Depends on how much work I have. I use a hackingtosh as my main work machine, so sometimes that is all I use.

But In my everyday I use a Windows PC.

I use a late 2013 Macbook Pro at work and just for general use at home. I prefer OS X to Windows when it comes to using my laptop as a work station. I really only use my desktop when I'm gaming or feel the need to be a little more productive with dual monitors.

I have both a 2010 Macbook Pro and my desktop gaming PC.  I use them about equally, but I've started using the PC more and more because my macbook runs so hot when I do anything other than simple browsing or emails.  I really do need to pop it open and take a look inside.  It has served me well in the past though, and didn't completely flake out like the original 2006 intel MBP it replaced.
