I use a MacBook Air that's four or five years old.
Communication
I have found it easier to manage than WordPress (particularly as I know next to nothing about databases), but I have been thinking lately about moving on from GitHub and hosting the Jekyll sites myself.
I do still have a Gmail account, I won't lie.
Productivity
When I'm writing articles etc that need to be shared with an editor, I typically write in Microsoft Word.
I hate all word processing software, and anyone who insists that Google Docs is so much better than Word is a liar.

Notes
Coding & Development
I export HTML from Byword into Sublime Text.
For my book, I've used Scrivener to store all my research notes.
Other
I've run all my sites on Jekyll and GitHub Pages for a while now.
DuckDuckGo is my default search engine.
