Like fashion, the hottest toys from the '80s have come back in style, and the latest craze is Transformers. With two movies under its belt, this franchise has gone beyond toys and T-shirts to a customized special-edition Transformers laptop from Asus.
Based on the G60 gaming notebook, this machine comes with a 15.6-inch full-HD panel and Core 2 Quad processor combined with the newest Nvidia GeForce GTX 260M graphics chip.
A unique feature of this model is that it sports a turbo button that automatically overclocks the processor for faster speeds. The Asus gaming machine will be available in August worldwide and will cost about $2,073. Unfortunately, the Transformers edition is only a one-off production unit which, by the way, will be given away as a lucky draw prize by Odeon Cinemas in the U.K.
All you can do is hate the winner and drool over these pictures.

The ASUS G51 (cNET: YOU NEED TO REVIEW RIGHT NOW! RUN, not WALK TO THE NEAREST BEST BUY) also has a GTX260M, but sports a 1366x768 LCD. How the crap did they fit 1920x1080 into 15.6"? That's an achievement.
Lucky bastard...
