Doesn't look much different from the set up the last time I posted, probably, but it's a newer MacBook with a much more powerful processor and better GPU. It is far from the newest, but the newest lacked firewire and an optical drive. Kinda necessary if you want to rip DVDs for older series. It was also very cheap, even with AppleCare, since Apple was trying to get rid of them.
It currently has a 64GB SSD in it, but I may move that up to 128 or 256. Storage is aided by a 1TB Apple AirPort Time Capsule, which can be run both over Wi-Fi or ethernet, and ethernet makes it blazing fast for editing. Wi-Fi, uh, not so much. It also can daisy chain, so I have my 1TB of ripped Anime in the black enclosure. Rounded out by the Apple bluetooth keyboard (remapped to Japanese), and a Magic Mouse. Mobile technology includes the iPhone 5C I will soon be giving away for a birthday present (Jailbroken, soon to be unlocked), my iPhone 6S running KODI (formerly XBMC) for AMV goodness on the go. Media in the car is handled by a dash-attached iPhone 4.
Mactastic since 2008, and still rolling that way now.
