I'm on my 3rd Macbook Pro in 10 years, I have 2 iPads and an iPad Mini, Kindle Fire. I've had 3 iPhones, 3g, 4, 4s. I currently use an HTC One. Along with my Macbook Pro I also have a Chrome Book, Dell Workstation running Windows 7 and a HP Blade Server kicking around running Windows 2008.
So my opinion is a little less biased than most of the people in this thread. Because I use everything.
When it comes to laptops no one is fucking with the Macbook Pro. Period. Other companies may have caught up (read: ripped off) design, material, build wise. But battery wise its no comparison. I'm talking real world tests. Check every review. The Apple laptops consistently out perform in this area.....which is the most important since its a fucking laptop.
No one will ever surpass them because their hardware is optimized for the OS and vice versa. And the 1 or 2 laptops that you nitwits are going to inevitably link me to all have slower processors, has well tech or shittier video cards. Sony and Samsung make nice Macbook Air competitors but their batteries don't measureup.
Each of the 3 Macbook Pros I've owned in the last 3 years are still with a family member and functioning fine and the build still holds up. Could you say the same about a 8 year PC laptop? No fucking way.
As far as phones go I do miss iOS every now and then. Its just a more polished OS than Android is. Sure, I can do things on this phone that I could never dream of doing with my iPhone but it doesn't mean that I want to do it. Having a file system is nice. But also makes saving and later locating a file saved under one of the dozens of folders sometimes impossible. There are also apps that download things to god knows where (not mentioned in app settings) and when you uninstall the app the files remain. My biggest gripe are Wakelocks. And I come across a handful of them a week. Some coming from Googles own services on the phone. I'm running stock Android 4.3 and have a Google play edition of the phone.
My favorite thing about Android? The Tasker app of course.
The HTC One however has build quality that surpasses any iPhone I've ever owned. And the size is better. This is the size sweet spot for smart phones.
Tablets? Not even close. I've tried all of the Android tablets. I received a Kindle Fire as a gift. Nothing comes anywhere close to an iPad.
So that's my unbiased opinion.
