Lamborghini and Intel are teaming up on a laptop

All the cool kids car makers have their own laptop line, so Lamborghini is teaming up with Intel to intro a portable that we hope can improve on the Ferrari and Hummer attempts. Not that those weren't wonderful examples of portable design, but it looks like Lamborghini is going to be doing more than just slapping their logo on, since they're already buddy buddy with Intel due to their usage of Intel parts inside their cars. Neither company is in the laptop distribution business so Lamborghini will be selling these lapsters in their online store next year. CNET Asia is expecting a good bit of next-gen intel chipsets in it which should be fun, and while the picture to the right is just a doctored pic of a Acer notebook, we'd just like to remind the guys at Lamborghini product design that this isn't a car mmkay? Like, for instance, we're not really concerned about crumple zones and roll-over ratings here, it's a freaking computer guys.

damn, I'm sure Lambo and Apple could have made a sweet-ass powerbook, too.

You know who will buy this laptop? The guys who already have the Lamborghini jacket, gloves, keychains and sunglasses, and drive early '90's Nissan's that they park 2 blocks away from the Starbucks ;-)

So true. But the Acer Ferrari is a sweet laptop, and hopefully this new one will be as well. I know, spending and extra couple hundred bucks for a branding is kinda silly... but hey, it sure is fun!

It needs a scoop nose and side air vents! WHEELS!! IT NEEDS WHEELS!! How many times have you had to try to push a rubber-grip-bottomed laptop across the table? Ooh, leather keys would be cool (seriously).

How about a Wifi boosting motor driven antenna? The startup chime would be a Lamborghini engine growl. Sexxxy sexxxy.

I have Acer Ferrari and I want Inter Lamborghini :)

Ooh, I can wait to see how they implement the scissor doors concept for opening up the laptop...

I�m looking forward to some kind of gull wing design for the display, or maybe the keyboard.

Of course, it needs to be the fastest notebook money can buy IF you keep it tuned to perfection.
