current:
Oneplus One - my phone
Lenovo Yoga pro - I rarely use my laptop
custom desktop - what I use at home

ideal:
The only thing Im missing really is an android tablet. I want to be able to use my phone when I'm away from home, but it would be nice to have an Android device with a larger screen when I'm at home.

My signature is my setup. I'm taking my MBA on the road for my travels moving forward. I will figure out if I miss my old iPad or not in these situations.

The only thing 'missing' is a hypothetical Apple Watch that does more than what the current first-gen offers. Ideally I'd like an Apple Watch that will allow me to leave my iPhone at home entirely for certain situations. (Cell service, call forwarding, etc.) And have the ability to reply to messages and emails beyond canned responses and voice dictation.

Have:
Nokia 1520
Surface Pro 3
Lenovo Yoga 3
Multiple desktops
Xbox One
Microsoft Band


Ideal:
Phone-Windows Phone 10 w\ killer flagship specs.
Surface Pro 4 for travel and media
Keep Yoga 3 unless battery cab be improved by at least 30%
No change to desktops except Windows 10
Xbox One

I'm probably the only Windows fan left around here..

Nah, not the only one.

Current:
Phone: Lumia 830
Tablet: LG G Pad 7 (a gift, it's not bad, but even on 4.4.2 it's not as nearly as smooth as my phone with the same CPU and RAM, and I keep having app crashing issues with chrome and firefox.)
Laptop: Lenovo Y500
Desktop: DIY i5-2500 @4.4; GTX460 (I don't game anymore); 16GB RAM, dual 256GB SSD, 2TB rust drive.

Ideal (looking forward to next year):
Phone: A solid L920/L1020 update; hopefully next year with the SD820, 2GB RAM, and a good PureView camera again.
Tablet: Surface 4 - the Surface 3 is almost hitting all the right points, but hopefully next year they add USB C support.
Laptop: Y500 is still solid - would like to update to a 1TB SSD instead of the rust drive as that's the only bottleneck in the system.
Desktop: Probably won't touch anything til something dies, been a reliable beast of a workstation for years now.
