ASUS Lamborghini VX5 - Inspired by speed

The Lamborghini Reventón has a 6,5-liter V12 engine, a real monster. Clearly, the VX5 can’t be ashamed of the fort demonstration either, but rest assured, it won’t! The notebook is powered by a Core 2 Q9000 quad-core mobile processor with a 2 GHz baseband, 1066 MHz FSB and 6 MB cache. Next to such a central unit, of course, is the latest chipset possible, so give yourself the PM45 Express and ICH9M. The amount and quality of system memory is also up-to-date, with 4GB of 1066MHz DDR3 found in the Lambo, making it possible to drive RAMs in sync with the processor. The portable power plant is, of course, equipped with a discrete MXM interface graphics card, which is a GeForce GT 130M 1 GB with its own GDDR3 memory. That’s not a bad thing, but here we expected a little more from the VX5 for that name and price. The GPU is 55 nm, contains 32 shading units, has a 128-bit memory bus and a clock speed of 625/1563/1400 MHz. The card is DirectX 10, CUDA, PhysX and SLI compatible.

Again, you don’t have to be ashamed of storage, as a total of 1TB of hard drive space is available thanks to the two 500GB Seagate Momentus. The optical drive isn't a sponge cake either, although it can only write DVDs, but it also handles Blu-ray discs at the reading level. Almost everything is given in the field of communication, WiFi, Blutetooth and LAN are present, but in a model of this caliber we might expect the HSDPA module as well, but it has not been incorporated. We haven’t talked about one important thing yet, and that is the display. The LCD has a screen size of 16,1 inches, a resolution of 1920 × 1080 (FULL HD) and an aspect ratio of 16: 9. The type of panel used is TN + film, about the quality a little later.
