Back in November 2011, we did a comparison between the Asus Zenbook UX21 and the 2011 Macbook Air 11.6". This quarter, with the introduction of the 2012 Macbook Air 11.6" and the Asus Zenbook Prime UX21A, we're again faced with the question on which ultrabook to get.

To give us a better perspective, the Zenbook Prime UX31A retails for Php69,995 while a similarly spec'ed Macbook Air 13 retails for Php77,990 (Core i7, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD).
