The Acer Ferrari 4000 notebook

 

Design and Construction

In terms of design and construction, the Acer Ferrari 4000 notebook is one real looker. Coming in black and red, it really looks like the Ferrari of laptops! Modeled after the real Ferrari also means that you get that horse logo on your machine � cool huh? The chassis is made of carbon fiber and is certainly built to withstand all kinds of rough handling.


CPU and Memory

What about the CPU and memory? The CPU of the Acer Ferrari 4000 is an AMD Turion 64 Mobile, clocked at 2GHz. That is a whole lot of processing power in a chip. Couple that with a 1 GB RAM module, and we have a power horse that will crunch all your numbers for you without a problem!
 

Graphics

The Acer Ferrari 4000 features an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics chip which is perfect for both business applications and games. Yes, I know � hardcore gamers will balk at playing 3D games on a laptop. But the Acer Ferrari 4000 will change you notion of that. The ability to display great, speedy graphics on its 15.4 inch display will allow you to experience the best games for a long time.


Data Storage

The 100 GB hard disk in the Acer Ferrari 4000 ensures that you have enough space to store both audio and movie files for a very long time. You won�t outgrow that amount of storage for a very some time. It�s also [[perfect for bringing on the road if you need a large hard disk to store your digital movies or photos.
 

Other Components

The other components that come with the Acer Ferrari 4000 are its Wi-Fi support and very nice DVD writer. Yes, that DVD writer is certainly a big plus because it will ensure that your have huge amounts of storage while on the road. In fact, I think that DVD burners are fast becoming a standard in most laptops � the Acer Ferrari 4000 is no exception. The Acer Ferrari 4000 also comes with built-in Bluetooth support � great for synchronizing with mobile phones and perhaps PDAs.
 

Shortcomings

The shortcomings of this machine? Ha ha ha � it's gotta be the price. You�re going to pay a [premium for such a good looking device . But if you�re comfortable, then its worth a buy. I know that for some owners, a laptop should just do what it�s supposed to do and it need not be a good looking one. If you belong to that category, the Acer Ferrari 4000 may not be for you.
 

Conclusion

So that that's that! The Acer Ferrari 4000 is certainly a powerful and good looking machine, and worth a look at if you�re a huge Ferrari fan and want a good looking laptop. If you just need a basic functional laptop and don�t want the frills of a beautiful laptop, then don�t bother with this machine- look elsewhere.
