It's amazing how companies start feeling competetive about this kind of stuff, Lamborghini is thinking that having Ferrari sponsored notebooks might hurt their reputation, so they have decided to go the same route to regain it. I can only hope that they build them as top nootch as Acer Ferraris are.

Umm ok?? most $900 laptops can survive 6 2 1/2 foot drop onto a sheet of plywood on top of a 6 inch thick sheet of steel. They should make it like it can survive drop from 4 foot or something. who the heck is going to buy that neon bulk brick? stupid GM.

check out why these people have hummer notebooks

AMD is a big sponsor of Ferrari's Formula 1 program so it (kinda) makes sense for an AMD-based Ferrari notebook to exist. I wonder if Intel is pushing for this. Their sponsorship of Toyota in F1 has been lackluster. Maybe they're just trying to smear their enormous marketing budget around...

OK, so Lamborghini Notebooks when you want a really fast machine, Hummer when you want durable, and the New and improved Ron Jeremy Notebook when you simply nead a big processor and don't care how it looks?

Mark my words, once those Hummer laptops hit the mainstream, you are going to find some idiots on AT b!tching about battery life , either that or it's going to come with it's own gas guzzling electric generator, I bet you that they will demand a gas guzzling version, they would like to screw the economy both while they are driving and while they are checking their email.

Irony? Irony, as per the definition you yourself linked, is when the actual result of an event is the opposite of what was expected.

For example:

Lamborghini manufactures exotic fast cars. Lamborghini does not manufacture laptops. It is expected, however, that Lamborghini would see value in associating themselves with other exclusive and fast products. Intel partnering with Lamborghini in branding their upcoming high-end dual-core laptops may seem silly, but it is certainly not ironic.

Another example:

You posted a link to the definition of irony. It is expected that you would have read and understood the definition of irony since you saw fitting to link to a page containing that definition. It is therefore ironic that you don't understand the meaning of irony.

I was joking about the Hummer Laptops and someone slammed me with a link about them, now that's irony!!!!
