Re: What have you just bought?
A solid oak, L shaped standing desk for my new office space. It is 2m x 2m and 80cm deep. I would have gone for something smaller, but 2m is a standard size so is cheaper and has quicker delivery. Not cheap but it should last and saves me using different tables and cabinets for equipment. The electrician is coming this week to fit power and ethernet.

Hi paps, I have the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Chromebook which I bought in April 2024.
When my Acer laptop died (using Microsoft and Linux) I decided to break away from Microsoft and I have never looked back. I'm not a gamer, unless I can count 3D Sudoku  , and find the Lenovo chromebook does everything I want in every other area.
I would be interested to hear how you get on with your new purchase.
