ASUS Lamborghini VX7: Intel Inside, Ugly Outside
Posted by Michael Knutson in "Asus Laptops & Netbooks" @ 12:00 PM
"Just in time for spring, ASUS has refreshed its Lamborghini VX7, a staple in the company's line of premium notebooks (and fugly smartphones) inspired by the storied Italian car maker."
OK, maybe a good color for an expensive car, maybe, but not my favorite in a laptop. It also comes in a more subdued black. That aside, this 8.4-pound beast packs a quad-core Intel Sandy Bridge i7, NVIDIA graphics with 3GB (!) of video memory, up to 16GB of RAM, an 8-cell battery, USB 2.0 and 3.0, HDMI-out, a 2MP webcam, and all sorts of storage options, including an SSD of 1.25 terabytes. Pre-order pricing for the VX7 appears to start at $2,269.
