Asus VX1 Lamborghini Laptop: Hands All Over, Predictably Faster Than Hummer Laptop

PC Magazine reviews the Lamborghini-branded Asus VX1, filling the entire writeup with terrible automotive journalism cliches. They compare it to the iTronix ruggedized Hummer Laptop, and last year’s Acer Ferrari Laptop. Predictably, with its 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo T2500 and Gig of RAM “Under The Hood”, it’s faster than both. Although, in their defense, the…

Asus PG191 19-inch LCD Reviewed (Verdict: Great Features, Except For The Display)

The Asus PG191 is aimed at gamers, and thus, has loads of extras like an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, stereo speakers with a sub, USB ports and mic/headphone jacks. The only feature that was lacking, unfortunately, was the display. Trusted Reviews says: I found colours to be over-saturated and unnatural and severe banding was also…

ASUSTek V80: Slim Cell Catches MPEG-4 Video(?)

Here’s a thin phone from ASUSTek. Well, at 16mm, it’s more like last year’s thin phone. For comparison, a Moto Q is only 11.5mm thick. But that doesn’t mean it’s crap. Its 2-megapixel camera can focus to 10cm close, and can shoot MPEG-4 vids (maybe…the spec sheet is somewhat unclear). It also comes in black,…

ASUS PG191 LCD, For the Gamers

This monitor may be labeled as a multimedia gaming monitor, but it is easily that and more. To start with the nitty gritty, this behemoth has a 1280×1024 native resolution, 800:1 contrast ratio, 320cd/m2 brightness and a very nice 2ms response time for optimal gaming and minimal ghosting. The fun doesn’t end there, either. This…

The Asustek PW201 does a purely logical thing, following Apple’s lead and placing a 1.3- megapixel webcam right in the top/middle of the bezel surrounding its 20.1-inch LCD.
