At home I've got a 13" MacBook Air and an Acer Aspire notebook.
Beyond the above work setups, I've got an iPhone 4S (16GB), which I use constantly.
Communication
I use Gmail for personal email.
Coding & Development
I use Xcode 4 regularly since I'm now immersed in the app-making world.
Design
I run NX 7.5 for mechanical design and ANSYS 14.0 for stress analysis.
Media
The MacBook is used primarily for iOS development (TetherBoard) and the Acer, which was originally bought as a cheap travel laptop that I could abuse, now serves somewhat as a second monitor for pulling up articles, Spotify, and email while I work on the MacBook.
