Acer Ferrari VS: Asus Lamborghini - Page 2

Exactly what I was going to say!!!! If memory serves me correctly I don't even think there is one Intel sponsored car in Formula 1. Granted I am sure a few teams might use intel equipment but I don't recall any official intel sponsorship.. which is likely because intel does pretty much focus their main advertising dollars at the American consumer first...and the vast majority of American race fans are only into Nascar

Edit: Intel is a sponsor of Toyota..

The pics are of the 1st of 3 Lambos to be released this year. The next 2 will be original designs with input and design from Lamborghini. I'm guessing this one was slapped onto the v6v so they would have something to show at CES.

And if slapping a logo onto your top of the line chassis is cheap, then Asus beats Acer ... at least this Lambo got a custom lid, the Ferrari just got paint and some rubber bits.

Ummm...

what about the redesigned, carbon fiber lid? (not much of a redesign..but it was something)

the rubber covering was NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. If I could have that rubber covering w/ an IBM keyboard, I'd be in heaven.

ahh yes!

but can these machines go from OFF to Windows Desktop in 3.7secs like the vehicles?!

that would truly be awesome.

ASUS has already said that most of the new laptops they produce (if not all) will be REFRESHES of older models.
For Example

ASUS Z70v -> ASUS Z70va
ASUS V6v -> ASUS V6va -> v6j (Lambo)

So yah...

I am an ASUS Fan, i like thier products and prices.

But When comparing Ferrari (Apples) and Lambo (Oranges), you really can't compare these two laptops, because the Ferrari 4005 is a 15.4" and the future Ferrari Models will also be 15.4", whereas this Lambo is a refreshed V6va which is a 15" screen.

But if you wanted to compare them anyways, 2 BIG Thumbs up to Ferrari and to the Future of Ferrari models.

This prooves i am not bias too

But to be fair to ASUS, there is still a mystery about what they got up their sleeves.
My guess is, take a ASUS Z70va and refresh it, give it a Yonah DC and a X1600 256mb and bam, ASUS is back in direct competition to Acer and their 8200 and any future Ferrari models.

You guys get what i am saying?

Last Year in 2005 the top models for portable gaming were: (not in order)
Acer Ferrari 4005
Acer 8100
Acer 1964
ASUS Z70va
Sager 5320
HP Dv4000
These laptops were in competition with eachother and yes the Ferrari is an AMD but it's just one difference, it was still competitive to the ASUS Z70va and others.
All of these models showed portability, decent build quality, not a big premium in price for brand, and awsome performance for the of 2005.

We will havta wait like 1 or 2 months and then people will have the ability to choose from about 6-12 awsome yonah +X1600 laptops in the market which would have some nice competition, and definately price is one big factor and battery life

At this point Ferrari does beat the Lambo, only cos it is 15.4" vs 15", and people are now prefering 15.4" over 15"

So we all gotta wait till we see what ASUS has to offer.

Thanks,

i still like the non-widescreens, they just seem more asthetically pleasing and it seems there is a larger area to work on, and i think the v6va is 15.1'' hehe...acer will stick to AMD as AMD sponsors the ferrari and most likely the acer will go with Taylor when it comes out, hopefully soon.

how does a smaller screen have a larger area to work on?

I think you had the wrong picture. Its it this one:

porsche design has no relation to Porshce (as in cars).

Acer will stick with AMD, for the whole Ferarri sponsorship thingy. Besides, AMD actually uses Acer Ferrari laptops (At least in Austin).

Lambo will be nice! but at what $$$?

another wait and see.

obligatory dancing banana below

The Porsche design was desinged by FA Porsche, a design firm founded by the grandson of Professor Ferdinand Porsche, who among other things designed the legendary Mercedes SS and SSK supercharged sports cars. And the Type 32 which was the basis for the VW bug. The design is cool, but the brand is owned by Best Buy and was tanked a while ago AFAIK.

The Asus looks very nice, but it's premature to simply hand it all the awards, Acer should have a new Ferrari generation coming along fairly soon based on the dual core Turion X2 platform Yamato, with updated graphics, Then you can have a showdown.

Okay people, we get it; The first lambo model is going to be non-widescreen which makes the acer a million trillion times better.

The second model will probably be a widescreen, but the third model has me wondering... are they going to go ultra light or 17" Why can't time just go faster.

even now ferrari 4000 is the notebook to have.

reason is that ferrari is 64-bit and is cheap now. 64-bit will be required now as windows vista is just round the corner and xp proffessionall 64 and linux 64-bit oS's are out.


asus lambo notebooks will be very expensive in the beginning too

I would love to have an acer/asus with amd athlon fx-60 and ati x1800 256mb.

and you can maybe name it maserati. LOL

I agree totally. The only thing competition does for you, is causes companies to be honest and not gouge you. The Lambo laptop could actually cause the Ferrari's to stop being so overpriced.

The size of the screen doesn't really determine how much it costs. Why at 12" screens more expensive than 17" ones? It is supply and demand. If you can buy 15.4" screens a gajillion at a time, you'll get a better deal. Obviously, they got a good deal on the 15.2" units and went with them instead.

From what I saw on that German forum, it said 4000-6500 EUROS!!! "Preis: 4500€ - 6000€, je nach Maus und Brennern" I don't speak german, but if I remember right, one Euro is like $1.50. But, that can't be accurate as that would end up being like $10000. However, it also says "wird wahrscheinlich 4GB-RAM haben, 2x7800GTX(im Notebook ), und 200GB-HDD,Einen Intel M mit 2,7 und in zwei TFT-Varianten:15,8" und 17,9" Which says something like SLI 7800GTXs, 4gig RAM, Intel M 2.7, 15.8 inch and 17.9 inch screens. Maybe thats a different computer. Anyone speak German?

My own thought are along these lines:
Someone should take the Clevo D900K/T models (the huge ones that are basically desktops) and make like a Ford SuperDuty model. I'd buy one.

Lambo vs Ferrari............

I'll have the Lambo everytime, Ferrari's have become quite chav

can Any1 say if maserati notebook is gonna be out or not???

No, when will be see Jaguar? I'd like to see a green beast on my desk...

The Aston-Martin Vanquish 12-core laptop

it will be the 007 edition... tehehehehehe

so has anyone really seen the lambo notebook? when will it be up for sale?

I gotta say Porsche logo is the best looking!

IMHO, it looks better than Ferrari and Lamborgini.

Anyone ever tried to put a Porsche sticker on their lappy? Talking about stickers, my brother is planning to buy this sticker and put in on his X41 thinkpad.
