Creating a setup that’s minimal at the same time is productive as well, can be a daunting task, but not after this article, in the next 3 minutes, you will know how to create an aesthetically pleasing, minimal setup, that gets the word done, more productively. So, with that said, let’s get straight into the details.

THE LAPTOP PART:

Getting a laptop that is minimal, at the same time that gets the work done, is not only important but is a necessity, and while, one can decide to go with windows, I would still prefer the Macbook, over anything else, and maybe you will as well.

With that said the Macbook comes with a host of choices, from choosing between Air and Pro, then again choosing between M1, and M2, and once again choosing from the different configuration options, I get it, it’s time-consuming, but it didn’t have to be, right.

For someone who doesn't run complex software, and uses a laptop for casual uses, the Macbook Air M1 is perfectly fine, for someone who needs an intensive machine, consider going with the Macbook Pro 14" base variant, you can configure it as per your requirement and budget, and as per you personal preference.

ACCESSORIES:

The list can be never-ending with so much stuff, available in the market, one can go easily crazy on how many accessories they use, but do you need them? Maybe not.

While I had included the Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard, you don’t need their necessity in the first place, you can avoid them completely in moving to the next part of the article, still, for someone who needs more than just the laptop, considering external mouse, and keyboard is an obvious choice.

Magic Mouse:

It’s not the best mouse from any angle be it anything, but it’s average at all and is above average at some, add the fact it comes from Apple, i.e you will be getting seamless connectivity, it’s small size, there’s no doubt why many prefer the Magic Mouse over another mouse, potentially better than Magic Mouse, in some areas.

Magic Keyword:

The story remains the same with the magic keyword, as it is with the magic mouse, making it a worthy candidate to take into consideration.

SOUND SYSTEM:

As far as the sound is concerned, you could have the best speakers and whatnot, but keeping in mind the central goal i.e minimalism it’s far better to go with something like HomePod, not only it works as a smart speaker, but integrates well with entire Apple Ecosystem.
