    Hello everyone,
    I just bought the Asus Lamborghini Vx6 week ago and I had a great experience with this netbook. The performance is pretty good and the graphic works like a charm :D . Besides the fact that the wireless goes crazy sometimes but in overall this netbook is good.
    However, I found out the vx6 has 4 core processor but the specification shows that vx6 only has 2 cores. I wonder whether vx6 truly has 4 cores as I have seen and there are 2 cores still not be activated yet.
    Anyone give me explanation plz? If there is a way to use 4 cores, plz instruct me how to activate it!
    Sorry for my english!

    Lol its 4 logical cores (as in it looks like 4 to windows) and 2 physical ones, as the processor in the VX6 (the D525 I believe) is hyperthreaded.

    Look up Intels Hyperthreading for more info.

    I use to have the Asus Vx6 and in terms of looks and sound quality, it is top notch.

    2 things that made me return it back first of all is the cpu eventhough it is dual core, it felt very anemic even when browsing photos and opening programs etc.. didn't feel snappy maybe because it is still an atom. Last one is the damn touchpad, I mean it looks sexy and all but the damn thing is so hard to use because you need to put too much effort into swiping it even after adjusting synaptics sensitivity.

    The Vx6 is one sexy laptop no doubt despite the anemic dual core atom, people will probably buy it for its looks and Lambo logo for a price tag of $650-700. But for me the AMD Fusion Zacate sealed the deal under $500. ;)
