Macbook Pro 2008. Replaced the battery and she keeps chugging along. Will upgrade to OSX 10.9 when the manufacturer of my audio interface finally produces a driver for it. If they don't, then this MBP will remain with Mountain Lion, as it's my primary production audio work station at this time. I'm about ready to dump my Windows 8.1 desktop for a Cheese Grater Mac Pro. Not feeling the R2D2 Trash can and besides, I'm not rich (yet).

Toshiba R930-117 (Windows) - 128GB SSD, but I do lots of video editing/audio production so it's getting full quick! Can anyone recommend a bigger SSD?
Raspberry Pi (Linux) - Not really a desktop, but that's what I use it as! Mainly for coding and web development...

It's been really cool seeing everyone's setup :yes:

My main computer for the last 7 or so years has been an MBP. I just upgraded a week ago to this Mid 2012 Retina 15" MBP and I'm loving it.

Core i7, 16GB RAM running Mavericks

The company I work for is 95% Windows so my work computer is a Dell Optiplex 740

Windows 8.1

At home we have an old 2006 iMac since my wife and I both have laptops. It's running Lion I believe and we use it for general stuff when we don't want to use our laptops and for printing/scanning.

My wife has a Dell Lattitude laptop running Windows 7. It's got a 128GB SSD and 8GB of RAM, gonna be upgrading it to Win 8 in a week or two.

I have two older laptops and a desktop in my basement running Windows 98, XP and Vista. I use the Windows 98 laptop with an attachment to plug into my VW harness to diagnose trouble codes and change settings. The desktop I was supposed to reload and clean up to give to a friend but it's been a year and now I don't know if they will even want it anymore. The other laptop was an older laptop that I got from work I may reload it and just use it as some kind of server.

HP pavilion G6 2210si running windows 8.

4GB RAM DDR3
I3 3rd generation


Wish I got a lenovo G580 With a Pentium or Celeron (cant remember) and 2 gigs of RAM instead...it runs smoother and much cheaper...

Yes it costs $399 and runs smother, better and more responsive than a $599 hp pavilion g6...its no wonder the geeks support the brand so strong.

Some day though I hope to one day have an apple laptop, I mean a proper one running OSX not this (see attachment)

Unfortunately this is all I can afford right now...gotta admit...the apple adds a nice touch.

I tried out the new Retina MacBook Pros, and they look so incredibly more zippier than my old MacBook Pro, that I'm actually contemplating about splashing the dollars for a new one.

Personally, a 2012 15" retina MBP, an 2009 13" white unibody MacBook and a Lenovo thinkpad running linux (work).

In the home, wife has a 2012 21" iMac and we have a 2010 Mac Mini serving up content to the network and AppleTVs.

Linux for work? I have never heard of a workplace running Linux as a desktop os, servers yes but not workstations. What version of Linux and did Lenovo ship it like that or did your work wipe Windows and go with Linux?
