    Based on the already mind-blowing Republic of Gamers G53Jw gaming notebook, the 15.6-inch ASUS Lamborghini VX7 isn’t just as powerful as ASUS’ top of the line gaming notebook – it surpasses it.

    Powered by a 2.0GHz Intel Core i7-2630QM quad-core processor, a staggering 16GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GTX 460M graphics with an unprecedented 3GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, the VX7 is the fastest notebook ASUS has ever made.

    Would this cost like a Lamborghini? I admit, I drooled when i saw this :eek: . :)

    The 460M isn't powerful enough to play games at a level that would fill 1.5GB of ram, so why are they wasting money putting 3GB in there?

    Might be nice if it was a 17", but the 15" always felt just a hair too small for me (thats what she said. :p)

    True. I don't get it why they have to release a 3gb 460m.

    To have over the top specs i would guess... which is funny, because a 485M w/ 2GB would be far more impressive, but i suspect it would be a tad much heat...

    Thats all fine and dandy, but putting the Lambo emblem and name on it and charging 2x what it should cost is crazy.

    How much this cost?!
    Looks like Asus is finally stepping into the boutique market a la alienware.
    There may some 3d workstation apps that can take advantage of the extra ram-just guessing.

    It is not crazy, it is for certain people that has taste and money, that's like saying Rolex is not for you or Mercedez/Ferrari not for me so i'll settle for a Ford or Toyota

    They are targeted for niche product users that want something extra (cool design/logo, exclusiveness)

    Life is too short if you have the money and if you like it and dig it then why not buy it, and if you don't like it don't buy it simple as that :)

    Perhaps its because i am not a millionaire, but i can't understand the (lack) of rationality in purchasing something because of a logo. I have a Casio ABC watch, that does tons more than a Rolex, and yet it was priced at a fraction of cost. I might understand if say the Rolex did more, but it just keeps time.. why throw money away like that?

    I know what you mean bro believe me, i'm not saying to throw away money, but there are things in life that makes people happy, like why do women love buying jewelries and diamonds or expensive purses, same thing in this situation. You have an option and a choice in life, for similar spec you can buy the g53 for less than half the price of the Lambo but some people will still choose Lambo because they like it no matter the cost.

    If you are also trying to court a girl you are inlove with and she is pretty, I mean you would try and take her to a decent restaurant right? why would you be cheap and get her a $1 double cheeseburger menu if you are trying to win her heart
