I have been really impressed with the ASUS computers lately. From the small, portable ASUS Eee PC's, to their higher end models like the LAMBORGHINI VX3, they are well built and contain minimal excess software to slow the system down.

Here is the LAMBORGHINI VX3

The FP8 has leather on the front

They come with some great DVD authoring tools and facial recognition software and some even have built in 270 degree pivot web cams.

Although I've never used an ASUS I love their prices, it looks like you get a lot of BANG for your BUCK.

I'm looking at the LAMBORGHINI and what a unique design that is, I kinda like it! Not quite sure on the Yellow but yah.

The F8P however is REALLY nice, I love the look of that one! *drools*
Did they just say on the website that it comes in leather

- probably for style, eh?

I REALLY like the look of that F8P but the remote control looks kinda awkward, and the way they have put the camera, that doesn't look good either, I give it a 7/10

I like i' a lo'!

LAMBORGHINI is also available in black. THe F8P just has a strip of leather across the top. And, be honest, how often do you actually USE a remote for a laptop??? lol The camera pivots around so it can face you, or away from you...also used for the facial recognition software...it also comes with a biometric fingerprint reader...so no more forgotten passwords!!

I would use the remote a hell of a lot if it had a tv tuner, that's partly why I want the dragon, I don't have to buy a TV, plus it has the HDTV tuner which I also have never had anything in HD. I WOULD use it a lot personally in my free time.

As for the F8P, do you mean like the top of the lid?

oh, it also comes with a fingerprint reader? that's cool

As for the camera, that's not to bad then, eh?

Always wanted to buy the LAMBORGHINI,never could.

I don't hate ASUS but I'm not a fan. There is almost no doubt they offer the best price/performance products. "Bang for your bucks!"

The lamborghini is their high-end notebook. But it's realy so expensive that the price/performance is almost worthless. You pay much for not much. But maybe this is everywhere @ high-end stuff. For that little extra you pay much more

sushrukh · 05-23-2008, 08:08 PM

Yeah you know, technology always comes at a price.I'm actually very fan of Asus motherboards.I think their service or after sales support is crap but luckily i didn't have to RMA my Asus boards yet.

Larrabee · 05-24-2008, 03:52 PM

I mean if you go low-end you buy for example $50. When you go mid-range and performance is doubled price is about $110 (+$10 more) but when you go high-end the price will be aroud $300-400 (with double performance of mid-range). The top is always very expensive for the little more you get.
But that's not only in the computer industry.
