    I have read the post that speculated the spec's of the VX1, and surprisingly they were for the most part correct:

    Specifications
    Platform: Intel Centrino Duo
    CPU: Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 (2.0 ghz)
    Chipset: Intel 945PM
    WLAN: Intel 3945ABG
    LCD Screen: Colour Shine Glare Type 15" SXGA + (1400 x 1050)
    Graphics: nVIDIA GeForce 7400/ 512MB Turbocache
    HDD: 120GB
    ODD: DVD 9.5" Super-Multi Double Layer
    RAM: 1GB DDRII – 667 MHz
    OS: Windows XP Professional

    Although a past post said this information before, ASUS is confirming it.

    The only difference that i see is the 512 turbocached 7400 versus the 256 turbocached on the v6j, I am a bit disapointed.

    Heres the official link (the article was released 5/2/06, yesterday):

    ^Funny, as soon as I saw the title I said "I bet the only response is a correction of the spelling".

    Here I stand. Correct.

    This Lamborghini model... Gee, that's a really sad notebook to carry such a grandeur name.

    The V6J is a nice notebook in it's own right, although I agree it's not the one I would have chosen to base the VX1 on... perhaps the V1J would have been a better option. Now if they'd gone to the 7600 like the A8Jm or even the 7800, that would be a lot better.

    It's really cool competition against acer's Ferrari 4000 notebook (in terms of style, anyway).

    meh, spelling is not my strong suit. Spell check is my friend (but not that annoying paper clip, he can go away). :D
