What Do You Think of ASUS Laptops?

Dan Guisinger asks: "I'm looking at replacing a laptop that was recently stolen and came across ASUS's new B1000 series laptop. It seams to have everything one could want, dual FireWire ports, DVD, CDRW, 15" screen, upgradable Pentium III cpu using mPGA2 sockets...it even has finger print security. My only problem while looking at the specs is the measly 1024x768 XGA resolution it supports. I am unable to find reviews on this laptop, nor most other ASUS laptops. Can anyone speak of the quality of their laptops overall? How about this particular model, has anyone seen or used the B1000?"

How about an Apple?

Apparently the poor Asus site has already been slashdotted! I've been a longtime PC user, I run a dualboot with Linux and Windows. Right now, I am also currently searching for a new laptop and Apple seems to have caught my eye, especially with those new Titaniums and OS X.
So, what are the arguments against switching over to Mac? I mean, the hardware is sleek and sexy... 15 inch screen with slot-loading DVD can play for about 4+ hours on a single charge. And now with Darwin, you get more UNIX compatibility. Plus, Apple only sells supercomputers!
In addition, you can get 20% off any Apple hardware bought from their site if you get a $99 student membership.
What reasons should I have not to convert?
