Default Any members own the Asus Lamboghini VX- series Notebook.

ASUS-LAMBORGHINI VX3 Or
early version which if you dont think so to with a little less specs.

The VX2s has better pixel camera and more ram on gpu card.

Same PM965 chipset

What are your thoughts as this is a nice but over the top show peice.
Very nice series the Asus have in notebooks?

Meh... $5000 for a show pony that's got a broken leg the MacBook Air is cheaper, lighter has a better HDD, and GPU and not only that it looks better. The only thing this thing has going for it is the 2.5ghz CPU and then its in a 12" form factor that's not going to take full advantage of it

Just asking ay!
As in my computer shop as i was idling pass i took an old pamphlet with these notebooks and its a package.

But i think its more of someone with dollars and taste for the look.

Asus have other mad notebook's iv seen on there website.

The apple is a whole different spectrum.

While i don't mind the laptop, hell it looks nice I would never pay such a price. Leather around the hand-palm area is a nice touch...but..you know.

I don't think the MacBook is another spectrum at all, you have laptops like this, you have Alienware you have Apple.

I'm not a fan of the styling of this laptop at all... that's my personal taste your entitled to your own

I have/had a VX1

It was the only laptop I could get at the time that had the brilliant V6 chassis.

It served me brilliantly for 3 years, I would have recommended it to anyone.

However they only updated the line with that leather clad 13" pos, so I moved to a dell e6500 and have not looked back.

3 years ago I would have purchased a vx2, but now you would have to be crazy to.
