I just got a NEC MultiSync P241W for prepress and video work, retiring a genuinely sick Samsung that was developing stalagmite-like burn-in along the bottom edge...
I still have my old Wall Street G3 PowerBook on deck, because I'm often transferring old files from the early days of Cheapass, back when that was my production machine.
E-Mount 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 Zoom
The 18-200mm NEX E-Mount lens is a great lens, and it's my current go-to lens for a one camera location shoot.
I also have a Shure VP83F Lenshopper mic for run-and-gun (though usually when I'm doing R+G I don't need audio).
I also do quite a lot of music composition on my iPad when I am on the road.
