I'm a huge Macbook Pro fanboy. I love mine, and anytime I have to go without it I get angry.
I also have a lot of respect for their R&D. Both the cell phone and tablet markets today are defined by Apple's innovation and product design.
I also generally think people that talk shit about Apple are the people everyone wants to punch at parties. "Oh, is that an iPod you have there? Yeah, I refuse to buy them - too commercial. You should check out the new ZR743X - much better product." Yeah, thanks dude.
I also think Apple does an excellent job supporting their products, especially compared with the borderline incompetence from most of the big Android boys. They support for more than one generation, they provide timely upgrades, and their products retain value much more than their Android counterparts.
But you also have to realize it's Apple, and in the mobile realm that means you get what they want to give you, and nothing more.
