Like fashion, the hottest toys from the 1980s 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 (also known as the G51Vx in Asia, which does not come with the Transformers logo shown above), 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 S$3,098 (US$2,230.54) in Singapore. 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 UK. All you can do is hate the winner and drool over these pictures.
