Roku 3 or Amazon Fire Stick?

We were given both for Christmas gifts and not sure which one to keep. I want to be able to use Netflix and be able to stream from my laptop, wirelessly and be able to view home photos on the large screen.
Does anyone have positive experience with either of these?

Both will stream Netflix, but I don't know if one is any "better" than the other. Obviously Amazon's product will have a bit more allegiance to its parent than Roku but I don't know if that makes a difference for the user. I believe both require an additional app ($) to stream from a PC.
