Asus Lamborghini VX3

The Lamborghini VX3 is Asus' newest miniature gaming laptop. Built for the smallest of niches, and costing over $3000, the VX3 is the definition of luxury for the hardcore gamer with a fat wallet and a weak back. Sporting a 12.1" screen, and weighing only 3.7 pounds, the VX3 still has enough power to play todays most demanding games at acceptable framerates. Poor battery life with such powerful componentry coupled with a small battery would generally be the end result for such a device, however, this is not the case with the VX3, beating out the X300 for battery life. Comes in black or yellow.
