I tried windows 10 but i could never give up MacOS and my Macbook Pro. I find it to be way smoother and get my work done much faster and with less headaches on a Mac. I tried android tablets but the app quality and lack of polish drove me back to the iPad. However, i prefer android when it comes to cell phones, especially now with my S8+ which is by far the best phone i ever used. With the samsung sidesync app on my mac i can get great continuity between my mac and s8. Drag and drop files with ease and direct messaging through the actual phone app from my mac is a godsent and i do not miss imessage as much thanks to this awesome feature. Anybody else here happily using both apple and android products side by side, or am i the only one?
 
I am the same exact way. I had the iPhone before (iPhone 5) but wasn't really impressed with it. I then upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S5 and since then I've always been an android girl. I do, however, love Apple laptops and iPads so I own a late-2013 15" MacBook Pro and an iPad Mini 2. I don't like Windows computers or Android tablets, but I sure do love my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and wouldn't ever trade it for an iPhone. I'm sticking with Samsung.
 
I'm all over, latest versions of MacBook, Surface, iPad, iPhone, bunch of Android flagship phones, echo etc. Apple has always had great experience and if I have to choose only one then most probably I would settle with apple ecosystem with Google services. But fortunately I don't, I enjoy all platforms. Samsung is my least favorite but I buy all the Galaxy flagships because I can and I do like S8 a lot compared to previous Samsung flagships. Previous Samsung phones I wouldn't last a month because of the horrible software/lag. But S8 has improved a lot on software, even though not the best in terms of performance it's been great plus it has the usual ton load of features that other phones don't have.
 
I bounce back and forth. I love my iPad and will not use a android tablet. But with my cell it's different. I try use the iPhone and get along fine for a while. But it get old and boring quick. I end up switching back to Android. Had the s8 plus twice and just picked up the s8 active. Love the heft and feeling. In the end I prefer Android over ios for my cell phone.
 
I have an iPad but find I'm not using it much now. I have a more Microsoft centred set up that is working for me well. My Windows 10 tablet and arrow launcher on my phone and this works great for me.

I play the odd game on my iPad and use it for speaking but that's it at the moment.
 
I have a Galaxy S8 and a MacBook Pro 13 inch (2015?)

Thankfully smart switch has a mac app so I can drag and drop files, recorded video on my S8 plays nicely with iMovie which is nice :)

I tried windows again like 2 years ago, but I couldn't get used to it... (bought and returned a laptop from best buy) I'm just so used to Finder and pressing space to preview files and .DMG files etc idk why but everything is easier for me on my MacBook
 
I use MacBook Pro (2017) and an iPad Pro 12" (1st Gen) with my Android phones. I mainly use MBP for my video editing and love Mac OS for it's simplicity. That said, I also love all the recent updates to Windows 10 and probably could replace my iPad with a Surface and Pen when the time comes.
