Secretlab MAGNUS Pro Review: The Next-Gen Sit-To-Stand Desk – SlashGear

For MAGNUS users who are considering an upgrade, the MAGNUS Pro is also backward compatible with nearly all previous accessories — including the original MAGRGB LED Strip (with remote) and all cable management clips. Unfortunately, buyers who invested in the L-Shaped Extension for their original MAGNUS will find the Pro is (obviously) not compatible. The extension could be used still as a standalone piece but wouldn’t entirely match the design of the Pro version (which includes center-mounted legs and a few other design tweaks). Those same tweaks also make placement of select accessories (such as cable sheaths) a little awkward. Neither of these drawbacks is a flaw in the Pro model’s design but, for those who have already bought into Secretlab’s desk offerings, it’s worth noting which of your prior purchases are going to carry over.

Like Secretlab’s lineup of TITAN chairs, the MAGNUS line isn’t cheap (the base model starts at $549 with the MAGNUS Pro at $799 and $949 for the XL) but they are a great value: these are fully-featured, uniquely customizable, and sturdy workstations. The MAGNUS Pro is a high-quality but affordable standing desk that fits seamlessly into Secretlab’s lineup and design philosophy. For anyone that has enjoyed their MAGNUS desk but was looking for a sit-to-stand setup, the Pro or Pro XL is sure to deliver; whereas potential buyers who are certain they won’t want an adjustable height setup will not gain much by upgrading from a MAGNUS to Pro. Still, for buyers that are looking to buy their first or next sit-to-stand desk, the MAGNUS Pro is easily one of the sleekest, cleanest, and feature-rich desks on the market.

The next batch of MAGNUS Pro and Pro XL units are currently available for pre-order and are scheduled to launch in April 2023. To pre-order or learn more about the MAGNUS Pro, head over to Secretlab.
