Reg Hardware have published a review of the Asus Lamborghini VX5 desktop-replacement laptop. 'The VX5 comes in black or white and declares its heritage with a Lambo bull badge in the middle of the lid and shallow louvres behind. Open it up and there are a number of other trim tweaks, such as leather covers to the wrist rests in front of the keyboard and metal trim around the edges. There's a smooth ceramic touchpad and a conspicuous button to the left of the keys, marked 'speed'. The button switches between ordinary 'Entertainment Mode' and 'Twin Turbo Mode', which overclocks the FSB by 100Hz and the video chip by 25MHz, but only when the VX5 is plugged into the mains. It didn't seem to make much difference during testing, but the machine ran pleasantly cool in both modes, though it's one for the desktop, not the lap.
