Question:
ASUS lamborghini laptop
I've seen some coverage of this beatiful machine but no system specs or release date, anyone have some info? Also any idea what it is going to cost? Haven't seen any pics of the yellow edition either-just the black one.

Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
The first model and only model to be released in the next 3 months is the model based on the V6 series........ specs are going to be similiar to the V6j, but configuration will most likely be higher end - faster cpu, more ram, faster/larger hard drives....
... the Lambo line will be known as the "VX" series...... Cost is going to be between an arm and a leg... ETA I believe isn't set, but I'd say about two months.

That is a nice looking machine though probably too rich for my blood.

Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
It's going to be a lot like just getting a maxed out system - which is expensive --- doing it to an ensemble, which is more... and having the special pricing of anything that's limited in nature.........
.... I think these will probably be the ultimate in terms of high-end ... not just from asus, but anyone.

Do you think it will break the 3grand mark?
Answer:
Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
Depends on the configuration, but if you price it out now....... a V6va that is maxed out w/ say a 2.26ghz cpu / 2gb of DDR2 533 / 120gb/5400rpm HDD --- is going to go for about $2,800.00......... If you figure on a 100gb/7200rpm - that would push that to at least $2,900.00.
Now I'm figuring both of these with a 3 year warranty - because I think that's what they're going to go with. I can't imagine them using the TOP end cpu, or a 100gb/7200rpm hard drive.......... but I think they might be appropriate for this series. If that's the case - figure in a couple hundred more for the Napa model --- and a couple hundred at least for the "lamborghini" version.........
So.. if they go with the top end cpu and top end hard drive...... It will EASILY be over 3 grand...... I think as much as $3,500..... If they drop down to the 2nd fastest cpu and say a 120gb/5400rpm hard drive...... I think you could take off probably $400 *maybe* $500... but I think we'd still be looking at breaking 3k.

Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
Im willing to spend more for a nicer machine but to me $3500 is a waste for a laptop. Just because i upgrade so often that its not worth the loss. But i guess we will see what the prices are when they come out.
Answer:
Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
Well, like I said... it is going to have a LOT to do with the configuration. Right now the standard V6va is $2,000..... but just maxing out the cpu, ram, hard drive can jump you up at least another $800.
I for one next suggest using the top end cpu o buying more than you need...... but this is going to be a different animal. For you, you may rather have barebones and just swap your parts over to a new system - you upgrade so often........ but these models are looking for an entirely new audience altogether.

Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
Well I'll be in the market for a new machine soon (months-1yr) I've looked at the ferrari by acer which had a great price and looks but it was a bit weak for instance its hd was only 5400rpm
Also what kind of graphics do you think it'll be packing? And how much will it weigh/battery life?
I like to buy high end and keep for a few years before upgrading. Plus Asus has a great reputation whereas acer I don't like nearly as much.

Re: ASUS lamborghini laptop
Well it's undetermined at this point as Asus doesn't even have finalized designs on the 2nd or 3rd models in the line...... and this first model based off the V6 was basically just painted up for CES with the new lid...... the insides are going to be similiar to the V6j and cpu, hdd, ram aren't even in the picture yet. Asus will simply say it's going to be "expensive" and it's going to be limited and see how it catches on. That makes me believe that may go all out with this model as they are only going to target a small group of people to get the word out on this new line......... once that happens they hope to get into more models once the word has spread.
