For me, it's more of an environment. I have a self-hosted windows domain with the key features being [1] an exchange server and [2] re-directed folders with offline folders on certain devices.
When I am in the house I am using a self assembled desktop computer (seven years old) running Win10. This is for when I am sitting down doing 'serious' work or play. A Dell laptop that comes out of the house with me, primarily for work, running Win10. A Surface that goes with me on the sofa, holidays, trips to the in-laws etc. My iPhone for all other times. The iPhone also connects to Exchange for email, contacts, tasks, notes &c. using RPC over HTTP. (I like demonstrating logging in to my OWA instance via a work computer, changing a contacts details and then moments later seeing it updated on my iPhone and vice versa). The ability to have a synchronised 'my documents' and Exchange environment is for me the key. The device is then contextual to where I am. The fact that I am doing it in an environment I host, configure and maintain is quite satisfying. And devices can be replaced when necessary without causing me much inconvenience - such as when my three year old cracked the screen on my surface last year.

As in, what do you spend the most time doing serious work/play on? For any definition of 'work' or 'play' that appeals to you? For me, it is still an assembled desktop computer running Windows. Notwithstanding the existence in the house of 3 laptops, sundry tablets, and many, MANY phones.
