If you are worrying about getting the "right" device, you are better off sticking with Apple anyway, and I don't mean that as insult in anyway. Like I said before, iOS devices are like a Corolla. It's the "safe" "reliable" choice, if a little boring and soul sucking.
I respectfully disagree.
Apple makes the world most popular smartphone and laptop for a reason. They work; period. As long as you're purchasing, app, music, TV, Movie in the Apple universe, they just work! I know I am sounding like a fanboy, but I have my reasons. I am / was a huge computer geek. I the 90s and into the 2000s I would spends hours upon hours tweaking my Windows computers to work with software, games etc. Then I leaped into the Apple universe without any real reason other than I was fed up with tweaking Windows. And everything worked, I seamlessly transfers all my data from my Windows into Apple. Hardware and software works seamlessly no more tweaking.
I owned my Mac pro for 8 years, and only replaced it because it was a PowerPC processor was no longer compatible with current OS and software. I have had my current iMac for 5 years, and only added ram and still run faster then my mother-laws brand new i5 laptop.
I have owned a total of 4 Apple devices in 13 years to accomplish everything I have needed to do, on the net, work, and play. I don't think anyone can say that with mobile phones, let alone PCs
Perhaps you can argue about the software, and I agree iOS and Maverick is a little vanilla if you like tweaking your OS. But I am happy with my choice, and for a good reason.
