We've already seen that the Asus Lamborghini VX2 is a highly desirable piece of kit, but it just got better...
Despite no official confirmation from Asus itself we know that its flagship notebook is about to receive the Santa Rosa treatment. Consequently, all the benefits of the new platform including a second generation 'Merom' Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, NAND flash memory caching, Dynamic Acceleration and wireless n connectivity will be present under that distinctive yellow casing.
The name of the latest Lambo laptop is also likely receive a tweak, being dubbed the 'VX2 S' – I can't possibly imagine what the additional letter could stand for... ;)
Obviously there is no word on pricing or an official release date, but given the swarm of Santa Rosa based laptops at this moment in time a June or July launch would prove the very definition of logic.

The new Asus Lamborghini will have the new release at the beginning of 2007 but Asus have not said if the new laptops will have Intel or AMD processors (cheeky), Sunny Han, director of marketing at Asus said “We have to discuss everything with our partner first,”.

Our love of the original Eee PC is no secret. Coming back from last year's Computex in Taipei we were all awash with geeky excitement over the ultra-portable laptop we’d been looking for all our lives.
For a shade over £200 it was all we wanted from a machine we could literally take anywhere with us.
Much better screen
The increased resolution this gives is what really makes this version of the Eee most special. At 1024 x 600 there's no more fiddly scrolling around web pages or straining your eyes to see what you're typing. To be fair the original 7inch panel was still impressive for its size, but we always wanted more.
The multi-touch, MacBook Air-style touchpad is another neat addition giving you the ability to scroll around simply by placing two fingers on the pad and sliding up and down. It's a neater solution than the sometimes awkward side-scrolling method employed by the 701. You can also use this function to zoom in and out; handy but a little gimmicky.
Override the underclocked processor
Asus has also included an updated BIOS allowing you to run the Celeron CPU at stock speeds rather than the underclocked 600MHz set at as standard on the 701. The slightly larger chassis (around 1cm deeper and a shade taller) helps to provide sufficient cooling to keep the system stable at the higher clock speeds. This will give more of a noticeable difference should you get the more demanding Microsoft installation on your machine.
We’re not without our reservations though, with the bigger screen comes higher power draw and with that a larger power block to give it the 12v it needs over the 9.5v of the 701. Supposedly this offers faster charging of the battery, but the original, single lead offering had a longer cable and was simply more practical on the move. The higher power draw inevitably has an impact on battery life - gone is the 4-hour up time, replaced by around 2.5 hours. Less ideal on the move.
The 1GB RAM that comes pre-installed on the 900 is also slower than that which nestled in the 701. Only by 267MHz, but is still possible evidence of a cut corner. It's possible this was necessary to keep the unit price down, but when you can pick up a stick of DDR2 667 for £15 that seems unlikely.
Price is a massive issue
At the £220 price mark the 701 was pretty much a no-brainer, it was cheap and did everything you could want. Now with the 900 you actually have to make a decision, weigh up whether you want a serious laptop you can use for everything but gaming or do you want something that is significantly smaller, yet with far less grunt for the same price?
