We spend an awful lot of time discussing applications and software on Mac.AppStorm, and today we wanted to take a slight departure to investigate a few physical Mac setups. After all, you need a relaxing and inspiring environment in which to use your computer!

Our roundup will take a look at 50 visually inspiring, gorgeous Mac setups. Some are very minimal, others are wonderfully cluttered. They may not all use the most powerful Mac hardware, but will hopefully give you some great ideas for improving your desk and workspace. Enjoy!

Further Inspiration

I hope you’ve enjoyed this collection – I always love taking a look at where and how other people work. Here are a few links for further inspiration and some brilliant workspace setups:

• Shawn Blanc’s Sweet Mac Setups – Several of the examples here are from Shawn Blanc’s series. A brilliant set of articles for understanding why people use the hardware and software they do.
• Simple Desks – A collection of minimal workspaces, curated by Pat Dryburgh. There’s some wonderfully “zen” content here.
• Minimal Mac – Another regular resource for minimal workspace tips and examples

We’ll be inviting you all to submit a photo of your own workspace later this week, so stay tuned for more information!
