Asus Lamborghini VX3-A1

Ever wanted to own a Lamborghini? Asus has fulfilled your wish by introducing it for just $3000 odd dollars! Jokes apart, Lamborghini is the latest invention the Asus’ labs. The laptop has been designed specially to look similar to the famous sports car. The laptop comes in both yellow and black colors.

Asus Lamborghini VX3-A1 specifications :

• Dimensions : 12″ x 8.7″ x 1.2″
• Processor : 2.5 GHz Intel Core2 Duo
• Display : 12.1″ TFT with 1280 x 800 resolution
• RAM : 4GB DDR II SDRAM 667 MHz
• Hard Disk : 320GB SATA-150 5400 rpm
• Optical Storage : DVD Writer
• Graphics : Nvidia GeForce 9300M G 256MB
• Webcam : 0.3 Megapixel
• Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate
• Approx : $3100

The laptop has excellent build quality and is mostly targeted towards auto enthusiasts who associate themselves strongly with the Lamborghini brand name. Asus has made sure that the laptop does give you the feel of a Lamborghini by taking great deal of pain in its detailing.

The yellow color variant has a glossy yellow back lid with a Lamborghini badge on it. The wrist pad has been made of leather with a stitched border which gives a nice look. The keyboard features large keys which are snugly fitted and it feels great while typing on the keyboard. Being an ultra-portable laptop, it misses out on dedicated media keys and volume control keys.

When started up, the laptop flashes the Lamborghini logo and plays the sound of a Lamborghini engine revving-up. The display is a glossy 12.1″ TFT screen with a display resolution of 1280 x 800. The screen is not quite anti-reflective though and using it in sunlight will be a tough task.

The configuration of the laptop is quite good but certainly not as good as you would expect in a $3000 laptop. The 4GB RAM and the 2.5 GHz processor will do suffice to all the tasks you want to perform on it. The Nvidia GeForce 9300M will take care for your gaming needs. The graphics card is powerful enough to run most games at medium settings.

The battery life on the laptop is highly disappointing. It can handle just over an hour of DVD playback. Although doing casual routine work on the laptop is not so taxing on the battery and it can last upto 2 hours.

Pros :

• Excellent build quality
• Leather wrist pad
• Good configuration
• Nice graphics card

Cons :

• Highly Expensive
• Not great performance for the configuration
• Poor battery

Final Thoughts

The Asus Lamborghini VX3-A1 laptop is not a value for money laptop but more of a show-off for people who are ready to splurge money. It has a solid build quality and good performance but the price tag is exorbitant. If you are a huge Lamborghini fan or have just won a lottery, go buy this immediately!
