I think OSX is ok but a Mac is the only option if you want to cover it all. The track pad is nice as far as track pads go but all track pads become painful after extended use.

If someone wants to work on iOS and Android you either buy one laptop (OSX) or you have to buy a mac mini. Wish there were another solution.

It's against the license but OSX runs fine in a VM under windows.
