Asus Lamborghini VX2 - A Super Notebook!

Category : Technology

ASUS has bared the latest line-up of ASUS-Lamborghini notebook series with the introduction of the VX2 models. The new super-notebooks not only feature the looks of the Italian iconic exotic cars, they also tend to be at par as far as performance is concerned. Based on the latest Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology and being specially designed for Microsoft Windows Vista operation system, the next generation device offers brand new capabilities in security, performance, reliability, and manageability for an extreme mobile computing and “tactile” experience. Designed with the signature colors of Lamborghini yellow and black, this latest edition also has the special mirror painting surface of the LCD cover. A leather bound palm rest area completed with yellow stitching just like that of a car interior captures the Lamborghini luxury in a new tactile way.

Speakers placed on the sides of the keyboard deliver a distraction-free audio performance. The fan lid of the notebook located on the back adopts the wheel rim concept, giving the practical feature a touch of ingenious creativity. People at Engadget think that it should be packing a 15.4-inch WSXGA+ display, Centrino Pro or Core 2 Extreme, 512mb NVIDIA 8700, have VGA as well as 1394, S/PDIF, 1.3 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, there's no word on when the VX2 will actually ship or its estimated price as of yet.

Spend $230,000 for Gaming PC

Man-made has always has little things it can be proud of when it comes to gadgets. Whether it’s Mr. Crapper’s convenient flushable toilet, or the flexible toothbrush, we’re always raving about the latest released gadgets to our friends, both geeks & non-geeks.

I myself am getting my new PC this coming Monday, valued at $3,500. It’s a pretty impressive rig, but not half as mean as the one I’m about to show you! Matthew Sheil, an amateur pilot living in Sydney, Australia, somehow persuaded his bank to give him a $230,000 ‘moving house’ loan, which he then proceeded to spend on this ultimate Voodoo-PC rig.

“The whole setup is controlled by 13 quad-core Voodoo PCs. For the video the designer has used 42-inch Philips Ambilight LCD screens and for those aircraft controls Matt has got Saitek’s X52 joystick and toggle. The experience inside the simulator is even better than that inside the original cockpit. The simulator pilot will feel the finest detail of piloting a 747 inside the cockpit that even includes the G-Forces, thanks to the high-end hydraulic systems installed in the setup.” says BornRich.org
