Desktop PC - General browsing and light gaming.

Monitors 3 x 27" Acer IPS 2k monitors 3 x 27" LG IPS 4k monitors Protip: A 27" 4k monitors is a waste of a 4k monitor. Text is waaaay too small for coding at that resolution. Everything else has…
I have a few old laptops of various makes, a g3 iMac (graphite), a really old windows desktop that I'll never use, and a stack of raspberry pis.

That’s literally it at home. Have an old dell t3500 at work with a newer gpu and ssd to get work done including stats and embedded dev, but that’s it.
Minimalism is where it’s at.
40 are vintage, all but two produced before 1990 (mostly Commodore Amigas (A500, A3000, A1200), 8-bits (VIC-20, C64, C128), Atari 8-bits (400, 800, 800XL, 130XE), Apple IIgs, Apple IIe Enhanced, Sony MSX 2+, Amstrad CPC 6128 Plus, Tandy TRS-80 Model 4, Tandy Color Computer 3, 11 Apple Macs (iMac G3, LC475, IIfx, Mac Plus, Mac Classic, Mac Color Classic, LC3, LC575, Centris 650, Power Mac 7200, Power Mac G3), Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128, Acorn BBC Master 128, Tandy 1000HX, Timex-Sinclair 1000, TI-99/4a, and more). That's all I can remember right now.
- Windows gaming desktop (store-bought because my tools and parts were stored out of state)
- Windows laptop for girlfriend’s remote class (barely runs Zoom but desktop has no webcam)
Been thinking of building a new gaming/Plex? rig if everything is back in stock.
Oh, cnc router, 3d printer. Smart TV.
That's just me, not my whole household.
1x 13" M1 MBP with 16GB/1TB best device I've ever owned. I do everything on this from dev work, to browsing, photo editing, fiddling around in Logic Pro, and even some light gaming. And I can do all of that (probably at the same time) while running on battery, for hours on end.
1x Windows "gaming" desktop I built a few months ago. i5/16GB/6700XT/2TB NVMe/8TB rust. It's ok, I thought I'd use it a lot more than I do and I'm DEFINITELY not getting my money's worth out of the 6700XT playing HOI and Factorio.
1x Ex-business Optiplex micro, i5/16gb/512SSD + 2x 4TB USB disks running Ubuntu. This is my main linux machine that doubles as a light home server running Plex and a few other little things.
1x iPad mini from last year, mostly just for reading and media. I do use my knockoff Apple Pencil to jot down some notes as well. Also makes a neat little secondary display for the MBP if I'm away from my desk and want some more screen.
1x Heavily refurbished Thinkpad T470 running Arch (btw) i7/16GB/256GB. Barely gets used despite the amount of work I put into refurbishing it. The poor old i7 (dual core version) really struggles with some stuff, even basic things like Youtube over 1080p nearly kills it.
I feel like I've hit a good equilibrium of devices, I can fit it all onto one desk with a USB-C monitor and a keyboard/mouse that I can switch between devices (including my work laptop). Nothing other than ye olde Thinkpad ever goes unused for more than a day or two at most, and everything except the gaming PC was all purchased refurbished or secondhand.
Media stuff;
1x Apple TV 4K which is currently in direct competition with a Fire TV 4k that I got for free. I'm trying to work out which I should keep, the Fire TV does almost everything the ATV does but the remote is just... awful - so cheap and nasty feeling.
1x Lobotomised Sony "Smart" TV. After the first year of owning it, it started lagging when switching inputs, navigating menus etc. I popped the back off and yanked the wire antennas for its wifi radio and now it performs twice as fast.
