WorkspaceMy desk setup, one pick per slot
The desk and everything on it. Where I spend most of my waking hours, so it gets the most scrutiny.
This is my pick for every slot of it: the laptop, chair, monitors, desk, keyboard and mouse, then everything around them, from the dock, webcam, microphone and monitor light to the UPS under the desk and the cables.
22 of the 28 are a 3, true best in slot; 5 are a 2, almost best in slot; 1 is a 1, not best in slot.
