I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Custom desktop PC build: 5800X, 4070 Super, 32GB of RAM.
Also have a laptop, dunno the CPU and the GPU is a GTX 1060, but I barely use it nowadays. Oh, and a Steam Deck if that counts lol.
Finally I also have Macbook Pro but it's for work and it's owned by the company. Runs nicely, and the trackpad is the best I've ever used.

Mac mini M4, base model. Paid $500 for it in December when it became clear that waiting for the next chip revision would be unwise given hardware costs lately. It was already an amazing value when it debuted at $600, even more so now. Apple hasn't updated the Apple TV in awhile so I pretty much replaced it with the mini for the living room. Works amazing as a HTPC.

HP Envy 14" Laptop
16GB Ram, i5 11th, GTX 1650, WUXGA.
I'm pleasantly surprised when things run decently on it, but it's fine for all of my PC backlog.

I'm actually quite surprised how powerful the MacBook M3 is. I can play relatively newer games on Steam.
My main rig is AMD build: Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, Radeon RX 6800XT, and 32 GB DDR5 RAM.

new desktop I put together last year. was lucky to get all the parts before the price hike.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
64GB DDR5 RAM
RTX5090FE
1TB and 4TB M.2 NVMe
Samsung 49" OLED Odyssey G9 (was using the LED Odyssey of the same size before but was able to pick up an refurbished OLED of the same size for a decent price).
it was mainly due to a chance to grab the 5090FE at MSRP that kinda put me on the path of building this. otherwise I probably won't be putting a new machine together for a while.

I never thought I'd be typing this, but I'm considering switching to a Mac.
I have a fancy two screen Windows laptop. The two screens are great, but the battery life (even using only one screen) is poor. Then there's the random stuttering. It'll be fine for a few days, then suddenly become a lag fest.
Then there's the folder Windows refuses to add any new files to. If you call it something else, it's fine, just that one set of characters.
OneDrive is a mess integration wise. Files will be saved online only by default despite that not being enabled. Disabling OneDrive is the only way to prevent this.
And then the rare but random wake from sleep and failure to return to it. Opening a bag to find a hot, dead laptop is a joy.

Main is MacBook Pro M4. It's a beast and by far the best computer I have used.
Gaming PC is Ryzen 7 9700X, RTX 5070, 32GB RAM and plays games well. I have the same work PC except the 5070 is replaced with a RX 580. It's trash honestly and only using it for 3 pieces of software or I would be using my MacBook. Coworker emulates it on his and other than one small bug he's loving it.

MSI 17" laptop with a 4070 gpu. Almost 3 years and going strong. Zero issues so far (knock on wood).
I find that all my past Dell general purpose laptops would start to fuck up by now with a cracked bezel, or keys that dont work, or the OS starts messing up like I'm streaming something for 1-2 hours straight like a sports event it always crashes with a BIOS error. Reboot and fine. It'd never get a BIOS error just surfing the net or using MS Office for hours.
I guess I got a good deal too because about a year later, the price of it actually held up the same. Must had been the start of all the PC part prices going up.

How many times I had the "okay I'll work in the train on my laptop" just to find it to be impossible to wake up despite being unplugged the night before after charging all day
1 time actually, but it's still too much

...are those all previous laptops, or do you have 15 around that you use regularly?
Either way, props on the Thinkpad love.

Just bought a 14" M5 Macbook Pro
I also have a desktop PC that is a 5800X3D with 3080 12GB but I really only use it for strategy games. I'm thinking of getting rid of it and replacing it with another laptop, but the prices have like, doubled in the past month.

That happened to me just last week.
Thankfully, it had managed to go into sleep, but only after getting very toasty and losing about 30% battery. It meant instead of just getting on when I got to work, I had to plug it in and was tied to my desk for an hour. Joy.

This old junk (my hobby build using old parts that I already had + some extra gimmicks) - as I was shocked by how expensive it's got to build a new pc these days, motivated me to reuse something I have and don't use into something I love to use. 
Custom modified face panel for small sub monitor FLP02 case and painted beige bezel dvd drive. (With water slide decals)…. Too bad I couldn't find the exact matching beige color to the case.
Old x79 board with i73930k at 4.3ghz, 32gb of DDR3, nvme modded for OS, and RX6600 GPU. Running Nobara Linux.
It was like this - I like the fake FDD cover, but also wanted to make use of the space with something useful.
So I made the front bezel opening with plastic plates that so used to use to mod Gunpla. Painted black DVD bezel with beige, and applied water slide decals. Sega because I am Sega fanboy, Intel inside because it has intel cpu, and Fujitsu FM Towns as it was waaaaay too expensive back then for me to even dream.
And paired with Sony Multiscan G200 17" crt monitor. 1024x728 at 120hz..
Also added 640x480 at 120hz, and 2560x240 at 120hz to emulate more authentic look.
Built for 240p and 480p retro gaming, as well as old dvds and 4:3 media like 80-90s Anime - but honestly it holds its ground pretty well with few modern games that I tested.
At 1024x768 - RE 2 remake, re3 remake, Re 7, 8 all hold near 120fps+ at high settings (no RT) and texture quality fit within 8GB VRam. No FSR either. But small text is little hard to read. Sucks that many modern games entirely skip 4:3 Ratio…
. There are mods for that, but would have been nice.
My real workstation is something more modern, of course..

I have a retro PC build (using a T610 thin client as its base; has roughly early-2000s era power with perfect glide compat for 3d games, runs true win 98, dual boot linux and dosbox environments) with a massive CRT, will have to show sometime. Your Bose probably sounds way better, but on mine I found 90s old school PC L/R speakers for the nostalgia.

Dude with all AMD components on your desktop, SteamOS would run like a dream and you can dump Windows.

Non-gaming: M4 MacBook Pro (I think it has 48GB RAM and a 1TB SSD)
Gaming: Lenovo laptop, whatever the highest end one I could buy a year ago lol. It's Intel / nVidia so I think that's i9-14900 and a 4090m
