Which gadget on your desk would you rescue first in a fire?

It's heavy, it's warm, and it contains your entire professional life plus that half-finished novel. Losing it would mean explaining to IT what 'urgent backup' actually meant.

They've saved you from open-plan chatter, screaming toddlers and the bloke on the train watching TikToks at full volume. Worth every penny and then some.

You spent a weekend picking the switches and another painting the keycaps. No one else touches it, and that's exactly how you like it.

Not glamorous, but try surviving a day without one. The real MVP of the desk, especially the one cable that actually charges fast.

Going back to a single screen feels like writing with a quill. You'd absolutely struggle out the door with it, dignity be damned.
