Yes, but Apple has a great combination of high performance (laptop-wise), long battery life and high portability. Before I had the Zenbook series where you had the high end with the i-5 chips that died in 2-3 hours, or the low end that lived 5-6 hours but could barely play a video in 1080p (IIRC, from memory).
With the Air for example I have it all; very long battery life, pretty high performance (more than enough for what I use it), super portable, and a great keyboard+trackpad. The only thing I'm missing is Linux :)
