    Hello.

    Six months ago I bought Asus Lamborghini VX2 in bright yellow. Amazing piece of art I have to say. But unfortunately even here there are some issues that I want to solve.

    First issue is sudden loss of power. It occurs 2-3 times a week. The way it happens is very simple. First my laptop gets just too hot on the right side where the fan is located. If you touch it from the bottom you wouldn't be able to keep your hand there for more than five seconds. After that it would just switch off.
    Then I wait 10 minutes until it cools down. Then I switch it on and it NEVER loses power for the second time after it happens.

    Second issue is about battery. When I am on the internet with wi-fi on (all including Bluetooth is off) and I am just reading stuff it won't last more than 1 HOUR. After one hour battery is totally empty and I have to plug it in otherwise it loses power.
    So it this normal?

    Thank you.

    I would say the answer to those two questions are no, and no. I would contact Asus and send it in for repair.

    about your first issue, do you think purchasing a cooling pad might solve the issue? the lamborghinis are known to put out a lot of heat. try to use it in a cooler place too and see if that stops the problem

    your second issue seems normal for a high end laptop like your lamborghini. do you know if your laptop uses a 6-cell or 8-cell battery?? if it's six cell, then the eight cell should give you about 30 minutes extra uptime.

    Well, I mean when I pay so much for such laptop I am expecting to work everything precisely, so I don't think I am looking into buying "extra" stuff.
