For work right now I use a 2012 Mac Pro with 2 x 3,06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon.
At home I have a 2012 Mac Mini as a media center and hub for all my files.
It's hooked up to a 55-inch TV, together with our Apple TV and gaming consoles.
The computer I use the most is hands-down my iPhone 5s (yeah, I'm on the S upgrade cycle) running whatever the latest iOS is.
My iPad is a 3rd generation one that I use mainly for reading Wired, comic books and watching fxphd videos.
For my photography these days I've gone from having a Canon 7D kit with a bunch of nice lenses, via a tiny Sony NEX camera, to just using my iPhone.
I'm really excited about the DxO ONE.
For when I do read a book, I usually do that on a Kindle.
Communication
My favorite Twitter app is Tweetbot on iOS and on the Mac I enjoy the web interface.
Browser
Security
Design
Media
My main app is Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve.
Spotify is my music service of choice.
And I rent movies on iTunes.
This year I have not read one single book, but I have listened to a ton on Audible.
Storage
I love the tab syncing that iCloud does with Safari between devices.
But I do use Dropbox for sharing files between home, work and clients.
And the Norwegian cloud storage service Jottacloud is where all my private data is backed up to.
Other
But if there is a suite of programs that I could not survive without professionally, it is the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Since Marvel is the place for all the new canon Star Wars comics these days, I use the Marvel app for iOS to buy those digitally.
