Consumer Reports has traditionally rated Apple products very high on build quality and performance, but they also have rated them much lower for the high price. The iPad has become the exception to this rule. They basically said that in the case of the iPad you're getting a well built device for what (so far) is an unbeatable price.
The lower priced units tested were summed-up as being 'mediocre at best'.
Additionally.... Consumer Reports states:
"Hardware specifications don't tell the whole story. Portability, storage capacity, and weight are important. But less obvious differences in software, connectivity, and upgradability are critical too."
