Summary based on the YouTube transcript and episode description.

MKBHD reviews his full 2026 desk setup, rating each item 1–10 after years of daily use.

  • XDesk Air Pro (96×38 in aluminum sit-stand) rated 9/10; only flaw is hold-to-set height button behavior.
  • Mac Pro M2 Ultra ($12–13K, 192GB RAM, 8TB) rated 4/10 — three chip generations behind and Apple appears to have abandoned the line.
  • Two Pro Display XDRs each cost $7K fully configured (display + stand + nanoTexture); 60Hz with no webcam or speakers.
  • Apollo Twin Gen 2 audio interface rated 4/10 due to persistent firmware and software bugs despite years of use.
  • Yamaha HS8 studio monitors rated 9/10; reach 40Hz without a subwoofer, RF interference from nearby phones is a known quirk.
  • MX Master 4 mouse features haptics and a new finish expected to outlast the rubberized coating that degraded on earlier MX Master models.
  • Artisan Ninja FX mousepad had to be imported from Amazon Japan (~$75) when local stock ran out after years of wear.
