How many computers do you have?

Tech Talk Hardware
22

Late to this one, as the poll shoulda been way up top. Anyway:

How many CPUs do you use at least once a week.
Treat 20 as 20+.
(Count desktops, laptops, work desktops and laptops, cell phones, game consoles, tablets, raspberry pi or alike if you use it as a computer and not as an embedded device)
(Count your digital watch if it is completely independent of the phone)
(Count a server or NAS if you own it, but not if someone else does.)
(Do not count your fridge, car, microwave, home assistant or other embedded device.)

I’m sure you mean 256GB SSD rather than 265TB. That would be rather costly…

Same setup I have more or less. T420 - Dell Server? Odd. I do as well.

For my use, I have a Dell XPS 8930 (or something like that) that I bought last December, and a MacBook Pro from 2015. For work, I have a Latitude 3390. I have a USB dock for that, with a KVM so I can share the nice big 32" monitor, keyboard, and mouse between the two machines. I also have an old Mac Mini (maybe 2011 or 2012) that is now running Ubuntu.
My wife has a Dell all in one that is a few years old, plus my old Macbook Pro.
Not to mention the iPad mini, a Samsung Tab, a Pixel, a Pixel 2 (both probably to be replaced with Pixel 4s) and miscellaneous “stuff”.
If I need to lab anything, I just spin up something in AWS or Azure (though for personal I might try Digital Ocean).

In terms of desktops / laptops:
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
Mac mini (2018)
A dedicated gaming rig running older hardware (Intel Core i7-4790)

Phone: Google Pixel 3 XL

I’ve got about ~24U worth of servers (from Atoms to Xeons), but most of these are lab boxes so they’re off unless I’m actively working on them.

Might as well throw some of my networking hardware too.

EdgeRouter Infinity
EdgeRouter 4
EdgeRouter Pro 8
Edgeswitch 16 XG (2 x)
Edgeswitch 48 - 500w
Edgeswitch 48 (lite)
Edgeswitch 16 150w

I’ll let you know when it comes in ;). I’m hoping my overseas location doesn’t delay it past the 22nd (the release date).

But I plan on posting some pics and some initial thoughts when I get it, you are not the first person to ask!

Too many. An iMac and a 15 inch MBP in daily use but a MacBook Air for travel and a Mac mini because why not? An Ubuntu laptop and then the 13 inch MBP for work.

What’s a computer?
I have a bunch of Apple devices. MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Apple watch… Oh, and that Dell Windows laptop for work. All do some computing.
