At work: slightly old Centrino Duo laptop with I think 2GB ram (due to be upgraded very soon), 1280x800 screen plus 2x 1280x1024 external screens. Runs XP SP2 (SP3 failed to install for some reason, maybe I'll try again in safe mode...).
At home: Athlon II x4 with 8GB ram (I usually seem to use around 4GB of that), SSD (one of the Indilinx Barefoot ones) plus large platter drive, 2x 2048x1180 screens. Runs Debian Testing/Unstable, plus occasional VirtualBox instances.
I also have an almost-netbook running XP SP3, which is too underpowered to do much local development on or watch high-res youtube movies but makes a nice web+ssh terminal for lighter tasks or travel. It's fairly small, and has about 7 hours of battery life (getting decent CPU power with similar size and life would have been way out of my budget, especially since that's what the desktop is for).
