I have both a Macbook Pro 13.3 and an Asus touch screen laptop running Windows 8.

The Apple is slightly prettier and significantly faster-- it is also slightly newer being 2 years old versus 4 years old. The Asus also gets fingerprints all over the screen due to touchscreen use.

For work, I struggle using the Mac. If I need to run MS Excel or the OpenOffice equivalent, I will use the Asus laptop. Even the Apple genuis at the Apple Store could not get the MS Excel for Macs to open across the entire screen. Very frustrating. Also, it won't allow me to save different types of documents in a single folder. Again, very frustrating.

I also prefer Google Chrome which is loaded on both but has difficulty running properly on the Mac. Safari is okay but lacks all the bells and whistles of Chrome.

Pelicanparts runs much smoother on the Mac though. I also really like my iPhone. However, Macs are fairly counter-intuitive and difficult to use for many applications for me.
