What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?
+1 on a good quality computer chair that fits YOUR needs vs just an expensive chair is the key. I did months of research and settled on a Haworth Fern. Best $1500 I’ve ever spent. Granted, no chair in the world is going to be comfortable after so many hours of sitting, but having the right adjustmen

Just received my brand new Herman Miller Aeron. Ask Me Anything!
Some family member with 10hr fwh job has developed spine issues and bought the aeron...heaping praises after praises so I had always this chair in the back of my mind... My primary reasons for buying Aeron: it forces you to sit in a more upright posture which rewards your back in long sitting hours

IMHO, Macbook are good for work related purposes ,their price just gone up by 30% however 2 days ago. Online pathology are usually web-based - thus not a major issues. Even, EMR are usually web-based as well. However, in case you will need to run some propietary softwares e.g. Medical Director , Bes

What’s something that cost over $1,000 but felt totally worth it after you bought it?
Maybe it's bc I'm tall but I've never found Aerons to be comfy. Went through a couple before getting a haworth fern instead. 10/10 highly recommended as an alternative if you don't like Aerons

What's something expensive you bought that actually worth the money?
I went between the embody and the Haworth Fern. Decided on the Fern and love it but think they are both amazing.

Amaze is an amazing chair and I was very close to pulling the trigger as well. Enjoy!! P.S The only reason I went for refurbished Haworth Fern is because of the lumbar support which I needed more than the headrest.

Gaming Chair for telehealth?
+1 for ergonomic chairs- much better than the gaming ones. Don’t cheap out on this, as you are likely spending 8+ hours on this for 5 days a week. HM Aeron or Embody, Steelcase Leap V2 or Amia, or Haworth Zody or Fern.

Empfehlenswerte Gaming/Office Stühle?
Einfach einen refurbished für 600 Euro direkt beim Händler bestellen. Ein Aeron für den Preis und man braucht eigentlich nie wieder was anderes. Habe selbst schon alle möglichen durch: Bioswing, haworth fern, embody. Aeron ist schon ziemlich nice.

Need a new chair.
Those who recommended Secretlab obviously did not own other chairs. Try Haworth Fern / Zody in their KL showroom if you’re nearby. Can get RM2k-ish during sales from their official Lazada store. Good and decent task chairs. I saw you’re contemplating on Libernovo Omni. I’m having this as well. Very
