Show us your workstations!

Got most of the details from this thread, but one other. Kinda weird. Where did you get your bed blanket thing..it's nice..

Bed Bath and Beyond! I think.

[designme]

Can anyone tell me what is that monitor stand? Thanks

[Rohdekill]

Just.... wow!

[TEX4S]

Its hilarious (in a pathetic way) how people will lay out every damned piece of electronics they own when they take a pic of their "workstations"

Its pretty obvious how everything is laid out, lined-up, and "on display"

This isn't a show-n-tell - we want to see people's desks/workstations/computers -- not their lame ass motorola, and some puny pathetic ipod nano :rolleyes:

Can you take a few pictures for me? I cant seem to find good shots on it online, like pictures of the top and the front of the laptop. Thanks! :D

you cant take pictures of ideapads, they will instantly fall apart upon sight of the camera flash - they are junk -- dont confuse them with the ThinkPads which are the best/most reliable laptops on the market.

ideapads - plastic

ThinkPad - titanium & magnesium alloy

No changes, only moved my case and placed it on the floor... :)

It's a bit of a mess, but.. it's nice my new cat decided to finally stake a home on my desk within arms reach.

That how my desk and room is, I can't concentrate with alot of stuff laying around ;) Next time I will put my used socks and underwear on the table and take the picture to make you happy ;)

This is for you my friend

[niovhe]

Wow, you guys make me feel like I should tidy my desk :p

Very nice setups though, esp. your collection of posters Louisville ^^

You so reminded me of my setup & desk condition when i was studying in the UK. From time to time i dig messy desktops, they're so convenient :D

^ with all the food lying around, it would attract bugs. Gross!

Here's my Macbook setup...

[Chasethebase Veteran]

@trek: Would be nice to have my laptop closed while connected to an external, but it can't be done. Mainly because it automatically shuts off the display but also because it gets quite warm.

Your settings must be wrong. You should be able to use your laptop (minus the heat issue) closed while the external display remains on.

^^^^^

advanced power settings, one of the 1st choices is "control what closing the lid does.."

lol TamilBoy86, funny that you post up your workstation because I was going to make a request for you to post it. good timing.

although i'm still against having a macbook as a 24/7 windows notebook. :whistle:

lol... MacBook Pro + Win 7 is the best combination I'v ever had :D :cool:, its still a pc inside :p

But why do you do that? You could've gotten a PC for much MUCH less with similar specs, if not better. All you're paying for is the brand, the poor design/heat, and OS X.

Quality build.... I'v seen my friends Dell, HP, my sisters 2xHP and my 2xAcer... all of them **** quality, and always some problems... noisy plastik cases, crappy design... MacBook Pro on the other hand looks great, alu-case, simple clean design, thin, great battery life and powerfull in the same time... I don't like OS X, the way you shift around with windows and application sucks big time and the dock is crap too, I work much faster in windows, especially Windows 7(superbar :D)... I haven't had any heat issuse with mine yet... My sister is also going to buy a MacBook Pro 13" this month and will be using Win 7 on it, she got tired of her HP laptops :p

[Matt B]

there are some seriously impressive desktops here (so clean :o)

hopefully one day i'll get around to cleaning mine up and posting

[lemonbear]

great battery life

the battery in windows 7 is worse than it is in OSX, from what i've read.

Its really good :woot: .. maybe people should learn to dim the screen and set it to power saver mode or balanced mode :p... it doesn't automaticly dim the screen in windows like it does in OS X.....

If you're looking at the MBP rather than the Macbook, have you considered looking at real professional PC laptops instead of consumer garbage? Lenovo Thinkpad, DELL Precision, and HP Elitebook and Probook models all come to mind and are exceptional in build quality compared with DELL and HPs consumer lines which are much like the macbook.

Agreed, and if you take care of your laptop, it will last. My Compaq has been humming along for 6 years, and I've accidentally dropped it once (it was padded drop though). That thing is a 6 pound brick, and build quality is great, no flex on the chasis. Thinkpad though...not even Apple can touch them. I have a Dell Latitude E6500, and surprisingly it's built really well, and easily blazes through a day with 6-7 hours of battery with WiFi/Bluetooth on.
