MacBook Air M2 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD. macOS Sequoia 15.5.. Slowly taking over duties from my HP workstation (ALL Fusion and video editing work happening here now :-O )
HP Z440 Workstation 64GB RAM, 20 Core Intel Xeon e5 v3, nVidia RTX 3060 4GB, 1TB SSD, 2TB SSD. Windows 10 22H2. This is where the very limited gaming takes place (mostly WoW), and hosts my Plex library.
MOLTEN-SW486 Recently built out a case from a electrical junction box and a open air chassis. Has a IBM Blue Lightning motherboard and 486SLC running at 75 MHz. 24MB RAM, 1MB Trident TVGA 8900 VLB ISA card, 10MB AOpen ISA Ethernet, Serial to USB mouse adapter from Versalent. Boots from an IDE to SD card adapter, 1GB card with a 512MB DOS/WIN95 partition. Soundblaster 16 PnP with the IDE-DVD drive connected to it. Two videos on youtube about building the machine.

PowerMac G3 B&W 512MB RAM, 400 MHz G3, 20GB CF Card, Mac OS 8.6. Also participating in #GlobalTalk in the "Molten Software" zone (G3 Share). Connected through the SE's Ethernet connection funny enough.
IBM ThinkPad T23 512MB RAM, 1.13GHz Mobile Pentium 3, 2GB CF card, Windows XP original version pre-sp1. I need to find a bigger CF card, I have one somewhere.. or just buy an M.2 IDE adapter...
In storage or not in use often  
MacBook Pro 2016 6GB RAM, Intel Core2Duo 2.4GHz, 120GB SSD, Mac OS Mojave. Battery still holds a charge believe it or not. 
MacBook 2008 (white) 4GB RAM, Intel Core2Duo 2.0GHz, 80GB HDD, Mac OS Lion.
iMac G3 Indigo 256MB RAM, 350 MHz G3, 80GB HDD, Mac OS 9.2.2 & OSX 10.3
Lenovo Thinkpad X395 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD. Running Ubuntu 24.04. Bought in 2019 before having a job where we primarily use similar devices.
Generic beige box Pentium III 512MB RAM, 800 MHz PIII Slot3, 64GB "SSD" CF Card, nVidia GeForce4 MX440, Windows 98 SE. This one's a weird one. Didn't have heat sink on the CPU when I was putting together random scrap. Has a GeForce GT 610's heatsink and fan on it, held on with razor blades to provide enough tension.
Lenovo Thinkpad X13 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD. Windows 11, also saved from eWaste pile. Literally was only missing the 'M' key.
Mac Mini Intel 2006 4GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Core2Duo Swap, 250GB SSD, OSX Snow Leopard
PowerBook G3 Pismo 128MB RAM, 400 MHz G3, 20GB "SSD" CF Card, OSX 10.4.11 & OS 9.2.2, got this from scrap in college. My wife wanted one forever because it's Carrie's laptop in "Sex and the City."
Lenovo Thinkpad L440 4GB RAM, 1.8 GHz Core i5, needs storage device
PowerMac G4 Sawtooth motherboard 512MB RAM, 450 MHz G4, was going to swap into the G3 B&W, doesn't boot with the G3's PSU
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD. Windows 10, saved from eWaste pile at work.
Microsoft Surface 3 (not pro) 10" 2GB RAM, 64GB SSD, 64GB SD. I think it's a 2GHZ intel Atom. Running tiny10, pretty quick little tablet, works great for browsing the web and taking notes still. Also renders 4K video nicely with the limited resources.
