    Just wondering what people have; I have :

    MacBook Pro paid for by my research grant, used in college for PhD Stuff.

    Cheap Toshiba Laptop - Just for messing around on the internet and personal stuff

    Netbook - Was a free prize for my Undergrad thesis

    Desktop brought from my boyfriend - Kinda old but just upgraded, saving up for a better CPU used for games with new GPU it can run Half Life 2 maxed out at 30fps etc.

    I have a professional computer (which was a loner from my cousin who crashed mine) and a DELL 2003 monitor. I've had my share of technical problems, so as long as it works, I'm fine with it. Only stupid part is that I can't update iTunes because my cousin has administrator privileges.

    My main computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, which has a Core i7, 8GB of RAM, a 15.6" 1080p screen, and a 256GB Samsung SSD. Needs a new internal keyboard at the moment, so it's currently working as a desktop with two 23" Dell 1080p IPS monitors, a crappy Microsoft mouse, and my pride and joy, an IBM Model M keyboard - vintage 1988.

    I have a rubbish HP laptop. I was going to buy a really expensive apple/high-tech/gaming laptop but I just don't want to spend like £1000 on it lol. I might buy an expensive one sooner or later :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

    You think that's old? I've still got a T61p - core 2 duo T7700. 3GB ram and 160GB HDD!

    Needless to say, it's not exactly spritely these days... :bang:

    Although I recently replaced it as my main laptop with a T420. The only reason I still use it is the lovely 1920x1200 screen

    Well right now I'm typing from my HP Envy laptop. I mostly use it for college but I'm really sick right now so I'm on here in bed.

    Aside from that I currently own my desktop computer, which is due for replacement, and my old Acer netbook which this laptop replaced. I guess my LG Optimus F3 smartphone could almost count as a computer too...

    Aside from that I have various video game consoles/handhelds that will browse the web too.

    I am typing from a Compaq Mini 110c with Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I have:

    The aforementioned Compaq Mini 110c - Windows 8.1 Pro
    Dell OptiPlex 740 - Windows Vista Buisiness
    Dell OptiPlex 740 - Windows XP Professional
    Dell OptiPlex something - Windows XP Pro
    Dell OptiPlex something else - Windows XP Pro
    Toshiba Satellite C55 - Windows 8.1 Home
    Homemade PC - Windows XP Pro
    Compaq Armada 1750 - Windows 95
    IBM Thinkpad R40e - Windows XP Pro
    Gateway 400VTX - Windows Vista Buisiness, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
    Dell Dimension 2500 - Windows XP Home

    What do you think? Is this too many, or (considering that most of them are crap) not enough?
