I Built My Dream Desk Setup ($10,000 Budget)
In my recent setup tour I showed how I’ve gradually built my workspace over time through lots of small improvements. After posting that video I asked myself the question: If I had to start completely from scratch, using the same amount of money I’ve spent on my current setup, how would I do things differently? To find out, I spent $10,000 to build my perfect desk setup...

Thanks for all the comments and questions! I've noticed a lot of people asking what I meant in regards to not keeping the second setup - just wanted to clarify that I’ll be consolidating these two desks into one as I don't really have room for both. As a result, I'll be returning some products that aren't fitting my current needs (mainly the M3 Pro Macbook which isn’t enough of an upgrade over my M1 Pro to justify the cost). Sorry this wasn't more clear in the video!

Wow, that's pretty tacky to buy a computer from Apple for a tech review only to return it after.

did you get more than 10k profit from this vid tho?
The production quality of your videos are *chef's kiss*
The Studio Display is a no brainer
Things you realise after watching a $10K desk setup video. 1) What sounds like a lot of money doesn’t go as far as you’d think when you buy quality. 2) The little things really make a difference. That clock 🤌🏻 Great video mate. 🙌🏻
Love the insights you had in this video man! Makes me wanna rearrange again. And i’m definitely getting that ikea lamp! ✨
I actually love the old set up. Swap the not so stable electric desk for a more stable one and I'd be happy. The Studio display is beautiful, but I just couldn't justify that price point for simply just looks, when there are cheaper alternatives which perform just as well. Great video man, can see the level of detail you put in! Can see this video performing really well!
What a beautiful workspace you've created, looks great. Two simple things I noticed which I would do differently: The MacBook cooling exhaust is designed to exit hot air out the back and up. You have it placed to blow hot air down into the table top, which creates unnecessary air flow resistance and also hinders the natural motion of hot air rising upwards and out of the chassis, not passing over any internal components for a second time. Secondly, I would recommend a laptop stand/cradle that will allow the laptop to stand totally vertical and not slanted like you have - because It creates unnecessary pressure on the lid or the bottom from the weight of the laptop.
Please don't spend $10,000 on a desk setup. Unless you have LOTS of money. My work bought my base M2 Air and, other than that, I spent about $600 on my setup. This does NOT look $9000 better than mine.

Jordge, I gotta say! The Shutterstock reaction shots made this video 🤣 and I'm actually really happy you were honest that you were not keeping the setup!
love the wood desk .
Love the set up!
My wife got the same wood desk for her home office. Looks amazing on oak flooring with lots of plants around. I got with Herman Miller Jarvis standing desk (oak) as I have a more industrial look for my home office.

Books and storage caddy under the monitor riser 👌🏾👌🏾

Yo love your style. Where did you get those hangers for your bag?
10,000..!!!! Christ on a bike..😮
I like the simple set-up and I’ve always been one to value quality over quantity, so the premium desk you have is right up my street.. The only thing I really don’t like is the stand you have for your MacBook, I think I would have went with something like BookArc by Twelve South or an under desk laptop bracket to further reduce visual clutter on your desk.
Thick thigh problems 😂 Love it mate
Love your video.
Imagine feeding the never-ending consumer consumption machine.
For anyone here that likes the Keychron, but also values security against keyloggers, the Logitech MX Mechanical Keys is nice as well and is FIPS 2.0 compliant. For the monitor, if you don't need all the features of the Studio Display, the M8 Monitor or S9 ViewFinity is a nice alternative.
Will I be keeping the set up? No of course not? What the heck? So you’re going to return everything? What does this mean?
hi hi!! Loved this video- could you link the in-ear's you mentioned?? I've been looking for a pair when im not in the mood for my chonky bluetooth headphones!! Thank you so much :)
Really enjoyed watching, you work your way from product to product. As for myself, I would replace the Apple laptop and Studio Display for a 27-inch Intel iMac Pro with its matching "space gray" accessories (i.e. keyboard, track pad, and mouse). Now, what happens to all the items you purchased?
My setup is almost identical to yours with a few differences, my Magsafe charger is closer to my desk pad. I have a USB C charging hub and one USB C 12" cable for charging peripherals on my desk. I have a BENQ monitor light. I also have a Google Home for photos like you do. And I drilled on my desk in order to hide all of the wires and my monitor is wall-mounted.
Those bigger legs coming from the good ol' Squats. What a flex! But in all seriousness - nicely put together! Great job on that setup
May i ask what pad he using in 6:54, many thanks
You should try out the ergonomic mouse by Logitech and the Magic Trackpad combo. I’ve been loving it and for me it’s solved my issue with my right wrist getting strained within 15 minutes of using a regular mouse.
Loved that video! Love the space, white and woody... amazing inspiration comes to me to build my 10K setup too!
What will you do with the new setup then? Just return it all?
was weird when i saw the city centre apple store, was in there yesterday haha.
That shot of the Apple Store looks waaaaaay too familiar! St. Davids 2, Cardiff?
I missed the details about the clock, what brand?
Can the uGreen HUb be used with a pc if you don't have a laptop? how would you connect it to the PC to us it as a usb hub?
for that kind of money I would create a personal gym set in my place but hey since we spend a lot of time behind our desk I get it.
7:40…what is the tablet u use for the clock on your desk?
Any links for that analog clock 😮
What speakers/stands are those?
What is the laptop stand?
This guy just called me poor in 10 min video
I have the white MS Master 3. I wash my hands regularly. It still discolored. I ended up going with the dark gray instead.
What's the size of your desk? Length and width?
Witch Keyboard is this
I think you should have gone for the Samsung M8 since u were coming from that LG. that would've been way cheaper than the studio display and allowed you to buy a herman miller chair
@JorgePowell

I did consider the M8 but ultimately decided the studio monitor would be better suited for my creative needs, I’m currently looking at the M8 for another video though so it might make an appearance soon 👀
If the price is factoring hardware that seems reasonable.

Wait, you spent 10,000 quid to build a second desk setup that you have no use for, and you won't keep, for fun? What an absolute waste of resources.
btw I hate all the docks available it's such a cable mess
Well coming from an everything Apple owner… the budget goes… $50 for desk from FaceBook Marketplace, $9,500 Apple monitor, oh and $1,000 for a stand and over budget $40 for power adapter 😂
Dang this video made me realize just how much I have spent on my desk setup...Niot far off from yours...yikjes!
Your setup looks amazing BUT I'd urge you to reconsider the monitor choice. The Dell U3223QE is a 4k, 32 inch monitor with 98% DCI-P3 coverage. It has IPS Black technology which bumps the contrast ration from 1:1000 to 1:2000. I got one for around £700 and IMO it beats the studio display in every dept. Also, if using with a MBP, it has 95w charging through USB-C, and it has an INSANE port selection, which IMO negates the need for an external USB Hub. Yes, you'll need a webcam and speakers. But you can get a nice, cheap sound bar which will match the studio displays output, and a nice webcam for a fraction of the difference in price (not considering the money you' *might* save if you also return the ugreen hub.
Noice
Wild that you can buy $10,000 worth of stuff, record a video. and just return it all. Wild.

Different people value different things. Some people value having a desk setup with a particular aesthetic. Desk setup videos are helpful in giving such people ideas for how to create thier own desks. Working in the right environment can be energizing and inspiring.
Please don’t spend this amount of money people . This is just for clicks
And what are you trying to tell us by spending $10,000? Better make videos for the general public... that would make sense!!
rly bad audio ngl
waste of money
10k? my 50bucks set up look better then this
