Lately I've been getting into old computers and started working on creating my own game for the Famicom/NES.
At the moment I use a run-of-the-mill Lenovo L430 (Core i5, 2013 model) that belongs to my employer.
For developing on the NES I bought a Kazzo and an empty NROM cartridge and a plastic case.
But in hindsight I might have been better off with an EverDrive.
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 which I have used intensively over the last 2 years, and it's still working fine.

I've been running Ubuntu since about 2005 and I haven't really felt the need to switch.
For developing for the NES I run Gulp to watch the files and start the compilation if something changed.
When I cycle I sometimes use Strava to log my speed and distance.
