In their own words

My advice is to first clearly identify your needs and budget. Then, invest in significant upgrades within that budget to notably enhance your user experience.

Observation notes

Xu Teng's dual BenQ monitors run one continuous snow-mountain photo across both screens, with an iPad mounted on its own arm between them as a third reference display. A Mac Studio and a finned external SSD sit on the monitor shelf, with the Hexcal Elevate standing desk's height-adjust buttons visible right at the desk edge — clearly a desk that gets raised and lowered, not just left in one position.

A digital thermometer clock, a card reader, and a coiled charging cable are kept close at hand rather than tucked away, and a blue-accented keyboard is the single color note against an otherwise black-and-white desk. A small watermark in the corner of these shots — the blogger's own handle — is the only sign this is also a working content setup.

Xu Teng's stated approach — know your needs and budget first, then invest meaningfully within it — reads clearly in a desk that spent its budget on the sit-stand frame and the Mac Studio rather than on visual extras.
