    Its a high end but expensive Asus model, there are many variations of it.

    I do not think they have any new version of it out yet tho so I would probably wait just awhile if you really want one for a refresh.

    The current Asus Lambo notebooks....
    Asus VX3 = 12" notebook (Intel T9500 2.6GHz, 9300M, 3gb ram)
    Asus VX2 = 15" noteook (Intel T7700 2.40GHz, 8600M GT, 2gb ram)

    These notebooks are basically branded with the Lambo logo along with many accessories that also bears the logo. Both are equally overpriced for what the hardware is worth, and you're basically purchasing the Lamborghini brand name. Ken from Gentechpc did a small review for the VX3 a few months ago, so you could contact him and see if gentech has any stock left. Though they are quite stylish and has a luxurious aura to it :)

    I haven't heard anything about it. Again, you could ask a reseller for more up to date information.

    Wonder if I can send this to Asus and talk them into doing it...
    Kind of like the Hotwheels Corvette, those people get that car for free just because the logo on it.
