This page lists everything I’m currently using to get my work done.

After years of working just on laptops I built myself a new Desktop some years ago. I am working on graphics- and GPGPU-related stuff so its quite important for me to have a machine capable of doing computation-intensive tasks. I also have some portable machines as I like to switch between operating systems.
