Someguy...that was pretty brilliant.
Competes with MBP? Umm maybe one of the nicer vaio's, but IMHO even those dont. At my mall there is an Apple store directly accross from a Sony one, and if you look at MBP's that svelte all the way around (bottom too), they have a real trackpad (nice and big) and most importantly theyre NOT made from plastic. Everything I saw in the sony store was encased in crappy plastic. meh
MBP FTW

Generally, this is not the place to be asking that question if you want an unbiased answer. ^^;

It's not an easy question to answer.
Specification wise comparisons tend to be hard to do as there are a number of features that are never the same between vendors, ASUS and Lenovo (thinkpads, formerly IBM) tend to offer similar specced machines in regards to processor, GPU and screen size, though Lenovo's comprable GPUs tend to be of the mobile workstation class. Aesthetically, there aren't really any machines that match it to my knowledge. Of course if the buyer wants OSX (legally and supported), mobility and features that macbooks don't have then there is no competition.
