A entry-level mid-2012 Apple laptop.
Great keyboard, easy to repair, good ports; an all-around winner since it has been upgraded and can be upgraded further, including the OS.

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.
This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn’t replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.
It’s really stupid that it doesn’t have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.

Call tips
This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.
