I was thinking about the MB (non-pro), except for that one mention of video. Really, the Pro vs. not buys you:
- A very sweet case
- Bigger (good for screen, bad for tossability)
- X1600 in the higher models
- 1394b
- ExpressCard34
- faster CPU options
- A lighter wallet

That's it if I remember my purchase day dilemmas. The ASUS is sort of in between but with much better video.

No kidding.

The ASUS comes with 2x512, so 2GB means ~$200
