14 DAY TRIAL // Three months after it made its debut in other parts of the world, the Asus-Automobili VX7 racing inspired notebook has finally arrived in the UK where it is prepared to meet the needs of hard-core gaming fans.
Asus' laptop is built around a Full HD 15.6-inch display and its design is inspired by the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, as the notebooks styling retains the sports car's aerodynamic and aggressive stance as well as some custom color schemes that remind us of Lamborghini's creation.
On the inside, the hardware used is just as powerful as the LP640 since Asus went with an Intel Core i7 2630QM processor paired together with a maximum of 16GB of RAM (8GB standard).
The Core i7 2630QM is one of the fastest mobile Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs available in Intel's mobile range and packs four processing cores clocked at 2GHz (up to 2.9GHz in Turbo Mode) backed by Intel's Hyper-Threading technology and by 6MB of Level 3 cache memory.
Graphics is handled by an Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 GPU paired together with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM and the laptop can also be configured with a wide variety of storage solutions that can provide up to 1.5TB of disk capacity.
The rest of the Asus Lamborghini VX7 feature list includes a Blu-ray combo drive, a 2 MP webcam, a 8-in-1 card reader as well as a built-in Azalia compliant audio chip which is seconded by a pair of stereo speakers and a digital array microphone.
Connectivity wise, the gaming notebook features 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.1 support and Asus has also added a USB 3.0 port as well as HDMI and VGA video outputs.
Including the 8-cell 5200mAh 75Whrs battery, the whole notebook weighs no less than 3.82kg.
The Asus Lamborghini VX7 is already available for purchase from Micro Anvika and Amazon UK and its base price is set at £1,999.
