Slashdot Asks: What's Your Computer Set-Up Look Like?

I thought it'd be fun to ask Slashdot readers one of the same questions we asked Larry Wall: What's your computer set-up look like? Slashdot reader LichtSpektren had asked: Can you give us a glimpse into what your main work computer looks like? What's the hardware and OS, your preferred editor and browser, and any crucial software you want to give a shout-out to?
Larry Wall is running Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition), and he surfs the web with Firefox (and Chrome on his phone) -- "but I'm not a browser wonk. Maybe I'll have more opinions on that after our JS backend is done for Perl 6..." And for a text editor, he's currently ensconced in the vi/vim camp, though "I've used lots of them, so I have no strong religious feelings."

So leave your answers in the comments. What's your OS, hardware, preferred editor, browser, "and any crucial software you want to give a shout-out to?" What does your computer set-up look like?

    An iPad, an iPhone, they are computers. They are mobile computers. Desktop: Mac Mini w/ 2 27 inch thunderbolt displays, Apple TV for collaboration in my office as well. For my laptop, I use a 2012 rMBP with 16GB ram, 768GB disks. Served me for 4 years and it's still going strong. I use Safari for personal browsing since it integrates with my key chain, and chrome for developing.

    You're a one-man Apple Pride parade.
