Thanks for the information.

Btw, did you not install the top shelf part or what? Just wondering, b/c the version I looked at had a top shelf as well. Did you cut that section off?

There's 2 versions of the Jerker, one version is the one you're describing, not as wide, a curve in the middle and bars that go up each side for shelves (the computer desk), and then there's the standard jerker desk that saxondale's got.

I went to Ikea to buy myself one, and decided it looked like an absolute rip-off *gets ready for a flaming*, in the end I purchased a table top (around the same size as the jerker), 4 legs and a keyboard shelf for around half the price of a jerker, and IMO it looks a lot better (beefier) :p.

Doesn't your macbook overheat with it on and shut?

Oops... Sorry about the delayed reply.

It didn't overheat from my short time using it like that. I now use the MacBook keyboard instead of the wireless because the Option key is stuck meaning I wasn't able to type properly (it'd just come up with symbols).

Sax I'm intrigued by that set up, how does that work for you having the iMac behind the MacBook Pro like that? Or did you just do that for the picture :p Regardless if by accident or not, it looks like it could have some productivity advantages.

It helps if i want to transfer large data between the two, or change which Mac i want to use my MIDI keyboard on without moving anything apart from a USB cable. I also can use my iMac for music and work on my MBP if i want to save battery, anything like that. Also, it looks nice :p

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.

      Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
