More and more a laptop (MacBook) and iPhone person. The iPhone gets a lot of my browsing done - at least a couple hours every day. I didn't think it would take much time away from the laptop, but it has. And I'm absolutely getting the new one in a couple of weeks.

I keep a Linux desktop around, as well. I like the power and convenience, not to mention the 20" screen. 1600x1200 is hugely helpful for working with photos.

Mac Mini, plus 22" el-cheapo acer monitor. This does 90% of my computing.

Old-school dell laptop, (inspiron 2200), which does all of those pesky windows things that I can't live without. (I am NOT putting windows on my mac, not now, not never).

Home is pc, Business, music and pics with two laptops. Sony pc & laptop and Dell laptop. Sony laptop with docking station for media hub. All my browsing and music is done on the Sony laptop.

If laptop users are looking for a stand in the living/entertainment room, I've found this to be pretty handy. Laptop Computer Desks & Stands by Air Desk
