Thinking about adding a walking pad for my home office. Worth it?

Slowly updating my home office one piece at a time and recently switched to a standing desk.

I keep seeing these paired with walking pads, and I may be considering for this space.

To those who actually use one: Do you walk and work the whole time? Does it actually take fatigue away from your back and neck or just more movement? And where does it go when you are not using it?

Using one of these just seems interesting to me, but whether it would be worth buying I am yet to decide.

P.S.: Is there something I HAVE to focus on when picking one, like dimension, a lot of noise or better storability in such a setup?

College student looking for a mini PC, help me pick one

Setting up my dorm this semester and decided to go the mini PC route instead of a laptop. Looking for something that can handle everyday schoolwork, some coding, and gaming.

Been going back and forth between the Mac mini M4 Pro 24GB 2TB at $1999 and the GEEKOM A9 Max 2026 HX470 32GB 2TB at $1799.

The Mac is obviously the Mac. Great build, macOS ecosystem, and the M4 Pro is no joke. But 24GB is soldered and that's your ceiling forever. The GEEKOM I can upgrade to 64GB myself for like $80 later on, and the port situation is just better for a desk setup.

Gaming is another thing I keep thinking about. The Radeon 890M on the GEEKOM runs Windows so my whole Steam library works

Only thing making me hesitate is I've been on Mac my whole life and switching feels like a commitment.

Anyone driving either of these? Is the GEEKOM worth it or am I going to miss macOS more than I think?
