Asus Lamborghini VX5


Look familiar? The VX5 isn’t the only supercar-inspired laptop on the market, or even the first from Asus, but for its latest iteration of the fabled Lamborghini line, the Taiwanese manufacturer had added a few new twists.

The exterior styling this time around comes from Lamborghini’s Reventón, the company’s most expensive car ever built, with a price of one million Euros, and only 20 ever built. The car’s tell-tale design cues are all over the scalloped, hood-like lid (which bears the Italian car company’s famous shield) right down to the trackpad, which has an angular, trapezoidal shape, and has been surrounded with leather trim on the wrist rest.

Lamborghinis aren’t known for their storage capacity, but Asus has thrown that little detail aside and imbued the VX5 with 1TB of hard drive space – an unusual amount for any portable, but even more so because it’s from a flash-based solid-state drive. It also gets Intel’s Core 2 Quad processor in place of 12 cylinders and Nvidia’s just-announced GeForce 130M for graphics, along with 4GB of DDR3 memory. Unlike the smaller Ferrari from Acer, the VX5 offers a full HD 16-inch display. The whole package weighs in at 7.27 pounds, a far (relative) cry from its featherweight carbon-fiber vehicular counterpart.

Though the VX5 is definitely destined for consumers eventually, Asus has yet set a firm release date or the all-important price tag. More details are available in Asus’ press release.

HP 14-inch Chromebook — $159, was $299

If you're looking for budget laptops, Chromebooks are usually a great place to start. They're just cheaper than other laptops on many fronts, though there is some pared-down functionality when you compare them to laptops at large. This 14-inch laptop with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC memory has great cloud storage and is perfect for getting you through documents, web browsing, and enjoying videos on YouTube. If you have some difficulty thinking about what else you can do on a laptop but those things, and you're not alone, this laptop was pretty much made for you.

If you weren't aware, the Best Buy 3-Day Sale is going on now. While the name is a considerably less flashy than Amazon's Prime Day, it does make immediate sense. There's a sale going on at Best Buy, and it lasts... for three days, ending Sunday. During this sale, you can find a number of classic Best Buy items — with everything from the best laptops to the best tablets — marked down in price. Here, we investigate the tablets that make up the 3-Day Sale and highlight the five we like the most, based on discount and quality of the product, while also showing a wide variety of tablets and price ranges.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.

Considering the complexities of balancing performance, portability, and good looks makes it a hard enough decision to start with.
