Asus just gave a new look and hardware upgrade to its Lamborghini laptop. The VX3 edition has a 12.1" screen, weighs 3.6 lbs, and features such luxe amenities as a sapphire-crystal lens on the built-in camera, a handmade leather palm rest and a titanium alloy hinge. There is also the "authentic" Lamborghini logo to show all the kids at school what car you really want to drive when you're a balding 45-year-old with a sizable investment portfolio and two ex-wives. The PC specs aren't bad, but to be expected in a $3,300 laptop: 320GB HDD, a NVidia GeForce 9300 graphics card, Intel T9300 Core2 Duo chipset and 4GB of RAM, plus HSDPA wireless. [Asus]

My brother-in-law WON one of these in an MSN contest of all things!
(He thought it was SPAM at first!)
The thing is ridiculously cool to it's minutest detail with one possible exception: The included mouse should be one of Logitech's nicer offerings, as opposed to a basic wireless mouse with a logo on it.
Aside from that it's very very, right down to the leather soft case and nicer leather soft case case.
@strider_mt2k:
god that sounds awesome. make sure he enjoys it!
I have no idea what you're saying saying.
Nice ride.
@jiggaman:
By very very I mean you can fill in the blanks for an item of this type (if you can read between the lines).
As in very very:
Fancy
Expensive
Excessive
Sheik
Sleek
Svelt
and it's even covered in pelt, and certainly to be felt.
hmm, so by case case you meant...wait, I don't think theres a blank there to be filled....I must not be able to ____read____
@Kaspir: Nono.
That's literally a case to put the first case into.
You know to protect the case.
(just in case)
?
Wow.. so you actually were making sense (somewhat)... stick a finger in me ass and call me gay gay. (does that work?)
@jiggaman: That's one too many gay references out of you, dude. *Sound of BANHAMMER crushing some homophobic dude's virtual skull*
@Wilson Rothman: Agreed. Dumbass commenters who put down gays are a waste of bits (digital and otherwise).
You know what they say about homo-phobes.....some deep denial maybe?
jigga's latent tendencies aside, that's actually a cool laptop. I wish they all had titanium allow hinges.
@Kaiser-Machead: it's alloy you idiot.
Asus & Lamborghini vs. Acer & Ferrari
This is awesome!
But wouldn't putting MS Vista on this laptop be like having Gramdma Moses at the wheel of your Lamborghini?
