How can they provide products better than Apple if it's not even running OS X? That's so dumb.

It's like Honda would say: "We want Civic to drive better than Bentley"

@vladdybear: I'm not so sure how well that analogy fits, since Honda does build their own engines.

Just the same, Asus could write drivers so that their notebooks are OS X compatible, and allow consumers to bridge the gap.

Anyway, either OS being better is a subjective matter, and as far as I can see Windows 7 is getting a lot of positive reception.

The company that actually manufactures Apple's laptops wants to outdo Apple's laptops? Por que??

@Kaiser-Machead: Hmmm, I think maybe I was hasty in this comment, as Asustek may not actually be producing them anymore, but rather Quanta, or whoever else out there that Apple may contract. Oh wells, egg (possibly) on my face.

@AppleAppleApple: Apparently HP didn't, at least from two years to six months ago (not sure if it still applies). Good Lord, that quality control was horrendous. Failing nVidia mobile chips didn't help much.

@Nick: I suppose I could set my Inspiron 9400 on my pile of dead Compaq laptops (P3/600 Armada, P4 Evo, Sempron/2800+ Presario, all dead, all free). Might be a cool photo.
