I'm using a 13-inch MacBook Air from early 2015.
Oh and I recently bought an old iPod Classic with the goal of spending more time listening to music and reading (as opposed to listening to podcasts and staring at my phone constantly), but it's just another thing to charge now.
Communication
Productivity
I use it to read from when I have to give talks, and to read my saved articles on Pocket.
Notes
I write everything in iA Writer Classic.
Security
Design
I taught myself very basic InDesign to make the first four issues of Filmme Fatales, before a designer came on board to save me from myself.
Media
The reality of working in "content" means I spend a shitload of time inside Facebook Business Manager.
I like to own music, so always have iTunes running.
I recently, finally paid for a Spotify subscription because my "End of 2017" list was so embarrassing I decided to use it more now.
Storage
Other
I have 2 or 3 external battery packs for my phone because I play too much Blossom Blast so it always dies at lunch time.
I got it from a guy on eBay who felt like he had to explain how laptops work to me before we did a dodgy-looking cash exchange at a café.
