ASUS' Lamborghini VXS2 laptop given a Santa Rosa shine
No official word from ASUS yet, but Italian site Notebookitalia has it that the Santa Rosa class Lamborghini VX2S will be out in June. The update to the 15.4-inch VX2 brings a new 2.4GHz T7700 Core 2 Duo proc, Blu-ray Disc drive, and 512MB of NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics to a list of specs which includes draft-N WiFi, 2GB DDR2 memory, and a 160GB disk spinning at 5400rpm. Rounding things out are HDMI, e-SATA, ExpressCard, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 2.8-kg weight when fitted with the 8 cell (5200mAh) battery. Much to love... or loath depending upon your taste for these niche, co-branded products.

All those nice specs, but only a 5400rpm hard drive? Come on now. I realize that hard drive speed isn't all-important, but if you're going to sell an ostensibly top-of-the-line machine, at least make sure all the components are top of the line.

i would love this machine if it had all branding removed. the design is nice, i just don't want to have "Asus" and "Lamborghini" as well as the Lambo symbol plastered all over. that's just tacky and pointless. as if there wasnt enough branding-overkill in this world already.

Now we're talkin'. I loved the VX2 and these upgrades just make it even better. I just wish they'd offer the option of a W-UXGA screen, especially in light of the Blu-ray drive.
But everything else is perfect!
And personally, I love the badging and the carbon fiber.
I was planning on buying a VX2; now the VX2S is the one on my list!
