ASUS-Lamborghini VX2S Review - PC Mag

PC Magazine have published a review of the feature-rich ASUS-Lamborghini VX2S laptop. 'Given all the professional detailing and heavier metals it uses, the VX2S weighs more than most laptops in its class. It tips the scales at 7 pounds, almost 2 pounds heavier than the 5.3-pound Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch—and this is coming from the company that designs the Apple chassis. It's heavier than the HP Pavilion dv6500t (5.8 pounds) and the Toshiba Qosmio F45-AV425 (6.8 pounds), both of which have similar footprints. The VX2S's 15.4-inch widescreen is the glossy type that does a fine job of displaying high-resolution photos and movie clips.

The glare coming from the screen, however, is not that convenient for office productivity applications. Its 1,680-by-1,050 resolution is higher than that of both the MacBook Pro (1,440 by 900) and the HP dv6500t (1,280 by 800), making it a better candidate for high-definition content. Too bad the VX2S doesn't come with an HD DVD drive. The keyboard experience is almost flawless, but I'm not a big fan of the extremely hard-to-press mouse buttons.'
