I'm using a Retina MBP 13".
When I get to work, I hook it up to a 27" Dell display, and use a wireless Evoluent VerticalMouse (I do a lot of mousing.
See below.) together with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
I use an iPhone 5, and also an iPad.
Communication
(Reminders.app runs my life; I am very forgetful.) I use Apple's Mail.app for email, and I try to keep it unsophisticated: I quell the flood of emails by subscribing only to mailing lists where I'm reasonably sure most emails are of direct interest to me.
Productivity
I went to great lengths to make it just-so: I even wrote a window manager -- cwm, it survives to this day, and ships in the base OpenBSD distribution -- to escape the tyranny of having an environment designed by others.
Browser
Notes
Security
The Duo Security app helps me access both monkey.org and Twitter's internal networks securely.
Coding & Development
The Scala compiler continually taunts me with type-checking failures.
Media
I share short videos with Vine.
Storage
I use Apple's Photo Streams to share images with my family.
For that, I use Benjamin Pierce's excellent Unison.
You can use it like a more sophisticated and private Dropbox.
Other
I have a beefy (headless) Linux box underneath my desk (running Ubuntu).
For one, I use OS X.
I use Pinboard to catalog my web excursions.
