I really agree with you - except that.. I have another PC. I bought a Lenovo X230 and I'm very happy with it. But the asus was a clear fantastic candidate, with no compromise on quality... But I needed more power and more solid thing. I needed more power than the Asus could give. And the rest is fantactic, really : keyboard, screen, silence... I'm in loooove with my computer for the first time since the ZX81 and the PET. So I assume we share the same feeling but for a different computer. I do agree with ou too that PC are not "master of the Domain" anymore. But i must admit i like to do things with my computer. Not only read, or check my twitter account, or be connected. But also typing, writing, thinking and applying new things... So my needs are achangin' I even play with the idea of dropping my smartphone - to be less connected.
