What computer does Steve Jobs use?

If I were the CEO of Apple, I think I'd be using a combination of the iPhone, iPad and either a 13-15" MBP or a 13" MBA for on the go. In the office or home the desktop would likely be a 27" iMac. As CEO, I doubt he'd need the power of a Mac Pro for much. I doubt (with no evidence at all) that he does any or much heavy content creation.
Considering his needs and dislike of optical drive, a 13" MBA seems like it would be his choice.
I doubt that he uses some unreleased Mac. Think about it, the man has to work on it, it has to be stable. I guess a regular MacPro. Maybe somebody came by and said "Hey, we got those Becktown 8-Core samples", that's the best I could imagine - and that would be the upcoming MacPro (if there wouldn't be SandyBridge). Remember, they just bump CPUs, completely new designs only come every couple of years.
Sure he got the good NDA-stuff, but just to play around, as it might not be stable.
It's just like with the rest of us. If you need stability, you wait for .1-versions.
I think he uses the iPad II already, though - if it's already usable.

Steve Jobs has: iPhone 5, iPad 2 both with iOS 5, an iMac with a 100" screen and a Mac Pro with a TB of ram, with seven 1000000 TB solid state drives all in the body of a next gen MacBook Air that is 0.00001 inches thick which has a disk drive which reads Blu-Rays and the next ten disc formats, running OS XI, and he uses it for light internet browsing. Also, he has a PowerBook G6. Top that.
I think old Steve went full on cyborg had his urethra replaced with a firewire port, his butt crack can burn Blu Ray discs, his nipples get broadband and Wifi, but his brain hasn't been upgraded from a PPC to an intel yet.

He uses an iPad.
1. It's *his* brain-child
2. He doesn't really do content creation as such. He directs, leads, and is the ideas-man. All the man really needs is a good sketch pad/brainstorming application.
3. He likey spends a lot of time on the web as well - it is after all, our most poweful research an information tool. What better and more enjoyable way to experience it than by using an iPad.
4. He's probably using and testing the next-gen iPad as we speak. So he'll be using it quite a bit and comparing it to the current model.
Obviously, we don't know for sure, and it doesn't rule out the likelihood he uses a high-powered MacBook, but it stands to reason that the iPad figures into a significant part of his daily "computing."

Actually, Bill Gates first thought of the idea I believe. Or at least, from what he described in a TV program about him about ten years ago, it sounded like what we call a 'tablet computer'.
The secret computer Steve Jobs uses is the same 1984 Macintosh that he displayed to the world. He's upgraded it a bit with a 3.4 Ghz 68000, built in iSight, 256 GB of RAM, and boots it to System 1 and 10.7 with Holographic Versatile Discs.
Steve doesnt use a computer, hes skynet in disguise. The dude we see at the Keynotes is a Terminator.
I can just imagine his battle Bill Gates now "hasta la vista Billy!"
