Review Asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6

When the sports car is still a dream a dream, a netbook is nuanced race may satisfy the pent-up dreams.  

If all this we are quite tired of seeing a netbook or notebook product that looks almost uniform and the "it-that" it is now time to glance at the different products. For example, the netbook in a particular theme tailored to the tastes of the market. One such product is labeled EeePC VX6 Automobili-Lamborghini, a manufacturer of luxury Italian sports car.

Terinpirasi VX6 design of a sports car Lamborghini Murcielago LP460. You are fond of car games certainly familiar with the character of the Murcielago with a very impressive engine power and design of nuance sport thick. This image is carried Asus VX6. Cover and every physical detail is made ​​in conformity with the contour of the Murcielago. We easily recognize the shape of a spoiler, hood, and typical interior Murcielago which comes with a distinctive angled cut.

Despite the aura of racing highlighted by a thick, VX6 Lamborghini-style does not carry the tight specification of the class notebook. Yes, VX6 only netbook with Atom D525 1.8 GHz which is more appropriate for lightweight computing. But dual-core Atom CPU series D used this device actually is the highest grade Atom, VX6 presumably used it to deliver fast-performing netbook. Fortunately, the combination of 4 GB of DDR3 memory at netbook sailing 12 "provides a meaningful additional power.

To be able secitra graphics capabilities with the racing atmosphere, VX6 use 2 graphics chip: the type of integrated Intel GMA 3150 and through a separate species with nVidia Ion. With Optimus technology from nVidia, power management is set as necessary. When you wish to "drag" to display 3D graphics, graphics chip and will be transferred to the ions back to the onboard Intel GMA when running Office applications. Dual-graphics systems it makes the battery power consumed by the needs / activities of the wearer.

Although his performance impressed "wow", there is a little disturbing weaknesses in the netbook weighs 1.5 kg. Maybe because it used to the layout of a conventional keyboard, we were a little awkward using a keyboard with a unique layout that seems commonly used in Europe. It looks at several different characters and symbols with different positions. For example, the position of @ and # characters are converted to close the Enter key. But of course this is just a matter of unfamiliarity is not it?

In terms of performance, using VX6 actually not much different from the netbook dual-core processors in the same class. But it must be admitted that this image of Lamborghini-style netbook-class luxury car manufacturer according to the popularity of luxury. Cool again, each lit will be heard the roar of the Murciélago engine that will keep colleagues around glancing admiringly. If indeed looking netbook that emphasizes sportsmanship different styles, Lamborghini VX6 will represent the spirit of the
