27" iMac
11" Macbook Air
128gb iPad Air 2
32gb iPad Mini 2
128gb iPhone 6
64gb iPad 3
Take my Mini and iPhone on the daily commute so use them at work or on the train.
iPad 3 has been relegated to being a music player/streamer in the bedroom.
iMac is my hub for all music, movies, photos. Macbook is for day to day use at home, web browsing and being a kind of portable version of my iMac. Air 2 is for everything else really plus some gaming, Tapatalk etc.
Probably a bit overkill when some of those devices overlap but I'm not complaining.

PC desktop with 23.5-inch Display
13-inch Macbook Pro with Retina Display
iPad Air 2
iPhone 5s
iPod Nano (6th generation, front glass got cracked but it is still functional, best iPod IMO)
Most of the software I use are with cloud sync, and I would save my not-so-private documents on the cloud. So interoperability is not really an issue for me. I can simply pick what I feel comfortable to complete my immediate task at anytime, eh, if I have the devices nearby.

- iMac (21.5", mid 2011)
- rMBP (13", late 2013)
- iPad Mini
- iPhone 6
iMac works as my main hub for media, storage of larger files and syncing between devices. Also doubles for watching movies in my room. rMBP for schoolwork. iPad Mini mostly for casual browsing, but I sometimes bring it to lectures rather than the rMBP. iPhone for communications, social media, music and games.
Oops, I also have an AppleTV. Rarely gets used though!

This is way more information than anyone needed but oh well…
My Personal Equipment:

128GB iPad Air 2 Space Gray WiFi with Black Apple Smart Case
128GB iPhone 6 Plus Space Gray Verizon with Red Apple Leather Case
Apple TV 3
Devices I use at my day job:
27" iMac 3.4GHz Core i7 16GB RAM 1TB Fusion Drive
16GB iPad Mini (for testing)
8GB iPod Touch (for testing)
Devices that I keep around for the sake of history, admiration, and personal attachment:

Devices I occasionally use and maintain for my wife:
64GB iPad Mini 2 Space Gray Verizon with ClamCase Pro keyboard
16GB iPhone 5 Black Verizon
Decommissioned Dell Inspiron (probably going in the next garage sale)
My upcoming device roadmap:
Swap Retina MacBook Pro for 5K 27" iMac on the Intel Skylake platform
Swap iPad Air 2 for iPad Pro, may wait for iPad Pro 2 since there won't be many professional apps at launch vs. what I have on my iPad Air 2
Might swap iPhone 6 Plus for iPhone 6S (not Plus), undecided
New Apple TV if it has the App Store and/or Siri integration
Undecided on Apple Watch, might wait until second generation

Pen and Paper... never crashes... only problem is it's Write Once Read Many... but I fixed that by upgrading to Pencil, which enabled ReWritable.
