Apple or Android? Or maybe, something else?

So, do you own a cel phone, tablet or laptop? If so, do you lean towards being a Mac user, an Android user or something else, such as Linux, or Windows?

I'm steadfast as a Mac fan :)
 
I swapped to an Android phone and never looked back. I also have a Windows PC as I game regularly and a Macbook is worthless in that regard.
 

I liked Apple computers when I was in college. I think they make a good product.

But, I don't like the cost of their products. I like Android for mobile devices because they're more customizable.

My kid's all have phones though. DW and I are Android.
 
The only Apple product in our home is a very old Nano Ipod I used to jog with. Hubby is the IT security officer for a fairly largish company and hates Apple. We both have Android phones, he has a Pixal 9 I have some sort of weird OnePlus since there were no Pixals to be had when my old phone died a few years ago. My next one will be a Pixal. We both have Windows laptops (hubby has 2 or 3) but I know Hubby has/does work on Linux systems. He also does work on Apple phones and Mac computers for the people who use them where he works.
 
My phone is Android and my laptop is Windows.

I've never used any other type.
 
I have an Apple phone and tablet,

and a Dell desktop PC with Windows.
 
My late DH had Android as well as one of my sons. The rest of us all have iPhones. When I went shopping, my kids thought it would be easier for me to navigate.

I also have Laptop (old now) and desktop (ancient now) - Apple and iPad - I guess Apple also) (newer).

I use a MacBook Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad (a little bit). As much as I have tried to embrace the use of a tablet like many others have, I just cannot seem to love the iPad.

Also have a Mac Mini hooked up to TV. Still have an old MacBook Pro that actually works better than you would think, and an old MacBook Air. The Apple TV is stuck in a drawer somewhere.

DH uses a Windows laptop though.
 
Used to be Apple but now I'm Android, cellphone and tablet.
DW is still Apple off both.
 
I have always had Android. Never owned any Apple products. People always say they're more intuitive, but they aren't at all if you're already used to Android. I don't know how one can function without a back button.
 
When personal computers first became available, we had both Windows & Apple products at our office. Many people were confused trying to switch back and forth. As I recall Apple purposely tried to make their initial products 'different' to distinguish themselves from Windows. However, 'different' didn't necessarily translate into 'better'. People would lose files and couldn't find them because of the odd way things were stored. The buttons/functions didn't seem intuitive in the way they were intended. Apple was good for graphic intensive applications initially before the software of competing products caught up. I associate Android with a cell phone operating system so the survey is a bit misleading. Software is now commonly available for every platform. If there is a market for certain applications, they become readily available.

I prefer a real keyboard to use with my home PC. Have a Windows product that works great for how I use it.

My phone is Android and works fine. I keep it until the battery dies. Never saw the need to rush out to buy the latest version of any phone.......to me they are all still a: 1) phone, 2) way to text, 3) able to read emails when not home, 4) camera for occasional use. My life has never revolved around the use of my phone regardless of the clever marketing that tries to imply you are somehow 'out of date' if you don't always have their latest product. Apple products have always seemed pricey and part of what you pay for is their popularity/brand recognition. With regard to different currently available PC operating systems, it depends mostly on what exactly you do on your computer. Some operating systems are more effective than others for specific applications.

I have always been iPhone but only switched to Mac for the total integration a few years ago.
 
Android/Windows. I won't pay the Apple tax. I don't pay thge Samsung tax either, but Android has so many other options.
 
I have a hand me down Windows PC desktop, a hand me down Windows laptop, and a hand me down MacBook Pro. My first and second smartphones were hand me down iPhones. I bought my first new iPhone a couple of years ago, and I have two iPads I bought, one from 2012 I use as an ereader now and the other I just bought last year. So I sort of came into the Apple world kind of through the back door but I like it, especially how all the devices function together. I need to get a new laptop soon, and it will probably be a MacBook.
