We have an intern that would prefer to use his iPad2 but I personally wouldn’t want to use touch interface.
I use Illustrator and Rhino
Won’t be back at work for 2 weeks, so cannot go into great detail on the desktops. But basically awesome graphics cards in windows devices.
For mobile… the only way I see myself having files on a mobile which I can send to the forge would be if I can simply select an image from the web and toss it over for engraving (would be awesome… but sounds infeasible), or if I open from email attachment.
For the mobile devices, iPhone and iPad.

Hardware:
Lenovo Thinkstation Desktop running windows 7 pro with intel i7-4790 3.6 GHz 32 G RAM
Lenovo laptop with windows ten. (i’ll edit the specs when I get back to it)
And as for touch, the only one I’ve been impressed with at all is my Samsung Galaxy s5… i might do some basic prints from here, but I like using the big guns for any real work
Software: AutoCAD, Sketchup, Vectorworks(a little), Microstation (a little), Inkscape, and probably some i haven’t discovered yet 
My main PC is:
Win7 Pro
6 core i7. 32GB RAM
1.5 TB SSD
I have a Lenovo Yoga 1, i5 running Windows 8.1 I use as a media player and for typing away from the house.
I have several other PCs.
An Android phone and access to a bunch of higher-end Android tablets running KitKat to Marshmallow
Software:
inkscape and openscad plus who knows?
I figure my design work will be on the main PC. As it is not near where the glowforge will live, and depending on the glowforge interface, I may mount an Android tablet (probably an NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1) next to the glowforge as its UX platform.
Yes, I have seen that. Thanks for pointing it out, though, I’m sure there are folks who would take advantage of that. I’m pretty casual and infrequent. If you are going to use a software regularly, it makes sense; but not for my habits. As I said, though, a GlowForge will likely change some things.
I don’t love the subscription model. As a student I got CS1 for around $100 and I used it until forced obsolescence pushed me off of my G5 - I think it was a Flash update that broke youtube and the bank website and several other things. No more CS1. I got a lot of months (years) and a lot of programs out of my $100.
Luckily, though, freeware and shareware have come a long way.

I’ll start with my Microsoft Surface 3 Pro (i7) running Windows 8.1. I currently use my MS Surface 3 (not Pro but still a 64-bit using the Intel Atom chipset) with my K40. It’s running Windows 10. I might use that with the GF as well. I also have a small Dell Venue 8 running Windows 10 as well as a MacAir 13" (running Windows 7 - I wanted a travel netbook before Windows netbooks were really that thin, light or good so I just scrapped the OSX install and loaded Windows on it). All of the Windows machines are touchscreen (except the MacAir). If you’re thinking of a tablet based app - I’d love one for Android. I have everything from a 5" Nexus 6P to a 10" Samsung Galaxy running Android that would be really nice to control execution of a job on the GF. I’d still likely use the laptops (with extra monitors) to do any complex design work but the Android devices would be good for running the machine.
For software I use 123D Make, Fusion 360, Inkscape & Sketchup (as well as Rhino but that’s likely overkill for this) for other stuff so one or more will become the one(s) used for the GF.
Hardware:
HP Z400 workstation running Win 7 (possibly Win10) with NVidia Quadro 600 video card, 12 GB RAM, Xenon 3 GHZ CPU

Software:
GeoMagic Design (3D CAD) with DXF export
Onshape (cloud-based 3D CAD) with DXF export
MS Visio for line art
Gearotic
I’m competent with the above and have just downloaded Inkscape in anticipation of needing that for the GF, but would really prefer to use the above for my projects. I also use SprutCAM (from Russia) for CNC work and I believe that has a configuration for lasercutting though it seems like that would not be needed or even useful with the GF. 123D Make might be useful and I’ll learn that if the need arises.
Software: Fusion 360
Hardware:
Custom Windows10/7 64bit
12gb ram i7 3.something
Laptop Alienware m11x windows 7 64bit 4gb ram, 1.4ghz i5
Want to buy an iPad mini or pro… (Pretty exclusively for glowforge)
At the school I work at we use ipad minis 1st gen) and also samsung 1st gem chromrbooks
Software:
Inkscape, gimp, fireworks, photoshop
Will try illustrator, sketchup and pretty much everything else(looking forward to auto desk and adobe widgets)
Using an iMac 27" running Yosemite
and a iPad Air 2 along with my iPhone
Running Parallels and Windows 7 for SolidWorks
Also work with 123D and Ilustrator on the Mac
Tested FreeCad also on the Mac
Phew. First off I don’t know where to begin. I have two computers in my studio space running every type of software available (as far as I know). A couple non-touch dell vostro (windows 10) with 27" syncmasters and graphic tablets (wacom intuos large). A 15.6 del inspiring touch screen laptop (2014 model). Another mini pc with multiple 24" monitors in the office. A surface pro touch and pressure sensitive pen. It’s new and probably my least favorite. A gaggle of Google Android phones (note 4 s and s5’s). A plethora of android tablets going way back into 2011.
Yes, someone needs to have a garage sale. Don’t make me think of it. I just got my elite status summary from best buy. My eyes just about popped out of my head. I really should be kept on that list for another decade just from the last 12 months. Yikes.
Regardless, you build it, I have something to test it on. I have used the lawnmower to design so bring it. The only tech I don’t use is apple products to the great chagrin of my fellow photogs.
I have a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. I don’t know the specs. Many of the components are upgraded. I’d like to be able to use an iPad2 and iPhone5. Also, ease of use with DropBox would be wonderful.
Yes, and Fusion 360 is $40/mo I think. I’m going to try and get by with Inkscape. The overhead on PS and AI for a year would be enough to buy a spare laser tube!

Software
Adobe CC suite, also I am learning 123DMake at the moment
I mainly use an AMD PC running Windows 10. We also have a couple of MACs floating around, an older iMac and a couple of MacBook Pros. I’m sorry, but I don’t know the specs or OSs on those. The iMac is probably seven or eight years old. I also have an iPad Mini and my wife has an iPad Mini 2 or 3, and we both run iPhone, I’m on 6 and she’s on 5S.
For Software we have full Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, I have downloaded and installed but not used 123DMake, and Sketchup. I mostly work in AutoCAD and my wife will likely work in Photoshop or Illustrator.
