What's black and yellow and reaches 350 km/h? A greased banana? Nope. It's the 390 kW Lamborghini Diablo. And what does the Diablo have in common with a notebook from Asus? It's black and yellow, and they both mount the same badge.

Following the success of Acer's Ferrari notebooks, Asus has jumped into the world of car-computer crossovers and joined up with Italian supercar maker, Lamborghini, to make co-branded powerhouse notebooks.

The flagship model, the VX1, packs plenty of power under the hood with a dual-core Intel processor, 1 GB of RAM and one of the latest NVIDIA GeForce Go three-dimensional chips. It goes from nought to two gigahertz in about a nanosecond.
