I'm currently using a 17" 2.3 ghz Core i7 MacBook Pro laptop for pretty much all of my computational needs.
I have a Drobo plugged into an ancient Macbook in my basement with 2 TB on it.
At my office I have a big 'ole Apple screen that I plug into.
But it looks pretty tacky next to an Apple keyboard and screen.
I have an Apple TV that basically is used by my kids to watch Cars or Toy Story 3 whenever Mommy and Daddy need 30 seconds to boil water.

Browser
Truthfully almost everything I do lives inside of Chrome.
Media
I use Aperture for organizing my photo library.

The only thing that taxes this beast of a machine is the occasional video game, but besides playing the Warcraft auction house, I don't have much time for games these days.
