Asus Lamborghini VX3-A1 (yellow) Reviews

May.17, 2008 in Asus

The ASUS Lamborghini VX3-A1 laptop. ‘The $3,299 Asus Lamborghini VX3 is a lap-based homage to the famous sports car of the same name, complete with a screamingly bright automotive yellow paint job. We’ve seen car-themed laptops before, from Acer’s Ferrari to a Toughbook-like Hummer laptop, and their audience is usually limited to auto enthusiasts who don’t mind paying a premium for what is essentially window dressing on a set of fairly standard laptop components. That being said, if you’re a fan of the car company founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini, you’ll find a nicely put-together laptop, with excellent build quality and upscale touches such as a leather-clad wrist rest. Under the hood, it lacks that sports car DNA, eliciting middling performance from its standard Intel Penryn CPU. Still, we can’t help but like the included sack of Lamborghini-branded accessories, including a leather mousepad and Bluetooth mouse.

The good: Solid construction; leather detailing; cool branded extras.

The bad: Kind of slow for a laptop named after a race car; expensive; poor battery life.

The bottom line: The Asus Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood.
