I've had Android tablets, Windows tablets, and iPads. Of all of them, only my iPad has really earned a place in my computing life; it's done so so well in fact that I sold my MacBook Pro almost a year ago and haven't had a laptop of my own since. I do have an MBP issued by my employer, but I rarely use it for anything personal and when I do it's nothing more than light web browsing. Android tablets are "good enough", especially for web browsing. I'd go as far as to say they're better for that purpose because they allow you to fully integrate a third-party browser. They fall short when it comes to app selection and integration across different devices, though. I often tether my MBP to my iPad via BlueTooth, and it's completely painless. That's not easy to set up on Android, and even when I've done so in the past, the battery life suffered significantly and the connection failed often for no discernible reason. Windows tablets are better than Android IMO, but they suffer badly from lack of UI support. Even today, neither Firefox nor Chrome support touch interactions are well as Edge - and Edge isn't great. Trying to use programs designed for use with a keyboard and mouse on a tablet is painful at best. It's a nice idea, and I'd be willing to try a new Surface device, but as of about a year ago they just weren't worth the cost to me. For me, iPads hit the sweet spot - they're fast, have good battery life, integrate well with my MBP, and have the best selection of apps. The browser support is really the only complaint I have about iOS, and it's not a deal-killer for me. Safari is a good browser.
