Apple's are significantly worse, however. Apple does things like use non-standard screws and connectors. They also like to glue in batteries. Basically they make the machine so that it can't be easily repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. They also reduce the ability to recycle certain components by gluing them to the case.
I'm a longtime Apple technician and things started going downhill when the iMac came out. The Apple machine is pretty on the outside. Perfect for the folks that buy them.

You can buy the screwdrivers at most home repair shops, even for the tamper resistant ones. While they're not that common, they're definitely standard screws.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoWe're talking about tablets. Can you tell me which of the major tablets is user serviceable?
- moheeb 14y agoNo, we're not. I referred to Apple generically in my post. I also won't tell you which major tablet is user serviceable. Also, why would it need to be major? Is this a quiz?
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoApologies, when you posted a reply to a post discussing iOS devices I thought you'd be talking about iOS devices. My bad.
