CeBIT 2007: Review Acer Ferrari 5005 Notebook

 

Scuderia Acer. It's common that various manufacturers aspire to c ...

Still, the provided performance should be sufficient for all current office applications, and even current games should be playable, if you reduce the resolution and the number of details

Acer Ferrari 1002 WTMi

 

We live in an era of brands and symbols. Everywhere you turn, you will see a celebrity endorse a lifestyle product, be it a perfume, or a more exotic product like a rare scotch. It's all about good living and heavy spending. It should, therefore, come...

In terms of storage the 1002 WTMi had a large 120 GB drive which is a good move as it allows you to carry a lot of data around without the need for an external USB HDD. The system's optical media needs are serviced by an external 6x multiformat DVD-RW...

May We Interest You in a $600 Ferrari?

 

Care to test-drive a Ferrari that only costs six bills? We've got one for you.

Nothing if not eye-catching in Ferrari red. Exceptional specs and solid performance for the netbook class. Surprisingly good value

Glossy case quickly becomes disgusting with fingerprints. Screen seems a tad grainy. Weak keyboard

Acer Ferrari One

 

This ultraportable outclasses netbooks when it comes to performance, but you'll pay a premium for its sports car looks.

Just as with many sports cars, owners of the Acer Ferrari One will pay more than they would for a comparable, but less sexy system, and trade in better mileage for a sleek design. Most will choose this ultraportable because of the Ferrari brand and...

This durable notebook begs for abuse.

 

Great looks and a host of features make the Acer Ferrari 5000 series a contender.

• Excellent battery endurance • Rugged design • Small footprint

• Uneven screen brightness • Tiny keyboard • Tablet functionality costs more

Acer Ferrari 5000

 

The Acer Ferrari series will thrive as long as Acer can maintain the fabulous Ferrari design. The Ferrari 5000 can hold its own in the performance department, but the main draw is the multitude of features that come with this laptop. If you're in the...

Signature Ferrari design. 160GB hard drive. HDMI-Out port. Option for HD DVD-ROM. Rotating 1.3-megapixel webcam

Mobile AMD processor not as fast as its Intel counterparts. Slightly heavy for a mainstream laptop

One of the few car/PC alliances that successfully delivers both a terrific design and features that are ripe for the future.

Acer Ferrari 3000

 

The SXGA+ display and multiformat DVD-rewritable drive lay the groundwork for a fine multimedia notebook. The footwork, however, is up to you—the only significant piece of bundled software is an OEM edition of NTI CD & DVD Maker for ripping, adjusting,...

Flashy and sporty, multiformat DVD burner, 15-inch SXGA+ LCD, excellent connectivity options, 4-in-1 memory card slot

Too-heavy charger, so-so battery life, feeble software bundle

Acer Ferrari One

 

The Ferrari One features standout styling, and it backs up its good looks with excellent performance for a notebook in its size class.

Performs better than netbooks; unique styling; very good 3D performance; excellent keyboard

No Bluetooth in currently available models; mediocre battery life

Interestingly, one of the Ferrari One's closest competitors is Gateway's $549, externally similar EC1430u. It smokes the Ferrari One in processor tests, but falls well behind it in graphics performance. Overall, the Ferrari One offers a good balance of...

Product Specifications

Coated in Ferrari Red and sporting the coveted Prancing Horse emblem, the stylish Ferrari 3200 series notebook from Acer performs the perfection. The Ferrari 3200 series is an improved model in terms of both performance and craftsmanship. The high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish was achieved via an advanced ten-step production process. A textured carbon fiber strip across the keyboard strengthens the chassis while giving users the realistic feel of a racecar. More than a high-performance notebook, the Ferrari 3200 series is a sophisticated mix of style and practicality.
