Inside Stevie Bonifield's Triple-PC Desk Setup: A Verge Writer's Tech Sanctuary

Order emerges from the chaos of managing three computers at once. Stevie Bonifield, a news writer at The Verge, has pulled back the curtain on a workspace that reflects the true spirit of a tech enthusiast. It's not just a gallery of gadgets; it's a meticulously crafted environment designed for a complex workflow spanning Linux and macOS.

Stevie Bonifield Desk Setup: Ergonmics at a 24-inch Scale

The foundation of Bonifield's setup is a tailored approach to furniture. Addressing the challenge of being on the shorter side, they utilize a VIVO 3-stage adjustable desk that drops down to a remarkably low 24 inches. Paired with a Haworth Breck chair featuring a minimum seat height of 15 inches, the setup eliminates the need for a footrest while maintaining optimal typing posture.

Bridging the Gap Between M4 MacBooks and Linux

The hardware configuration is a powerhouse of versatility. Two M4 MacBook Air laptops—one for work and one for personal use—are tucked away in a $30MAXECHO desk side mount. Meanwhile, a custom-built gaming PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and RX 6600 runs Fedora 41, showcasing their preference for open-source environments.

The dual-monitor setup consists of two 27-inch 1440p displays: a Viewsonic Omni and an Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS. Efficiency is maintained through smart peripheral choices like the Nuphy Halo75 V2 keyboard and the budget-friendly $35Razer Orochi V2 mouse, both capable of jumping between devices with ease.
