A cynic would say that if Asustek wanted to become Apple it would have to double its prices and tell its users to like whatever it gives them. However, the truth is that Apple has got where it is because its users think it understands them and fulfills their needs.

Nah, 4 times more is more like it. How many Asus parts are in Apple products one must wonder? Asus has done far more than replace Apple anyway. They have superior products, and a much broader portfolio. Let the smug masters keep to their Apple. That way I can keep laughing at Macbook users that ask what my Eee PC is. They cry when I tell them the cost.
