No contest much? You give 4 advantages over mbp, and the Asus model beats it in every aspect for half the money ... Except Asus doesn't have a glowing picture of a half eaten fruit up front.

lol no

mbp is a much better looking machine and that alone outweighs anything the asus has

This just serves to prove my point that you are paying a high premium for apple stuff (in this case $750 worth).

see above

In all seriousness, the only advantages mbp holds over the Asus model is the processor, which I think is Sandy Bridge (2415M), while the Asus one is Arrandale (460M). Feel free to verify, but the mbp processor won't show up on the i5 processor lists, only the i5 2410M (which is definitely SB). Sandy Bridge is much faster than any other architecture from Intel.

lol no

sandy bridge may be faster clock for clock but a 2.3 ghz SB isn't faster than a 2.66ghz arrandale

And second advantage is the Thunderbolt interface, which is useful if you're an impatient kinda guy.

lol no

thunderbolt is pretty much useless right now and will be for the next 1-2 years

iPad is lame, only good for some entertainment.

Dude get mbp, it kills mba in everything, even sexiness (duh)

also 15" mbp is better if you wanna spend that much

iPad sucks compared to some. Still a good device though.
