    GREAT LAPTOP.

    • Good: STAND OUT IN A CROWD AT THE AIRPORT PRIVATE LOUNGE. PEOPLE CAN'T HELP BUT LOOK WITH ENVY AT THE BADGE.
    • Bad: CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT PRICE WHEN YOU WANT TO BE A STEP ABOVE THE REST.

    Be careful potential buyers. I bought this VX in high expectation as an Industrial Designer but within 1 month it broke down due to "overheating" problems as ASUS told me. Send it off for repairs and get it back a month later! Then the problem still exists but the repair centre added some nice scratches on top of the beuatiful black Galliardo finish! Another month off for repairs and CRC, ASUS's repair centre in the UK (absolutely incompetent) have still not managed to deliver it through City Link. I'm still waiting for the unit to come back to me as we write. You may think this is a vengful review, yes it is but seriously do you really wanna go through that much trouble when you spend that much money? Imagine you buy a Lamborghini that breaks down due to the engine overheating and then you send it off for repairs and get it back with scratches all over the paintwork. Not great and you would definitely not be happy. I'm stuck with this now so I have to wait but I'm just trying to tell those people who are considering this that this is what could happen and a MacBook Pro running windows on bootcamp looks tempting nice now. It has now been in for servicing longer than I've actually used the unit.

    • Good: Great outside Design and Finish. If it was working it'de be a fantastic laptop.
    • Bad: Inside is probably ill-designed with overheating problems. BAD - very bad Customer service from ASUS and their repair centre.

    a ricer...for show, not for go

    had it had widescreen and a core 2 duo option, i would have forked out the extra $500.

    • Good: extremely sexy...Possibly even more so than my W3J...but only marginally. Great about the hard-drive...except any wealthy (middle aged, ahem) business man doesnt play games too often and hence doesn't need around 80 of those gigs. Great graphics card
    • Bad: Processor?!?!?! Why a 2.0gHz core duo? What about a merom option. What about atleast a 2.2gHz option. And it badly needs widescreen.
