The nearest I may ever get to being able to afford a Lamborghini is the Asus-Lamborghini VX7 notebook PC unveiled in San Francisco on Thursday.
The VX7 was shown off next to the cars appropriately, in the city’s Lamborghini showroom, and some of its design features – including tail lights! – bore striking similarities.
The pricing is very different though. At $2,300 for this limited-edition machine, it is expensive for a notebook, but cheap next to cars costing 100 times as much.
The VX7 has some top-of-the-range features that help justify its own price – a quad-core Intel i7 processor, separate Nvidia graphics card, two 750Gb hard drives, a Blu-ray writer and a 15.6in Full HD screen to name a few.
So, a similar computing performance to the cars’ powerful engines and, as far as looks go, there are features such as a power button styled as an engine start key, palm rests with leather trim, a casing that resembles the car’s bonnet and those red tail lights on the rear vents.
Asus has been bringing out Lamborghini special editions with the car maker since 2006 and expects gamers and executives to drive away at high speed with the limited number of VX7s available.
