Setup 01 — The Home Office

Desks, chairs, monitors, lighting and audio that hold up over eight-hour days — used in a real production workflow, not staged for a photo.

Everything reviewed in this section was used for actual work. How testing is done — durations, sourcing, what gets measured — is on the Methodology page.
