Reviewing Asus Lamborghini VX1, CNET gives it 6.9 out of 10 rating (good) and writes, “The target buyer of the Asus Lamborghini VX1 isn’t exactly looking to go incognito: The laptop’s bright yellow lid, with a shape evocative of a sports car’s spoiler, prominently features the Automobili Lamborghini logo. And the sports-car resemblance doesn’t end with appearance–the Lamborghini VX1 raced through our performance benchmarks, keeping up with laptops that incorporated higher-end components. Unfortunately, like an actual Lamborghini, the $2,799 VX1 costs quite a bit more than its competitors, including the similarly car-themed Acer Ferrari 5000 ($2,399). Laptops with no special cosmetic treatment, such as the Dell Inspiron E1505, cost even less. But if you’re dead set on paying the premium for a laptop with sports-car styling, you won’t get burned by the VX1.

The good: Cool design; great performance; decent battery life; beautiful screen has sharp resolution.

The bad: Expensive; display is not wide-screen; lacks multimedia controls; weak speakers; most ports are clustered on one side of the case.

The bottom line: Like its sports-car namesake, the Asus Lamborghini VX1 runs fast, looks flashy, and costs a lot of dough.”
