Secretlab’s new Magnus desk is a hybrid sit-to-stand desk with some lovely features.
Secretlab’s new sit-to-stand metal desk comes in two variants: Pro and Pro XL.
Both desks are quite large, but the XL gives you some extra space for your setup.
It’s also a practical desk from a gaming setup standpoint.
The Magpad is a giant magnetic pad that covers the entire surface of the desk.
A control panel is built into the front-right edge of the desk to adjust the height.
The presets are useful to program your ideal sitting and standing heights.
Having a third option is nice if multiple people are using the Magnus Pro as a standing desk.
There’s also a small display that tells you the current height of the desk.
The internal motor is quiet and the legs move smoothly.
The Pro has a two-leg design rather than the four-leg layout of the original.
The desk feels very sturdy, just like the original.
The other major addition to the Magnus Pro series is actually my favorite.
Secretlab built a power supply that is hidden inside the left desk leg.
On the top of the left leg there’s an outlet to connect your power strip to.
The Magnus Pro remedies this issue in a smart and practical way.
Moving the desk up and down without this feature would undoubtedly cause some chaos with power cords.
Single and double monitor arms clamp easily and securely to the opening that leads to the cable management tray.
You may not like having your monitor at the same angle while standing as you do sitting.
Cables are once again the enemy here, as they are hidden by snap-on covers.
With this PC mount, your tower moves with the legs when changing the desk height.
I have a decent-sized PC case and the metal mounting system was easy to set up and use.
Secretlab says that it should fit “most PC cases.”
The Secretlab Magnus Pro is a more versatile version of the best gaming desk around.
Is it worth an upgrade if you already have the Magnus?
No, at least not unless you really want to make the move to a standing desk.
The Magnus Pro isavailable to order now for $799,while theMagnus Pro XL is $949.
