Asus Lamborghini: $4,000 Windows Vista Laptop from 2007

After Acer began selling Ferrari laptops in the mid 2000s, it wasn't long before competing companies followed suit with their own branded computers! This is one of them, the Asus Lamborghini VX2S from 2007. Specifically the Ultimate Bundle, which cost roughly $4,000 on launch!

First the Ferrari, then the Corvette, now the Lamborghini.. How many times will LGR flex his exotic cars on us??!

I remember drooling over this thing, as silly as it was.

My god, 2007 was 15 years ago...

I am glad that you are covering more and more mid 2000's tech lately because that is one era that rarely gets any attention. That's when a lot of the unusual and wacky designs made their appearance but just few years later it all vanished and nobody is talking about it

[CommandLineVulpine]

Funny how fast tech was evolving then though.

My 2009 bargain bin laptop had about the same specs as this just 2 years later

As soon as a YouTuber hits it big, they buy a new house and a Lamborghini.

It’s like, you’re following the checklist, but you’re missing the point.

You've shown us the quirks and features. Very good.

I loved how many port options you still had on laptops in circa 07.

This brings back some memories. We had one of these at work in 2007, because we needed a Vista laptop that was fast enough to do h.264 acceleration in GPU shaders.

It was such a pain to have to travel with this luggable, and we had to pack it into a hard shell Pelco case and check it in at the airport. But hey, it made for impressive video tech demos in 2007!

Can you imagine arriving with this laptop at work and it making the engine revving sound every time you turn it on, haha.

Agreed on the look though. Not a bad idea either to have a leather surface, it's something you touch everyday for extended periods.

When I was working in a small computer shop in the late 2000s, one of the techs had the Acer Ferrari laptop. Always thought it was hilarious, the worst combo of the most prestigious car brand and a crappy Acer laptop. The shop we worked at were Acer sellers back then, so we that's what we sold, and they were just not good. Also, they had probably the worst warranty system of any manufacturer I've ever experienced. They would just LOSE laptops all the time, it was crazy.

I just love, that you used this gorgeous photo of the Carina Nebula taken by the James Webb Space Telescope as the background image! 💖
I've been using it on all of devices since the release of this photo.

Seeing an HDMI port on this laptop really struck home how old that standard is, one that we even use today on modern computers and laptops!

[krfett]

Cant express how much 2007 is stuck in my head… I changed school that year and my dad (live him to death) got remarried… so seeing tech from 2007 makes me relive this confusing, yet astounding time of my life relive again…
Thanks lGR 👌🏼

[rynomuncher]

The webcam video and audio genuinely made me burst out laughing! The pitch change caught me so off guard haha

[LargeNuts]

Props for having one of the newly released first shot James Webb images as the wallpaper! Anyone else notice? :)

Seeing Windows Vista on this laptop makes me want that OS back again. I remember playing Purble Place and Mahjong Titans on a Win Vista HP laptop gifted to my grandpa, with him working on his desktop PC beside me. The memories, and the design beauty of Vista. Perhaps I was too young to understand the alleged performance issues it showed.

It comes with 32 bit Windows because if you bought this in 2007, you were a 50+ year old Executive who needed to run 16 bit apps.

[DavisMakesGames]

Hah, these limited run "laptops of the 1%" are always interesting to see. And inside it looks just like a regular Asus of the era!
Edit: Glad to see UT2004 tested! My favorite title, runs great on my GeForce 6800.

LGR, your videos get me through the day. I've recently started a new job and it's been a tough transition, but when I put your videos on while I work, I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend excitedly telling me all of his nerdy/gaming/computer stuff. You don't know how much it helps. Sorry for the sappy comment, just thought you should know how much your channel means to me. Stay classy, dude ;)

I worked for a very large laptop re-seller in the UK during this period, and we sold the Acer 'Ferrari' version of this laptop. During the 3 years I worked there, we sold about 3, IIRC.
