What kind of computer do you use?

This topic is a bit similar to Stormy's new computer topic, but not quite. This topic, as the title implies, is about what kind of computer you're using, and its specs. smile

I recently got a new laptop after my Dell Inspiron that I had for three years was having problems not worth fixing. So last month I got a Toshiba Satellite P55t-A5202.
Specs:
OS:Windows 8 (64bit)
Ram: 8GB
Intel core i5
2.30ghz
Touch screen (1920x1080 display)

It's a nice laptop overall, but there are a couple of things I'm not happy with. Last night I noticed a dead pixel on the screen. -__- It isn't so much in the way, just disappointing. The screen will also randomly change from 1920x1080 to the lowest res possible and revert back. Not sure what that is all about.

Since this just reminded me that I have not upgraded my Rig's specs in a while since I sold and replaced my 6870's...

I have three I switch between right now. (I have yet to get rid of any computer I've owned. tongue )

This is my first computer. Bought it over 5 years ago in my last year of high school in preparation for college. It's slow as crap as you can see from the specs, but I'm still using it as a portable internet and IRC machine that I leave on all the time.
Acer Aspire One AOA150
OS: Lubuntu
CPU: Intel Atom N270 (1.60GHz)
Screen Size: 8.9"
Resolution: 1024x600
RAM: 1 GB DDR2 533

I bought this one in 2010. The casing is falling apart because HP sucks, but other than that it still works fine. (Copy-pasted this directly from the confirmation email, ignore the "R"s and "TM"s)
HP Pavilion dv7t Select Edition PC
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-450M Dual Core processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)with Turbo Boost up to 2.66 GHz
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5650 switchable graphics [HDMI, VGA] - For Dual Core Processors
6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)

And finally the desktop I just got last month:
21.5" iMac
Mac OS X Mavericks
2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
1TB (5400-rpm) Hard Drive, 8 GB (Two 4 GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
21.5-inch (Diagonal) LED-backlit Display with IPS Technology; 1920-by-1080 Resolution
