    The added price mainly comes from the new designed Lambo lid, and paint job.

    Also the higher specs in the system which also bring the price up.
    Look a 160Gb 5400 rpm HD :D
    2GB of Ram

    It all add up, plus the high quality ASUS Product with a Lambo Emblem.

    Pricey, but 1.66->2.0, 1gb->2gb, 100gb->160gb, GPU(Overclocked, but meh), 1 yr warrantee to 2 year warrantee, the Lambo painted lid and lastly, 1 YEAR Zero Bright Dot policy.

    Worth the extra $900? Perhaps, if you look closely at the stats, but its still expensive.

    For buyers of these two models, price is not the question, they are looking for uniqueness. It is like some handbags, do you think they should cost $1000? but they have their market.

    People think the Ferrari series is overpriced (which it is not), But this is re-freakin'-diculous. I would have to actually have the lambo first before getting the matching notebook.
    I'd like to see the real-world performance difference between the lambo and the V6 before making a final judgement though.
