This decision is purely a function of cost, portability, features. And you might have to compromise on something, be prepared.

My choice: Asus Ultrabooks.

In my case, I couldn't afford a Macbook Air, (I badly wanted a MAC, I couldn't buy with my budget, but just somehow managed to get an ASUS Ultrabook with EMI's)

About Asus Ultrabooks--

Compared to MAC's:

- They are much much cheaper, ( almost half the price) not compromising on the build quality, comes with Aluminium Chassis.

- Has 24GB SSD, Hybrid storage with 750GB HDD( you can configure SSD, and install important apps)

- Excellent MAC like Keyboards.

- Suggestion: Get an 8GB extra RAM, everything works smooth.

- Finally excellent battery life, 4hrs guaranteed with 4cells, if you are looking more get 8cells, but pay extra.

Good luck. :)




That was completely unnecessary. There's no reason to think that it's a reference to the former in such a context.


True, but there's also no need to capitalize it. It's a shortened version of Macintosh, not an acronym.


Great observation, appreciate that.

Sorry for that typo. :)


Hmm, interesting. Where I live (Europe), Zenbooks are almost the same price as Macbook Air.
