Introduction and Specs

It seems with the increasing popularity of portable computers, it’s inevitable that manufacturers begin paying closer attention to branding and appearances to attract a broader audience. The market has proven that customers are willing to pay a little extra money if it meant a product that’s a bit better designed, looks unique, or has a special feature. Asus has a lot of practice in this area with their Premium and Deluxe motherboards which feature a lot of extra features and unique bits that really make them stand out from the rest.

Today we’re looking at such a laptop: the Asus-Lamborghini VX1 notebook. The laptop boasts Lamborghini inspired styling and branding which makes it look impressive, but is it all surface and no substance? I’ve given branded laptops a hard time in the past so I’m very eager to dig into this laptop.

Specification

The VX1 we are reviewing today is the 5E009P revision which has a Core 2 Duo T7400 (2.166 GHz) CPU and a generous 2GB of RAM. There is a standard 5400 RPM UDMA  5 (ATA-100) hard drive and a integrated GeForce Go 7400 video card. I won't spoil the surprise, but the ATA-100 hard drive has some tricks up its sleeve.
