Both are trash, like everything manufactured by Apple... And I am working in the service industry, their products are the fucking worst crap ever made.
Do yourself a favor and abandon that piece of shit company.
They're a consumer products company that makes a product that is extremely popular and most of their mobile products are well made.
They also make well made, if overpriced, laptops and desktops. Nothing outside of some questionable motherboard and cooling choices are trash.
I don't use their products and I likely never will because I don't value form over function, but this post is just a hyperbolic nonsense.
Fuck off with your Apple bashing. Apple makes the best products available on the market today. The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro and the MacBooks are top of the line and beats out anything on any Windows based laptops bar none. You're a troll. Simple as that.
You could have countered his post with a less reactionary post.
Apple's products are very good and can be listed among the best in some categories, but the company isn't without faults so there is no need to counter bashing with hyperbolic fanboyism either.
As far as answering the topic. I'd say the macbook is the better investment especially in resale value and terms of usability, nothing can really replace a mouse cursor imo.
I've only used a cheap wacom tablet for drawing and it wasn't great, so the only thing I can say to that is that don't cheap out.
EDIT: And I hate to use qualifiers and post about my work, but I'm a certified Apple Technician (Samsung too) and have worked on just about every product they've made in the past 11 years. I haven't had a chance to work on the new Mac Pro though.
