Say buon giorno to the Asus Lamborghini VX2

Asus is still keeping pretty mum about the Lamborghini VX2 they soft-launched at CES, but we've come by a booty load of images and a bit more info about the unit from an Asus Taiwan insider. In its US implementation (supposedly due Q3) it seems the VX2 should, if we understand correctly, pack a 15.4-inch WSXGA+ display, Centrino Pro or Core 2 Extreme, 512mb NVIDIA 8700, have VGA as well as digital out (we spotted U-DVI, although we probably wouldn't rule out HDMI soon), 1394, S/PDIF, 1.3 megapixel camera, be based on the V1 chassis (for compatible docking), and a carbon-fiber shell and fine Italian leather trim for you to sully with your greasy palms. (We hear the Euro version, which should be around in Q2, should have different specs.) Peep the sweet, sweet gallery.

[Thanks, Tony]

"15.4-inch WSXGA+ display, Centrino Pro or Core 2 Extreme, 512mb NVIDIA 8700" and DVI or HDMI

Wow, this baby is pretty much future-proof for the next 3 years at least.

That looks completely and utterly stupid.

[timbob @ Jan 30th 2007 6:46PM]

ugly like a lamborghini too!!

Wow, that gallery of images is nice. I especially love the supple curves of the "Coming Soon" text.

I really don't like the current trend of putting leather on a laptop. It just seems stupid to me. Carbon Fiber, great. Leather sucks.

I wonder how much this behemoth will weigh.

[khang @ Jan 30th 2007 7:34PM]

they should make a 13.3" or 14.1 widescreen w/ same specs. lol.

sign me up for 2.

[j @ Jan 30th 2007 10:21PM]

i second khang... although i would settle for under 5lbs as well

[ntgxtreme @ Jan 31st 2007 7:45PM]

Looks similar in spec and layout as the Acer Ferrari 1000, the Acer weighs 4 lbs., so hopefully this one does too. If so, I rather have the bull than the horse!
