This is what I use basically every day. It's either at my desk, in my bag, or within arms reach.

Laptop - Thinkpad x220

-

My everyday driver is a Thinkpad x220, specced with an i5 2540m, 6GB RAM, and a 500GB EVO 860 mSata SSD. It typically runs Debian with dwm, but since I've been having problems with my arm, it's been running Pop!_OS like a champ.

-

I use this laptop for practically everything, and it performs well for my use-cases whether docked at my desk, or standalone for travels.

-

X220 Docking Station

-

When I'm at home, I typically stay docked to this station as it has all my ports pre-plugged, and an additional 500GB HDD (which I don't use). This makes it easy to switch between working at the desk, and lounging on the seatee/bed.

Daily Driver

+

Steam Deck

+

My everyday driver is now a SteamDeck, as I'm doing reduced work with development, and VMs at home, and instead opting for some more gaming. I've yet to use it as a laptop, so if it's non-functional for minor "out-of-office" server fixes, etc. I'll need to rethink this.

Gaming PC

Red, a custom built machine sporting an R5 2600X, 16GB RAM, a 500GB EVO 970 NVME, and a Vega 64. This is my only device running Windows.

-

I don't use this anywhere near as much as I used to, but when I want to play a game I've got this PC that I know will perform, regardless of the title.

-

I am heavily considering selling it when the Steamdeck releases, however.

+

I currently still have this to play Windows exclusive games/games without Linux Anti-Cheat enabled (Smite namely) with friends. Once HiRez sort their shit, it's gone.

Fire TV Stick 4K

Since my TV is useless alone, and I don't watch traditional television, this is plugged in to give me access to Netflix, Amazon Video, Crunchyroll, and Jellyfin.

I don't use this for anything other than playing music. It stays next to the TV waiting for me to say "Alexa, play We like to party, by the Vengaboys." + +

Same as above, but this one's upstairs so the music plays uninterupted through the house

Servers

An HP 290 G1 MT, with an i5-7500, and 8GB RAM. This is my primary server, although I've still yet to get around to migrating services from rpi3.

rpi3

A Raspberry Pi 3B+ that's running my webserver, and gitserver, alongside a few docker containers. It's a pretty swell device, and I may very well start a cluster with it when I get the chance.

+

An HP 290 G1 MT, with an i5-7500, and 32GB RAM. This is my primary server, acting as my virtualisation host, NAS, adBlock, and media server. It also runs git, my game servers, and anything else I feel like hosting at the time. A consideration is upgrading to a 7700/7700K, but energy concerns have me thinking of switching to RPIs for a while, then rebuilding some current-gen beast in the coming years.

Unused/Spares

I go through hoarding phases unfortunately, so besides what I've listed, I also have; 5 other PCs of various specs, a 1U server, 4 more laptops (3 of which are Thinkpads), and a RPI 3B. Out of these, I intend to keep two PCs, the 3 thinkpads, and the RPI3.

Besides what I've listed, I also have the following PCs;

  • 1U Server

I use these for one-off testing, and projects, but they are not permanent fixtures in my day-to-day life.
