There is no denying that this is one of the most souped-up laptops we’ve had our hands on. The high-end specs and large amount of storage is let down by poor battery life, a lack of portability and a look that is definitely an acquired taste. There are cheaper alternatives with similar specs, but If you love Lambo and are looking for a laptop ripe for gaming, the VX7 could be the one for you.

The Lamborghini VX7 takes ASUS' gaming platform and adds prestigious sports car branding and bodywork to the package. It's a desktop replacement notebook that has powerful specs and great user comfort. But we think it's a little underdone and it was also a little temperamental during our tests, just like a real sports car we're guessing.

Trying to decide whether the ASUS Lamborghini VX7 is worth the money is a little difficult. On the one hand, the VX7 has the prestige branding of an iconic sports car manufacturer and looks that are (for better of worse) unparalleled. On the other hand, it's a little underdone: you can get an Alienware M17x, for example, which has slightly better credentials for $2699.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2630QM: Fast Quad-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3.8 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.
