Currently on a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro 2.6Ghz i7 with 16GB RAM, and 2 thunderbolt mirrors... I mean displays ;)
I run OSX for my day-to-day dev work, but am noticing I'm drawn more and more towards tiling window managers (like i3), so I'm exploring options to switch back to Ubuntu (which I used on my Dell laptop before I got the MBP).
The previous gen rMBP is hands down the best laptop I've ever owned. I haven't used the new 2016 model yet.
At my office we use the (ridiculously cheap) iiyama prolite x4071 40" 4K displays, which I absolutely fell in love with. Once you go 4k, everything else feels like a step back. I'll probably upgrade my setup somewhere in near future to a high end laptop + 2x 32" 4K displays. 32" because 2x40" is too big (you'll need to turn your head constantly) and 'high end laptop' because I'm not quite sure about the new MBP.
My 2 cents: Invest in a high end laptop and an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, instead of a desktop. That way you'll have an ergonomic setup at your office/house but still be able to carry your work anywhere you want.
