There are more than a few ultra-books that are widely considered to be on par with apple in terms of build quality, its just that you'd have a hell of a time getting an Apple user to admit it even if he held it in his hands. That's just human nature.
The Acer Aspire S7, the Lenovo X230, the Lenovo X1 Carbon, the Ativ Book 9 Plus, the Lenovo T440s, the Sony Vaio Duo 13, the Asus Zenbook Infinity UX301LA. Most of these come with Full HD or better IPS panels too.
You can find something wrong with any product, but it stands to reason that a person who has lived with Apple's faults for a long time is likely to have grown more forgiving of them due to familiarity. Therefore, when that person sees a competing product that isn't absolutely flawless, he may be more critical of it than he would be of a new Apple product.
