You mentioned performance/watt - in user terms, battery life is a huge advantage of this hardware. The official specs of the 13" MBP are 17 hours of web browsing, 20 hours of video playback. I assume it won't be as long in Linux but it'll still be longer than a lightweight and high performance x86 laptop.
