ASUS will be adding a new thin-and-light notebook to its burgeoning
ASUS-Lamborghini range in the form of the VX3.
Sporting an extensive use of high-end materials, including liberal
sprinklings of carbon fibre, the VX3 packs in a 12.1in screen
(1280x800, sadly), a Penryn-based Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce
9300 discrete GPU, and a 160GB hard drive as standard. Interestingly,
the ASUS blurb documented that it was the only thin-and-light laptop
capable of seamless DX10 gaming. We, however, are not so sure that it
would be seamless - Crysis, anyone?
The sample shown above, resident at the Microsoft booth, may not be
indicative of final-build quality, we were informed.
Expect it to cost around $2,499 when it goes on sale in a couple of
months' time. Also expect the usual esoteric packaging that befits the
luxurious laptop line.
The show model was equipped with an extended battery and, at a
complete guess, weighed around 2.5kg, making it a little porky for a
12.1in thin-and-light, frankly.
It's always nice to see a manufacturer do something a little different
from the norm, but the asking price, given the specifications, is a
little too high, even if we factor in the 'wow' factor of a limited-run
laptop.
