I also have a second-gen 11" MacBook Air which is starting to lose its mind too -- the interface animation gets slower every year, and I've turned it down as far as I can.
I have an iPhone 5 I use for taking pictures, editing on the subway, listening to music on my Bluetooth earbuds, and receiving two-factor authentication text messages.
Communication
I also have a bag made out of recycled bicycle tires.
Notes
Coding & Development
Media
My favorite is called Tina Time-lapse which sometimes shows a personal apology from the creator when it crashes which starts "Dear Friend" so I keep using it.
Storage
It's synced through iCloud, which has a web interface so I can use it on my PC, and also I can edit on my phone on the subway.
Other
I'm Peter Richardson, and I make unusual maps at Mapzen in New York.
Windows 10 is really fast, and you can turn off all of the interface animation.
I have the Jaybird BlueBuds X, I like them.
