It's not the really the hardware, but the fact that Apple contacts it's own hardware specs to Asian OEM's resulting in a much tighter development process so the hardware and O/S can work together more effectively. In contrast, Microsoft O/S's are designed to run on many different pieces of hardware, making their systems slower and not as effective as Apple. This is why Apple has much fewer issues than Microsoft in general. However, saying that the physical hardware is built any better is a stretch.
