    I need a fast, multimedia laptop with amazing looks and fantastic build quality. I'd like it to be made of aluminium or carbon fibre or something like that and to be either a 14.1" or a 15.4"
    It needs to be quiet and run cool.
    I'd like a good keyboard and touchpad as i won't use an external one.
    I'm not too keen on the V1J as most reviewers don't complement it highly.
    Good value is important but if its worth it, my budget is about $3500 +
    I dont like the G1 as it looks OTT (im not keen on the "gamer Look"
    Could iit be also linked to a review if poss.

    Thanx very Much.

    V1Jp is an excellent laptop.The only problem it has is the Battery wear.If you review every laptop that thoroughly that was done in the review,you will find many problems that people other people might not care about.
    If you really are willing to spend that much money.Consider ASUS Lamborgini VX2, it has superb build quality and is already out.

    How about the Lamborghini Vx2. Nothing beats it. In terms of performance, looks, nothing comes close.

    The battery wear is also more of a software problem. There is no actual harm done to the battery, in the V1Jp. Still, considering your budget and requirements, I'm convinced that the Vx2 is a better choice.
