write The speed has been greatly improved, and an Ethernet cable interface is even added, which was never expected.
In addition to rich interfaces and complete functions, I think SATECHI’s design is a perfect match for Macbook. The gray aluminum alloy shell and two USB-C ports fit perfectly with my M1 MacBook, and it is more convenient to use. Connected to the side of the fuselage, unlike other external hubs connected by a single cable, it is almost integrated with the notebook, without frequent plugging and unplugging, and there is no trouble of dragging the cable, so the desktop looks more tidy. This is what I think SATECHI Best design for user experience.
Keychron has been widely loved by geek enthusiasts at home and abroad. In addition to its high value, the outstanding cost performance is also a major reason. The starting price of my keychron K6 is less than 500. It has a simple appearance. The original keycaps are mainly gray, with orange embellishments. Embellished with Morandi color, the whole appearance is deep in my heart. In addition, the fuselage is equipped with more than ten kinds of RGB backlight effects, which are good-looking, but the power consumption is also very considerable, so it is generally not turned on. The key is that the office is brightly lit during the day, and the backlight is almost invisible.
In terms of function, Keychron can be said to be one of the best keyboards for Mac/Windows dual systems. The side button can switch Mac/Windows with one key. There are not many keyboards on the market that are well adapted to Mac OS systems. In addition, Keychron I think it is the best entry-level mechanical keyboard for Mac users. Needless to say, the tactile feel of the switch body, I believe everyone has their own preferences, I chose the red switch, the balance of sound and touch is better, and it will not affect the work of colleagues in the office, which is extremely important.
The Logitech MX Master series has always been the ceiling of the desktop wireless mouse, and of course the price is also the ceiling. Due to the urgency at hand, I bought this 2S last year. It can only be said that it is a little regretful, but the MX 2S is generally sufficient for daily office work.
There are several reasons for buying this model. The first is that the mouse body is large enough, which is very rare for people with big hands. Most of the so-called ergonomic mice on the market are very small. It is smooth, and there are two optional scrolling modes. For pages with a large number of pages, you can experience the thrill of sliding to the end; for me, the most necessary point is the side scroll wheel button. I set this button to It becomes the horizontal scrolling of the page. For users like me who read several tables a day, it is simply not too friendly, and the production efficiency has increased by more than several times.
Of course, MX Master 2S is not perfect. The most criticized point is the charging port, which is still an old-fashioned USB-A port. It seems that MX 3 has improved and uses a USB-C port. Aside from this shortcoming, I think this is a near-perfect mouse.
This computer stand from Twelve south can be said to be one of my desktop favorites. The appearance and texture match the Mac very well. The whole stand is made of metal, and the simple design is integrated. Simple lines, in fact, any brand of notebooks placed on it will not have a sense of disobedience, very versatile.
The most worth mentioning is not the appearance, but its workmanship. Twelve South Curve, as its name suggests, is made of a whole piece of metal. The thickness of the metal is about 0.7cm, which is enough thickness for you to put your hands on When going up to type, it will not shake easily, which is extremely important for office work. In addition, the height of the bracket is about 15cm. When the notebook is placed on it, the screen is opened, and the eyes are just looking at the same level. Even if you sit for a long time, it will not cause back pain.
More importantly, although it does not have a single screw, its load-bearing capacity and stability are very solid. I put the computer on it every day, and my hands hardly shake when typing on it, which shows the texture.
Finally, I put a piece of my daily desktop settings, simple, less is more, a good table does not need fancy RGB, efficiency is always the first priority.
I'm Teacher Lin, see you next time!
