I recently got a custom 15.6" W650EH laptop by Cleivo, put together by Metabox.

Notes
I always have a bunch of text files open in Notepad++ that I'm constantly referring to and editing and I have a semi-structured system for notes and to-do lists.
Coding & Development
I'd love to get quick at all the keyboard shortcuts in Sublime Text, but I haven't made the transition yet.
Media
For a lot of our audio we're using a great little tool called Bfxr.
Storage
Other
We both share design and business duties, and we've been working on Crawl for about a year now.
My main PC is a Windows 7 desktop with an Intel i7 2.67GHz CPU, 6GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 4800 series graphics card.
It's running Windows 8 though, which I'm not so keen on.

My first foray into game development was with Adventure Game Studio, which lets you quickly set up some characters and backgrounds and build an adventure game with very little experience.
