Yes. An NSX can spank a Mercedes SLR on any road with corners with comparable driving talent.
Duh, it's a Benz. It's all about big, luxurious, and lots of power.

Why were you comparing the rMBP (and not the 15" cMBP) to (non-Zenbook) Asus laptops again?
For precisely the same reason I brought up the NSX. I could have agreed as this year there's no Honda capable of spanking an SLR....
But here's the thing: Apple always does this the same way, they introduce the new design alongside the old one so they can sell off the last few of the old design and discontinue the older one once the new design's tooling is paid off.
Honda has demonstrated a new NSX. Therefore it seems kind of silly to compare the SLR to the current Civic.
The old MBP still has a couple of quarters in it to help pay off the rMBP but it's a dead design walking. Apple has chosen to go with iOS device assembly techniques for their entire portable device line. Like it or not once the oMBP is retired the new MBP won't be an SLR any more... it'll be a SMART car.
Honda and Mercedes will have switched places in precisely the same way as Apple and Asus.
No, Apple doesn't "always does this the same way", I don't recall them ever having two design generations at once while updating the old generation with new components before.
I won't try to understand the reason you want to switch to an Asus laptop again if all you come up with is nonsense, but don't blame the fact that you want to switch on Apple if you have no logical reason to.
Every generational change involving a shift in body since MacBook's transition to an aluminum enclosure has been done this way.
If there's no getting through to you that Apple has gone off the deep end you obviously don't get that this is Apple allowing the iOS design team to whittle even more away from the Mac. Apple has never been one to build genuine powerhouse laptops but this is going too far. Turning the "pro" laptop into a giant, overpowered iDevice inside is too much.
I've seen the rot inside that campus up close and personal. If you're perfectly happy with a bar of soap that has so much screen glare you can shave in it with a full-lit white background, fine. Enjoy Apple's future portable devices. I'll be jumping ship for a G7x series because I want the options, the room inside and the overall enhanced usability that comes with a larger case and a design team not headed by Bob Mansfield with Scott Forstall on his shoulder like a damn mascot.

But if Windows is what you want, then who are you considering an Apple laptop anyways?
If you're fine with using Windows, go for it. But if Windows is what you want, then who are you considering an Apple laptop anyways? The reason I won't consider an Asus laptop is Windows. End of story.
The hardware is distinct from the OS. Just because it ships with Windows doesn't mean that's what I'd be using. Most likely I'd be running all 3 major OS lines: osx86 Mac OS, Windows 7 and Linux.
Mac OS traditionalists still operate under the superstition that Macs are synonymous with Mac OS and that all other products somehow must only run Windows. This assumption is false. Though Macs come with a chip on the logic board that Mac OS installers look for to authorize their use this is only a form of DRM aimed at keeping the platform closed and is really the only true distinction between Apple's products and anyone else's beyond cost and aesthetics.
Who I am.... I am a long time Apple afficionado that got to be inside the reality distortion bubble on that campus long enough to see both the rot and the hubris of a company whose implosion has already begun. I am not choosing Windows so much as I am choosing hardware not compromised by Apple's bizarre internal shifting of core staff from one project to another, thus resulting in an inevitable bleed-over from iOS devices into the other hardware. I have seen the rot at the core of Apple and I no longer see the company with the naive positivity of an outsider.

Who's saying that? AFAIAA, it's just a rumor (or better said, the absence of a rumor like the one there's been for a redesigned 15" model).
The main risk in losing the 17" model (at least temporarily) may come from the anticipated future use of retina displays. Going over to retina on the 17" would mean that Apple would need to provide a display with a whopping 3840 * 2400 pixels. That's over 9 million pixels in total!Such high resolution displays may still be prohibitively expensive to produce at acceptable yields.
However, I'm not at all convinced that we're going to see retina screens in the next update. Indeed, looking at the continued relatively poor availability of the new iPad (at least in Europe), it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I heard that Apple was running behind schedule on the introduction of this new technology.
