I have an Iphone as well, and in Phones I think Apple is superior.
I've installed many window operating systems and Office, so I am completely aware of how evil Microsoft is, but Apple is worse. If they were as good as Microsoft they would let you install their OS on any computer like Microsoft. I'm a fan of Microsoft in terms of the ease of use of their software, but as a company they are pure evil.
Hate for HP makes no sense to me. I've completely disassembled their computers and they are top notch. As a company, HP is well respected because of their history; they are like the founding fathers of Silicon valley.
Maybe it’s just the Windows dragging them down. Clunky, slow, updates galore, takes minutes to start. This was 15-20 years ago though. Current work HP laptop is slightly better but still bad. Probably just windows
