And welcome to reviewing everything on my desk.

This is fun because I review a lot of things on this channel, and

it's gonna be stuff that I've had for a few days or a few weeks or sometimes a few months.

But this is the stuff that I've been using the longest, that I know the best.

A lot of the stuff I've been using for many years, some of it for over a decade.

So, yeah, this is stuff I'm gonna know like the back of my hand.

Cause I've been making videos with it for many years now.

This sculpture is not great because of the chisel that the artist uses.

But you better believe that if that artist uses the same chisel for 10 years straight, they're gonna know it really well.

So let's start with the desk itself, which is actually kind of ridiculous.

This thing here, it's called the NextDesk Air Pro.

And it's mostly crazy because this whole thing is like a quarter inch thick.

It's this piece of aluminum, and with all this weight on it, like, this is a massive surface.

To have all this stuff here, it doesn't bend at all, which is kind of crazy.

This company doesn't really sell that much stuff or make that much other tech.

It's just this particular desk, which I got nearly a decade ago, happens to work perfectly.

I got this so long ago, the company was still called NextDesk, but now they're called XDesk.

But you can see here over on this little controller over here, it still says NextDesk.

So that's how you know it's an OG really.

My only complaint with this thing is that when you're raising and lowering the height of it, you have to keep holding the button.

On almost every other standing desk I've ever tried, you just press the button.

You press the one button for your one height, and.

This one, you have to hold the one button to set it to your one height.

So the next up is the chair, which is maybe a bit underrated in some setups, but

this is also one of the most highly rated, kind of famous chairs of all time.

And it's one of the best investments I've ever made.

It has a ton of adjustability, but at this point, I don't adjust anymore.

I'll probably have one for the foreseeable future.

I feel like the investment in your comfort and your back makes it worth it.

I'm giving this thing a 10 out of 10, so.

All right, next up on top of the desk is we'll start with the computer, which is the Mac Pro.

This is probably going to be one of the first things to.

I'm not giving up on it yet, but I'm pretty sure Apple already has.

I think this is now six years ago, and it was like 12, $13,000 at the time.

M2 Ultra, 24 cores, 76 core GPU, 192 gigs of RAM, and 8 terabytes of storage.

But now it's starting to age a little bit.

Cause We've seen the M3 generation of chips, and

there's an M3 Ultra in the Mac studio that that's the new most powerful Mac and the M4 generation of chips and then the M5 generation of chips.

And the Mac Pro has not been updated for any of those.

So it's still obviously a very powerful computer.

The one reason I got it is because I have one PCI card inside it.

And the Mac Pro was built around expansion.

I think it's a 64 terabyte SSD for all of my live backups.

Everything that we make, I back up to that ssd.

It has all the pros and cons of a normal tower PC.

A lot of people ask why I don't put it underneath the desk.

It's because with a sit stand desk, if I put it underneath the desk and the cables have to move up and down and reach it so it sits on the desk so the cables can be nicely hidden.

Yeah, this is going to be replaced pretty soon.

I Hope there's an M5 Ultra Mac Studio soon that I can swap this out with and then like a Thunderbolt OWC SSD for backup.

That's probably what this is going to be soon.

So that brings us next to the displays that I work with every single day, which is the Pro Display xdr.

I've had a dual monitor set up forever, but

the Pro Display xdr, on its face, it's actually kind of insane.

It's a 60Hz 32 inch LED backlit LCD 16, 9, no webcam, no speakers, and it's 5,000.

And the sand that it's actually standing on is also another thousand dollars.

And the Nano texture finish is another thousand dollars.

And for that price you could get an entire setup that looks actually a lot like this.

That's actually what we made the new studio video on.

So you can check that out at the link below the like button.

So of course this is a ridiculously niche product.

You can watch my full review of the Pro Display XDR from a couple years ago so you can understand what, what they are and who they're for.

I will say in this like brightly lit studio with a whole wall of windows over there, the nanotexture is actually extremely effective.

But it also makes them impossible to clean.
