For work, I have a Lenovo T530 that has 16GB RAM and 500GB hard disk space that I mostly keep at my office in Mountain View.
It's hooked up to a 27" Planar monitor for funsies.
Yet my dream is the single machine -- most of my development work is on my i7 13" MacBook Pro (sorry, boss!).
I also scored a Nexus 7 that facilitates a lot of derping around on whatever down time I have.
I have two Raspberry Pis, one given graciously to me as a gift, and the other from PyCon's awesomeness, both a Model B.
Communication
I've migrating away from gmail to FastMail for more control, privacy, and no ads.
