Microsoft is doing a much, much better job with hardware compared to Apple. Microsoft's Surface Book is absolutely stunning--although a little pricey for me--and unlike Apple's stuff it doesn't break after a month of normal use with people having to do class actions for them to acknowledge that there's even something wrong.
On the other end, macOS is definitely better than Microsoft in pretty much every aspect (although that might be subjective).
Me, I'm currently on a Surface Book "clone"--meaning a laptop that has the exact same Chinese, awesome 3000:2000 touch screen, running an hybrid of Xfce with Kwin and other components to make Linux look a little prettier.

The surface book is actually known to have thermal problems, and the surface pro 4 almost went to class action before microsoft organized a replacement program. http://www.classlawdc.com/2018/02/06/microsoft-surface-pro-4-class-action-investigation/ http://www.classlawdc.com/2018/02/06/microsoft-surface-pro-4... On the other end, macOS is definitely better than Microsoft in pretty much every aspect (although that might be subjective). As someone who hops between macOS and windows I'd have to disagree with that. Window management on laptops is way better on windows. There's no good way to cope with the dock on a small screen. It's difficult to resize windows (very small targets and no "dock to resize" feature) and the window behavior when maximized (fullscreen) is very clumsy. Also, macOS has no equivalent to the windows timeline.
