I'm not a graphics snob by any means, but a recent video card upgrade means that I can now play all the fancy AAA games and be wowed by their various million-dollar graphical advances.
I also have a G933 wireless headset, which does the job fine.
My laptop is a Zenbook UX330UA.
Oh and I also have a Nintendo Switch.
Communication
I use Slack for specifically workplace-related organization & communication.
Productivity
Occasionally I'll use Trello if it's a task bigger than something Keep is built to handle, or if it requires task-delegation of some sort.
Notes
Coding & Development
Unity is nice, but most of the time I'm making games solo, and for that I feel far more comfortable in GameMaker.
Media
For audio, Audacity, which is also free & good.
Storage
For files, I keep a meticulously organized Dropbox, where all my non-Drive work lives.
Other
For game dev, I love GameMaker Studio.
For heavy-text games, Twine is my go-to.
