At work, I mostly use an HP Z620 Workstation with an NVidia GPU card in it, running Linux, with a single 30" monitor.
Communication
For handling email, I use GMail with lots of filters to automatically file and label message (I get about 1400 email messages per day, so I have to be quite efficient to deal with it all in a reasonable amount of time).
Productivity
For writing, commenting and collaborating on internal technical documents, I use Google Docs.
For giving presentations, I almost exclusively use Google Slides.
Browser
I use the Chrome browser and do web searches using Google :).
Notes
For technical papers, I and my coauthors usually use LaTeX.
