The comparative spec Mac to the ASUS that I bought about 2 years ago was exactly double the price (in Rands). Using all the advice on these forums to unbloat the ASUS and run it lean has resulted in a machine that has NEVER failed me (save one embarressing operator error). I am now considering an update (faster processor, lighter & more compact aluminium unibody, longer battery life etc). Once again the Mac comes in at twice the price of the ASUS with the same specs. A combination of financial restraints and being an ASUS fan-boy helps the final decision. Would I like a Mac - sure. Am I compromising myself - no. My requirements are nowhere close to what you are looking for Mostapha, but the same things filter through to an off-the-shelf purchase.
