Asus displayed a number of stylish yet simple, chic yet colourful laptops at the CES. Some were elegant while the others truly trendy.

The laptop that has stolen most hearts is undoubtedly the Lamborghini notebook. This one is based off existing designs, and leans heavily at the multimedia sector, note the remote sitting beside it. The details have yet not been revealed since it debuts tomorrow, but one thing is for sure that it is a PM based model, and not an AMD one. Comparisons to the Acer Ferrari are expected, but Asus completely denies any similarities.

The notebook has an extremely delightful look. Adorned in a shiny black colour, it has all the trendy lights in the right places and a Lambo badge on the case.

The other notebooks comprised of one unique feature, the extensive use of aluminum. On the other hand most companies use plastic for the shells and keyboard surrounds on laptops, as it is easier to work with since one can just mold it. Asus has several models will full blown aluminum shells and wrist wrests. They feel quite solid, and are probably a lot more wear resistant than the normal low rent plastic. The Asus notebooks definitely score a point over the rest in this respect atleast.

On the other hand there were some ‘pink’ leather clad notebooks as well wonder if that’s another plus or a minus to the Asus score sheet.

And last but not definitely the least is the most impressive single feature of the bunch, a secondary display and controller on the lid. It has a little color LCD and a four way pad which lets one do a number of things without turning the PC on. It is a bonus for the ones who use their PC as a music station. Quite a handy one indeed.
