I juggle between 3 systems:

An ancient Mac Mini (2011, i5, 8GB RAM, spinning disk) for iOS dev. Use Xcode for iOS dev and VSCode for other stuff.

A Surface Pro 3 (i3, 4GB RAM) for casual stuff and work on the move. Also used it extensively for a web dev project recently. Use VSCode, WSL, HeidiSQL, WinSCP, Source Tree.

Loved using the Surface Pen with OneNote for all my note taking and planning. Also used Sticky Notes, Bamboo Paper and Nebo. Until I lost my stylus and the screen stopped working abruptly :/

Also built a custom PC at home (i7, 16GB RAM, SSD) and use it for my experiments with Docker, Unity, Xamarin etc.
