What is currently or in the future your main computer where you do the bulk of your gameplaying, productivity and internet?

That would be my Macbook Pro 13 inch 2.66 bought two weeks ago... The last one fell apart after 3 years of complete abuse (in backpack daily, regular nights in the datacenter, 10+ hours of daily use).

From a Windows PC point of view then it is my 18.4" Quad-core laptop, but from an Amiga point of view then it is my towered A4000 (plenty of room to fiddle around in there).

Even though Im about to buy a PC (thanks all on amiga.org for the advice) My main computer shall and always will be my A1200, so I can't vote on this one as their isn't an option for it... :)

Current...

-a noname desktop PC with AMD Sempron, used pretty much just for printing and storing files.

- a Toshiba laptop, used as my main tool of bringing chaos in my life... btw I'm really disappointed with their driver support policy and this will be my last Toshiba probably.

Future

- x86 Commodore laptop I hope :afro:

current PC is whatever was cheap at Fry's at the time. Some dual core processor, 4 gigs of ram, running Ubuntu 10.4 (Lucid Lynx)
Once this one croaks, the next PC will be.... whatever is cheap at Fry's at the time :)

Been pondering getting a netbook or laptop for basic web stuff but still undecided on the way to go.

Next upgrade for me is AMD six core beast which is for gaming and day to day surfing.  Next purchases for basic use and S&Gs will be EFIKA-MX followed by a SAM.

Currently, I'm still using a AMD Athlon 64 5000+BE (@ 3Ghz) in an AM2+ motherboard. I'm upgrading that soon with a Phenom X3 740.
I also have a G4 Powermac running OSX (awaiting MorphOS 2.6) and a n eMac running MOS 2.5.

What would I like as my main rig? I wish I could say it was an more power ful PPC machine, but that still a hobby. If I had $300, I'd probably by an X6 Phenom.
