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

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
