Retina MacBook Pro 15" 16GB/512GB SSD. Which I like mainly for the screen, use it at the simulated 1920x1200 res. It sucks that it can barely play flash or do other cpu intensive things without it getting fucking hot and loud. Its a shame because the GPU is pretty fast. Wish Apple could make a fucking decent thermal design.

Thinkpad X220 16GB/256GB SSD, Win7 Pro. I love it for its small size, long battery life, and ruggedness. Although I should warn you the plastic doesn't get on well with mosquito repellant, I learned that in Costa Rica last year. Also the trackpoint, 3 mouse buttons, and keyboard. It actually has a bigger keyboard than the rMBP despite being classified as a 12" laptop. Oh and a 3-year warranty where a guy comes to your house to fix whatever is wrong that only cost $100 or so. The screen is painfully tiny at 1366x768 though.

I guess I couldn't decide on one laptop, there are both good for different things. At home I sometimes plug into a 24" Dell 1920x1200 LCD and use a Kinesys Freestyle Pro keyboard and Logitech Anywhere MX mouse. That is nice for extended computer work.

My phone is a HTC First. Yeah the Facebook phone. Its a reasonable size, looks nice, you can uninstall all the facebook junk, and the battery lasts me 3 days. And I only paid $170 for it because no one wants them. Oh and the GPS and 3G work unlike my previous Galaxy Nexus.

Software-wise, I mainly use Debian under VMWare for work. And Firefox for browsing natively. The builtin sync feature is good. mutt and notmuch for email. I run irssi and bitlbee for jabber on a server, which I connect to with mosh.
