How many Mac's do you own?

MBP late 2011 17"
MBA late 2010 13"

Used to have 2 iPhone SE

Still have one iPhone 4, but the battery/charge circuit is dead.
 
I finally decided to get rid of my grayscale 5300. Now I'm down to:
My Early 2011 13" MBP
My wife's 2010 13" MBP.
A boatload of iPads, iPhones, Apple Watches, iPods, etc.
 
MBP 13" Mid-2012 (main machine, specs in signature)
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0ghz (currently unused)
Mac mini Mid-2007 (soon to be a server running linux)
iMac G3 1998 Rev. B (currently unused)

past Mac's I've owned:
MBP 15" Late 2011 (gave away to friend I'm now in a fight with, big regrets there)
PowerMac G4 Quicksilver Dual 1.0ghz (died and donated to an Apple Museum)
PowerMac G3 (died and donated to the same museum)
MacBook Late 2006 (sold)
MacBook Early 2009 (sold)
 
I tried working on 2 machines before and I found it never worked. So I have precisely one mac: a late 2013 13" 8/256 MBP.
For on the road, I use an iPad Pro 11".
I have two extra PCs in the house: my wife's laptop and a self-built HTPC that I used to use as my main PC. I also have a server and another desktop that I don't use. Still struggling to choose what exactly I'll do with the latter three. Ideally, I'd like to have some sort of shared storage, but the main PC is built in an enclosure that is too tight to fit in what I need and to run it with ProxMox. So maybe I'll get a simple barebones to replace both unused server and desktop, or I may get something bigger and ProxMox it into server+Hackintosh :)
 
- 2019 27" iMac with the 3.7Ghz i5

- 2019 15" MBP from work

Traded in my 2016 13" mbp no touchbar earlier this year for a thinkbook running fedora 31. I prefer to do all of my personal computing on the desktop these days, but being a student requires the laptop. Use case for personal machines is mostly learning software development / comp sci student. There is also a gaming PC under my desk, and as mentioned in other threads, I am having a hard time consolidating to one desktop. Hackintoshes seem more and more attractive everyday.
 
2011 13” MBP i5 16/250ssd
2013 13” MBA i5 4/128
2019 16” MBP i9 32/1tb

just gave the 2011 MBP to a family member, working great still on high Sierra with the SSD and ram upgrades. I don’t want to let go of the air because it’s just such a sturdy and lightweight and portable computer, a perfect travel computer. I actually won it in a raffle. I’ll keep the air until it dies. The new MBP is pretty sweet so far.
 
2019 16" MacBook Pro 1TB
2020 13" MacBook Pro 512

Do I need both? No, Do I love both? YES!
 
I have

Early 2009 Mac Mini with CTO RAM upgrade to 4GB
Late 2009 Mac Mini 4GB RAM
2011 Mini Server
15" Mid-2014 rMBP

At work, I have

4 x 21.5" mid-2011 iMacs with stock config except for RAM upgrades to double the RAM in each machine.

My oldest mac is a SE that sits on a shelf next to my Newton. Then I have

4 mac minis - 1 ESXi box, 1 Plex server, 1 Dev box and 1 remote that I sync stuff too.
1 24" iMac in the family room
1 Trashcan - running ESXi and stuff
3 notebooks - 1 11" air, I love that box and wish they had a decent upgrade, 1 2012 MBP that I just replaced the expanded battery/touchpad on, 1 MBP 16 that is my travel system if we ever travel again

I also have the first iphone as well as my current one.

Yes I have issues.
 
As others have stated..."too many". From oldest:
All refurbs except the Black Macbook. Happy with all of them...currently
no desire for anything else. No new purchases until specific need(s) arise
and will wait a gen or two before considering the M1's.

2008 Macbook (black) - 2.4 / 4GB ram
2010 Mac Pro - 3.33 / 256 SSD OSX / 12GB HD storage / 48GB ram
2012 Mac Mini - 2.3 i7 / 1TB SSD / 16GB ram
2015 MacBook Air (11 inch) - 2.2 i7 / 500GB SSD / 8GB ram
2015 MacBook Pro (13 inch) - 2.9 i5 / 500GB SSD / 16GB ram
2015 MacBook Pro (15 inch) - 3.5 i7 / 500GB SSD / 16GB ram
2019 iMac (27 inch) - 3.7 i5 / 1T SSD / 48GB ram / Radeon Pro Vega 48

various iPads and iPods - 2020 iPhone SE
 
2013 13” MBP (i5, 8GB, 512GB)
2019 13” MBP (i5, 16GB, 512GB)
2020 13” MBP (i7, 32GB, 1TB + eGPU)
2020 M1 Mac mini (16GB, 1TB)

lots of other apple stuff (4 homepods, 2020 iPad Pro 12.9”, iPads, iPhones, air pods pro, apple watches, etc.)

This is the first time in 10+ years that I don’t have an iMac, as I can’t quite justify the space it takes up next to my 32” monitor (Dell U3219Q).
 
Not as many as when I was working in IT. Am retired now.

1) My home server is a 2012 low end MacMini running Yosemite and OSX Server.
2) My main driver is a 2015 13" MacBook Air. I just upgraded the SSD with a Sintech short adapter and a 1 TB WD Blue SN550. Reads are as fast as the old Apple drive, writes are about 30% faster. Battery life is the same as is temperature - no hibernation crashes.
3) My "old" back-up, that I'm selling, 'cause it's become too small for my tired old eyes, is a 2014 11" MacBook Air.
4) I just bought a beautiful 2010 white unibody MacBook with all ports working, great screen and I upped the RAM to 16GB and threw in a 500GB Crucial MX500 SATA SSD. Running Mojave thanks to the Dosdude1 Mojave patch. It's my "backup computer" now, replacing the 11" above.
5) My wife uses and loves her 2012 13" MacBook Pro unibody - her 500GB Samsung 840 is getting full so will upgrade to a 1 TB Crucial MX500.
6) my dog doesn't have her own computer.

BTW - does anyone know of an enclosure that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and will take a 12-16 pin Apple SSD I switched out of my 13" MacBook Air?

One (Mac Pro 5.1 2012) and that’s one too many. The machine is obsolete, very annoying to work with. It was old already when it was new in 2013.
