What laptop/Computer do you use currently?

A Framework laptop. The replaceable extension ports were a godsend at first but since my current configuration was found most effective (2 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A port, 1 HDMI port), that's been static. It's a nice feature to have for the future. Everything else is plugged into the dock which handles charging and keyboard/mouse charging; they both can work on Bluetooth otherwise. HDMI via dock is a bit of an issue. Until that's solved, I'm delegating a whole extension port for it.

It was to replace both my ThinkPad T400 (RIP in peace, ol' rusty trusty) and some other old hand-me-down ThinkCentre from over a decade ago. I probably beefed it up too much with 1TiB disk space and 32GiB of RAM but considering I was literally crashing from out-of-memory errors before from a prior bring-your-own-device job, this is a lifesaver just in case I have to do that again. Hopefully not and I can use that for testing in virtual machines instead.

If it wasn't my main machine to use on a 4K display, I wouldn't be using GNOME on it. That's just a few cents for your thoughts.

Laptop: MacBook Pro 15" Mid-2014, 1 x 2.8GHz 4c i7-4980HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD + 512GB SDCard

Desktop: Dell Precision 7920 2 x 2.9GHZ Xeon 6226R, 192GB RAM, 2TB SSD

VM host: MacMini 2018, 1 x 3.2GHz 6c i7-8700B, 64 GB RAM, 1TB SSD

NAS: QNAP TS-451+, 1 x 1.9GHz 4c Celeron J1900, 8GB RAM, 8TB HDD

The laptop is old, but it's solid and has the decent keyboard, and I haven't _needed_ to replace it yet, and I can't bring myself to spend the $5k a decent replacement will cost. One day.

The desktop was paid for by my employer. It's a beast. Not what I would have bought, but ... it's pretty good for big C++ project builds. It has two 30" Dell monitors too.

The VM host lets me run macOS, Windows, and Linux VMs. Renting Mac/Windows VMs is expensive, so I ended up with this instead. Very happy with how it worked out.

The NAS just has a mirrored pair of 8TB drives (one Seagate, one Western Digital). I do BTRFS snapshots onto a 16TB backup drive, which gets removed and swapped off-site once a month. I need to grow this: I'll probably put the backup drives into the NAS, and get a pair of bigger backup drives.

What do you mean "what computer"? You think I have only one?? :)

Desktops:

Daily driver: Skylake NUC with 16GB RAM, FreeBSD with KDE

Gaming: Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 3080 Ti, 64GB, Windows 10

Work: Mac Mini M1 with 8GB (meh, 8GB is not enough but my work only buys off-the-shelf SKUs and these are not upgradable :( )

- The above 3 are all connected to the same 4k 24" screen (200% scaling) :)

Laptops:

Work 2: Thinkpad T490s 16GB RAM, Windows 11

On the go: Ultra-cheap "Chuwi" Atom laptop with an old Ubuntu version (been meaning to change it as I hate Ubuntu). I rately do laptopey stuff anyway.

That's about it in terms of workstations :P Servers is another story (mostly a Linux and ESXi one)

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 15”. It replaces a 2012 model that was exchanged for the price of a battery change. It was a rare loophole in Apple’s repair policy.

I just bought a 2017 Macbook 12” to travel by bicycle and motorcycle. It’s a whole kilogram lighter, and cheap enough to be worth it. It can run my dev stack, or just let me edit my website through a CMS.

Good old tower pcs, two of them under my desk. An old i7 with 32 gib ram running linux that is my primary workstation. An i9 with 64 gib ram running windows, that is dedicated to playing games.

At work it's the same 7 year old docked dell laptop I got when I started, but I only use it as a terminal, I work on a shell on a machine in the server room.

Since late 2019 I have been using Lenovo P53 fitted with 128Gb of RAM and RT3000 NVidia GPU. I run Arch on it, I plan to stay on this laptop until something fatally breaks (my guess is it will be SSD, which I will replace)

This laptop is more of a mobile workstation, very heavy and bulky. But I don't mind.

My daily driver is an i7 ASUS Chromebox 3 with 16 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. I also have a Lenovo Yoga N26 Chromebook with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB storage.

Daily driver: Threadripper 3970X with 128GB ECC RAM. It runs FreeBSD releases.

Laptop: Thinkpad X260 with i7 and 16GB RAM.

I also use an iPad Air M1 for whiteboarding and sketching.
