Apple's design, both software and hardware and everything in between, is consistently some of the best. And sure there may be great products from other companies from time to time, no one seems to consistently match Apple.
And I still think an Apple laptop beats all for one reason alone, the multitouch track pad. Its the first trackpad that doesn't make you want to just plug in a mouse. Outside of work, I've been using an Apple laptop for close to 10 years now, when OS X first came out (scary). And when the rumored tablet comes out, I'll probably get one.
And I think the iPhone will be king of the smartphone for a long time. I think about the only thing that'll topple it, will be if Apple itself drops the ball and lets others get vastly ahead in hardware features, which isn't all that likely. And app wise, they'll still be ahead. I just think they need to drop the AT&T exclusivity in the US and make a CDMA and/or LTE/WiMax version.
