My main machine is a 13" unibody Macbook.
I upgraded the internal disk to a Corsair P256 SSD about a year ago, and I'll never go back to spinning-metal disks.
I compensate for the slightly smaller disk size by carrying a portable 500Gb Seagate FreeAgent USB disk in my bag for large media.
I make regular automated backups, both to a Time Capsule (at home) and to rsync.net (from everywhere else).
Communication
My favourite desktop twitter client is Yorufukurou, which I admire for its keyboard shortcuts and humility of UI.
I use a dedicated mail server-provider (Tuffmail) for my email hosting because their spam filtering is fantastic, but also forward all non-spam from its inbox to GMail for mobile use.

Coding & Development
Code, both opensource and private projects, lives on github.

Storage
Important files that I want to share with the iPad are also in Dropbox.
