I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2013, 2.6Ghz i7, 16GB, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M), my everyday companion that still works quite well and so I'm delaying the switch to dongle life.
I have an unexciting LG 24 inch display, and I use a 1999 lime iMac keyboard (M2452) and a Phillips SPM4900 mouse with 2 buttons and a scroll wheel.
I also have a Bamboo pen tablet that I use when playing with graphics.
To complete the photo setup I have a bunch of lightweight tripods, like the Ravelli APLT4.
Coding & Development
A good part of my work happens in code so I use a few IDEs - Xcode is my favorite.
I can't not mention two of the creative coding frameworks that I use and I'm a proud contributor of, openFrameworks and Processing (that is not just an IDE but a full environment for creative coding).
Design
When visualizing ideas Blender is my go to tool!
