I use a 13 inch Core 2 Duo MacBook Air.
My personal desktop is a 2008 Harpertown Mac Pro with 8 cores and 12GB of RAM.
Currently that means I'm carrying around an iPhone 4.
It weighs a ton so I use a beautiful little Fuji X100 as well.
I write in both notebooks using Muji's 0.38mm gel ink pens.
I travel everywhere with a pair of Bose QC15 noise-cancelling headphones.
Communication
I'm Ade Oshineye and I work as a Developer Advocate on the Google+ project.
I use Adium as a multi-protocol multi-account chat client that's always open.
Productivity
I use Keynote for all my presentations nowadays.
Browser
Coding & Development
Lately that means I'm playing with the beta versions of Chocolat.
I use several programming languages regularly but Python is my default.
Media
Photoshop Lightroom+ 86 others
This might even cause me to join the exodus to Adobe Lightroom.
That's why I use iTunes for managing all the music I've ripped from my CD collection.
I pay for a Spotify account.
My favourite extension is GPlusTab because it was built by my friends and it replaces my "new tab" window with a random photo from my portfolio.
Other
Next to that I have a decrepit Linux box running Ubuntu.
I'm addicted to Go (the game, not the programming language) so I end up running SmartGo on iPhone and iPad whenever I have a few spare minutes.
Spotify, iTunes and all my music players are piped into last.fm so that I can track changes in my musical taste.
