ASUS Lamborghini VX3 A1Y user reviews
The good:
Solid construction; leather detailing; cool branded extras.
The bad:
Kind of slow for a laptop named after a race car; expensive; poor battery life.
The bottom line:
The Asus Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood. "
Good: Great looks Well-designed keyboard
Bad: Expensive Average performer
The VX3 is a good addition to the ranks of the Lamborghini family of laptops. It offers a solid sense of ownership, but suffers in terms of its overall performance and a simply atrocious battery. The disservice is compounded by its cost of Rs 1,86,000. Though it’s a premium product, it barely pips the Asus U6S which costs about half as much and has equally good styling.
All said and done, I would advise you to steer clear of the VX3. At its price point, this laptop should have been an outperformer... but sadly, it feels more like a sportscar that's running on petrol fumes. "
Yes the VX3 is pricey, even overpriced, but what does that matter? It's a Lambourghini for goodness sake! There's nothing out there you can buy that's quite the same.
"
Pros: design, low weight, a actual GPU in a ultraportable
Cons: 3 GB or ram, i like either 2 or 4 GB
Summary: Congratulations to CNET for making up scores to max this 2.5 GHz penryn laptop seem slower than a macbook air."
Pros: Ultra-fast; exceptional construction; all the right ports; huge hard drive.
Cons: Battery-hungry; large AC adaptor; LCD only slightly above-average.
Summary: The VX3 is the perfect notebook for a power-user or enthusiast who wants desktop performance on the road.
The Asus VX3 is an amazing performer for its size, and truly gives portability without sacrificing power. If you need desktop power and functionality on the go, but don't want to lug a 10 lb monster, this is the notebook for you. At 3.7 lbs, it's very portable, and the dimensions are only slightly larger than the smallest ultraportables.
For those that want a slick-looking laptop, it doesn't get much better; the Asus VX3 is very stylish, and its distinctive finish draws as many comments and glances as a MacBook Air."
