Fremont, CA: August 14, 2006 – ASUS Computer International, a leading provider of high quality notebooks worldwide, has announced the US debut of the ASUS-Lamborghini VX1 on August 18 at the Concorso Italiano, the “celebration of Italian style” that showcases hundreds of marquee Italian automobiles and kicks off Pebble Beach weekend.

ASUS-Lamborghini Series notebooks herald a mobile computing revolution. With design details and special mirror painting finish suggestive of Lamborghini’s fine automobiles, the notebooks successfully capture the spirit of the cars whose name they bear. Their look exudes power, speed, and beauty, and they are loaded up with premium and exclusive features.

The high performance notebooks are the fruit of a comprehensive partnership between ASUS, Lamborghini, and Intel®. The product was designed from the beginning to be, like its Lamborghini namesake, in a category by itself. “The ASUS-Lamborghini VX1 backs up its Lamborghini-inspired design with top performance, unbeatable features, and rock-solid ASUS quality. It is a stunning notebook worthy of the Lamborghini name,” says Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini (and current owner of an ASUS-Lamborghini VX1).
