My current setup right now is a 13 inch white Macbook (with 2 gigabytes of RAM). This is the computer which I do my day-to-day browsing on the web. It is extremely portable, and for what I’m using it for, the Macbook Pro, wouldn’t benefit me at all.
Sitting beside that is my 19 inch Dell monitor, which I basically use for reading blogs. I have rotated it 90 degrees, so I get extra screen real estate. I rotate it back to normal when I game. Lately I have been playing some old Warcraft (online).
Hooked up to that monitor is a Dell XPS (XP installed), with some pretty good specs. (I think the WSJ reported that they killed the XPS, oh well)
Also connected to that monitor is a old PC which I found lying around in my basement. I added a bit of RAM and new graphics card to it. I then installed the latest release of Ubuntu (Hardy Haron). The fan is really loud, so at night, I just shut it down. I find the UI to be very well done, the simplicity and ease of use is just mind blowing. I would have to say that it is better than XP but not quite as good as a Leopard.
Overall, I think my setup is complete. Although I was thinking of getting a Mac Mini, which I would watch (and store) my music and movies. Yes, I know, a lot of computers!
