Too many, I used to have quite a bit but lately I've enjoyed downsizing, soon I'll just have a Macbook and iPhone.
I'm not the biggest fan of the Apple ecosystem, but for the upfront purchase price, 3-5 years of life and able to sell them for 50% at the end of their "retail" lifespan, is a no brainer for me. The other alternative would be Thinkpads, but the nicer equipped ones really are marginally cheaper than a equally equipped macbook, before the M1 stuff.
If we're not counting virtual machines, then lately just two - a dev windows Laptop that's an XPS 13 and M1 which, with Parallels and Windows 11 (unfortunately not W10) comes pretty close to being what I need.
It used to be a time that I had a server at home that would run an array that'd hold storage and such, but lately it's just easier to have a virtual instance for that.
I have some Pi's also but they're not used really, but really just downsizing and not buying new shiny things, sounds hard, but silly enough it really helps to focus.
It also goes against the grain with me on how I used to enjoy hopping on every different distro and trying new things - Now I just don't have the time and enjoy being clutter free.
Old Cell phones are the worse, they usually aren't worth the resale pain of $30-60, unless you resell them on 1-2yr cycles and 3yrs for iphones.
