I use a 15 inch MacBook Pro with the 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067 HHZ DDR3.
Oh, and I just got an iPad which I love more than I thought I ever would.
AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED+ 2 others
My primary nightclub lens is a Nikkor 24-70 2.8.
AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
I use a Nikkor 24-120 3.5-5.6 when I don't feel like lugging the 24-70 around with me all day.
70-200mm F2.8 EX DG APOMacro HSM II+ 1 other
I have a Sigma 70-200 2.8 Telephoto lens which I love for band photos.
My flash of choice is the SB-800.
I power it with the Quantum Battery 1+ when I know I am going to be shooting all day or shooting really quickly.
I also carry around with me the Yashica T4 35mm camera at all times and I usually have a Leica C-Lux 3 to shoot video or quick digital snap shots I know I am not going to use for anything important.

I also shockingly use Photoshop 5.5 to do all my watermarking.

My website's photo galleries are done in this horrible program called JAlbum.
