Asus Lamborghini stylish VX3 with car

This laptop has an attractive design from color to material that is impressive by sound effects. However, its handling ability is not as strong as the same brand car.

The leather sleeve and rugged keyboard of the VX3.

Asus Lamborghini VX3 is built on the model of the famous car of the same name with yellow and black covering the whole body. The product has an elegant beauty with leather wrapped all the rest for the wrist on the keyboard. This leather section has a prominent yellow sewing thread that describes the car tire.

The device is equipped with special sound effects to highlight Lamborghini properties. When using Windows Vista operating system, every time the logo light flashes quickly, a car engine sound is like "roaring" in preparation for departure.

The size and shape of the VX3 is quite similar to the Asus U6S - a line of ultraportable leather notebooks. The top of the VX3 is glossy gold with a embossed Lamborghini logo. 12.1-inch screen, shiny 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution looks very nice, but the ability to capture light is easily blinding when facing inappropriate views or outdoors.

The keyboard layout is very solid with "solid" keys and is not shifted when hand-operated. Like the U6S, it also doesn't have a shortcut for media apps and volume controls, but only a small button for adjusting different battery saving modes.

It is equipped with HDMI high-speed image and audio port next to 4 USB ports. Comes with connectivity features like Bluetooth and ExpressCard reader slots.

The screen is shiny but easily glare if reflected by light.

Although the Lamborghini car brand is quite "high" in terms of power, the VX3's performance is not as good as it should be. Although supported by the 2.5 Ghz T9300 CPU and discrete graphics card, it can't match the Macbook Air and Acer Ferrari 1100.

The test of multitasking performance, graphics with Photoshop CS3, the VX3 is behind the two models. However, only the music file conversion with Apple iTunes tool is above all.

Battery uptime when running DVD (in minutes).

It currently has 2 versions with 2 GB or 4 GB RAM. The ability to handle graphics is also quite good with discrete graphics card of Geforce 9300M giant Nvidia.

Besides, the VX3 is equipped with a 3-cell battery, so the operation time is not long. With this default battery, it can only play DVD music in less than an hour. This is the most picky point for ultraportable laptops.

Asus Lamborghini VX3 is being sold in Vietnam for about 64 million VND with the configuration: 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 9300M G VGA, 12.1 inch screen, Window Vista Ultimate.
