I use a 15" MBP retina along with my iPhone 5 and Nexus 4. The Nexus interfaces & syncs even easier & faster with my Mac. I'd just Google for the kinds of apps you need & you'll find lots of choices.
I use Evernote, Flickr, Dropbox, Simplenote, and a few others. They are just as nice for Android as iOS. The gap has all but been eliminated since using the Mac & Android combo is highly popular.
