Name one.
Please, this is a serious question. I would truly love to have an Android phone, an Android tablet or a Linux-compatible laptop with the same design and build quality as an Apple product.
I've pretty much given up on manufacturers that clearly don't want my money. Audio and tv electronics, no problem. Hell, I can even get beautifully designed alarm clocks, toasters and even friggin' designer humidifiers, so obviously Apple hasn't cornered the market on talented industrial designers.
- phaus 15y agoBefore I give some examples, just remember that claiming one device has an overall better design is highly subjective. However, build quality is more easily recognized. Asus' new Transformer Prime tablet is probably the best example of a product that matches or exceeds the build quality and design of an Apple product. Asus' original transformer tablet, while not as thin or light as the iPad, was also an extremely well-built and stylish device. I think that I would actually prefer an iPad 2 over the original transformer, but that doesn't mean it isn't a nice piece of hardware.
- checker 15y agoThe Transformer Prime does look great. As an aside, I can't decide whether its website is cool or not: http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/features
