You'll certainly turn heads with this stylish Lamborghini, complete with raging bull logo and familiar yellow and black chassis. The VX1 is powered by a centrino core duo processor, and has a 160 GB hard drive.

Picture of the Asus Lamborghini VX1I had thehots for Lamborghini sports cars when I was a kid, before I evenknew or cared about what they were really for-to get the ladies.And now that I could use one for its true purpose, I can't evenget close to affording one. But now maybe I can-at least aLamborghini VX1 laptop. This Asus notebook has the looks to matchits name, with a bright yellow, angled lid, complete with theLamborghini bull logo, and black keyboard inset into slick blackaluminum.
If thiswasn't enough to get eyes a' gawking, the designer laptop comeswith a black suede-trimmed carrying case. By the way Acer was the firstmanufacturer to couple a racing car brand with a notebookcomputer when they released their Ferrari seriesnotebooks.

The Asus Lamborghini VX1 comes with the price tag you'd expectfrom a racey laptop: Around $2,700. But does this Asus have theperformance that the name "Lamborghini" invokes? For a 2005/early2006 laptop, the answer is yes. But for something you'd be buyingheading into 2007, you might be slightly disappointed. The truth is thatthe Asus Lamborghini VX1 is a classic but a tad outdated.

For starters, the processor is a 2-GHz Intel Core Duo T2500,which has the speed that most users would appreciate. But if younotice the new Intel commercials, the chip giant is now pushingout its Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Also, the 15 inch display isout of style, with its standard 4:3 screen dimension ration.Widescreens are probably the displays now that get the "ohhs" andthe "ahhs" from the ladies.

The graphics card-an Nvidia GeForce Go 7400VX-is another featurethat most users could tolerate, but gamers wouldn't find that itdeserves the name Lamborghini. It can only handle 3D gaming atlower resolutions. Is that true Italian speed?

Maybe I am being too harsh. The AsusLamborghini VX1 does come with 2GB of RAM, expandable to 4GB, and160GB of hard drive. It does have built-in Bluetooth. And thedisplay, though not widescreen, is high-resolution and high-glossfor crystalline pic quality.

But then the only reason to drop nearly three grand on thisstylish notebook, though, would be to impress the ladies with itship-hop-video good looks, not its hardware. Just hope the ladyyou're trying to impress doesn't know too much about laptops.
