    Thanks for posting this!

    Hm . . doesn't look that special, like an Asus notebook had a Lambo badge slapped onto it.

    I think it would have been cool in a glossy yellow color. ;) But, that's just me.

    Thanks again.

    :( They don't look THAT good - they look O.K. I concur with Chaz - they look like a regular Asus with a few extra gadgets, a small paintjob, and a Lambo badge slapped on the lid. Hopefully Asus will come out with some original designs for the Lambo line.

    It's not just Lambo 'branded' like the Ferrari, Lambo actually participated in the design, etc.


    Let's just see what other models come..
