Acer Ferrari 4000

I received this laptop as a birthday gift to help with school 2 years ago, however being a keen gamer, I was quick to try out some of the latest video games to test out how far I could push the laptop... of course laptops aren't generally for gaming usage but the Ferrari 4000 certainly has the capability to play games on fair graphical settings. Despite blasting hot air out of the fan on the left when you start running anything too demanding, you ...
...to reduce performance and increase battery life, which also cools the fan down. This of course is useful for my main need was with school work and therefore won't always have a plug nearby. Playing video games causes the laptop to get very hot after a while, therefore if you intend to run demanding applications I recommend purchasing a cooling tray to put beneath the laptop. Having a widescreen display means that you can easily have a split screen ...

Review of Acer Ferrari 4000

A solid good well designed laptop. A bit pricey, but with a great tft display. All the features one can ask, and a bit of some, not many ask anymore (infrared). Only minus is the 333MHz DDR RAM, when the chipset supports 400MHz RAM. No dual channel support because of the processor socket. Extremely well designed heat distribution. This laptop is BEAUTIFUL to look at! Good connectivity, and the keyboiard is tangible. A top of the line product. Oh yeah, the Included Bluetooth mouse is excellent, if you use it with a left hand. The laser "eye" is then on the correct side, when considering the natural trajectory, when the wrist turns on it´s pivot. My wife likes it. ...

Review of Acer Ferrari 4000

This my first laptop computer, so my comments are judgements based on several years of full size desktops. Start-up, causeds no problems, and my one fear of noise from fans cooling a 2Mz processor and a fairly fast graphics card have not materialised.. The main noise is funny sounds coming from the DVD unit, which sounds as if it needs oiling. I bought this laptop for three operational reasons, 1 graphics work, 2, word processing and 3 gaming. On ...
...specification model, as I suspect I would have had speed problems with the 1.6Mz model. The supplied blue tooth mouse is useless and I use an old USB mouse. A final point worth mentioning, is the very strong construction of the screen housing/lid, the best I have seen, and was a factor in the purchasing decision. ...

Review of Acer Ferrari 4000

Its overall performance is not as good as I expected. This product was considered to be better than what it actually is. Ferrari 4000 has a good design and a very good cover with the original ferrari logo which looks really nice. But this Laptop gets hot easily with the use of some heavy applications such as games. Whenever i play a video on real player it gets hot and then suddenly goes off. This is the thing which i really hate about this model. ...
