Because it has a windows key.
Keyboard looks shitty.
>>54371098
Asus laptops are shitty
>any year

been there, done that. Enjoy your battery failure in 7 months, your keyboard failure in 9 and your motherboard failure in 15.

Mine had a bad spacebar from day 1, I sent it in and they refused to service it.
Never again
Their desktop Mobos have went down the shitter anyways
>>54371098
>buying any Asus other than the eeepc
Their regular laptops are fucking ass.
Why can't you configure/buy them from the Asus website?

Its an amazing keyboard. I have the pu301la and its awesome.
>>54371098
Awful keyboard, for one thing. Also my mom had a Zenbook and the thing was a shitheap. The printing on the keyboard smudged and wore away, USB ports died, eventually the whole thing just bit it within two years.
>>54372225
2 years and going strong.
>>54371098
Not even remotely equal to the Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Macbooks are nothing more than fashion statements for people who don't really need a laptop at all.

And ASSUS laptops are plastic bricks for idiots with no reading comprehension who don't realize the laptop they're mocking was never part of the conversation.
>>54372384
you're the one who had to bring up a laptop that was never part of the conversation, so go collect your plastic brick and leave
>page navigation keys are on the fn layer
eat shit
>>54372374
He said MacBook Pro.
>>54372426
All those negative points still apply to the shitbook "pro".
>>54372444
>cooling
The cooling is fine
>ports
It's got 3 USB3 port and 2 thunderbolt and a multi-card reader. That's enough for me
>keyboard
Keyboard is objective. I actually quite like the sort travel since they give a good bounce. I type quite firm.
>thickness
It's not that thin
>>54372173
>>54372270
These are different than their consumer line. Also keyboard it spill proof

rmbp 13 has 2 usb ports which is not enough.

fuck off, facebook baby
>>54371098
how much is it?
Personally I went with Dell. Got their "Small Business" 13" Chromebook. The screen is fucking top notch, the hardware is pretty decent, the build quality is great, and the SSD is user replaceable. It basically has full Linux compatibility and they're working on full Windows compatibility.
>>54371098
>pay $200 for shittiest asus of all time (x205ta)
>runs smooth as fuck, apparently spill proof as well and kind of aesthetic
I might even get one of those when my elitebook dies
>>54372254
Asus does not sell directly to customers.
>>54379389
>EliteBook
>dies
I've had mine for 7 years. Works like a charm.
Gonna put another stick of RAM in it, SSD and a USB3 port into the ExpressSlot. Should run for another 3.
