Before 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.
