Advantages: Looks great. Gorgeous screen. Disadvantages: Not very upgradeable. Bluetooth mouse unreliable.
I bought my Acer Ferrari laptop in October 2005 - plenty of time to have forged a decent opinion of it. My ratings are based on my opinion of the machine NOW, compared to the speed and performance of contemporary computers.
I wanted something that had enough power to play games and do anything else I wanted. When bought, I had intended it to be capable of becoming a desktop replacement - that didn't happen, as, being a bit of a hardware junkie, ... ...Overall, I consider the Acer Ferrari a good buy, and nearly one and a half years down the line, it is still a very capable machine.
Oh - one last rather important point. I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate edition on this machine, and, although it's not as perky as my desktop with an E6600 Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM, it is perfectly usable, and all devices have Vista drivers available! ...

Advantages: Looks fantastic Disadvantages: 'suck and spit' dvd slot wont accept 8cm discs
A truly beautiful machine, very well made. I've had mine now for 5 months and it's been completely faultless. Keyboard surround has almost skinlike/rubbery feel which stops sticky slippy hands after you've been on it a while. Battery life is approx 3-4 hours which for a powerful machine is very impressive, fan noise is minimal even under full loads. The only gripe i've had is the wsxga+ screen which has a resolution of 1680x1050 which although good ... ...my case web building, the high res makes text to small to view and also a very annoying aspect is that in certain browsers text 'moves'. By this i mean that i have a desktop and a viao laptop which both display webpage text and images exactly as they have been made, but my ferrari 'moves' text around to fit resolution, eg when viewing a page that has say 2 lines of text then my desktop and viao would show 2 lines but my ferrari will show 2 and a ...

Advantages: pretty, fast Disadvantages: trouble-prone
...also freezes any time I leave it unattended for more than a minute. And the flat black finish on the keyboard easily wears off next to the mousepad.

Advantages: Great Design, Clear Screen,No hardware problems Disadvantages: Bad sound card, heating problems
Had the Acer Ferrari for about two years now and the work is doing is above every other laptop i have seen during my two years in university.
I have upgraded it to 2GB ram and it works Vista ultimate brilliantly.
I found the sound card not too good which if you don't have external speakers for travelling or at home you can't listen cause it's too low even with headphones.
The graphics card is fine and the processor as well.
Low-weight for its ...
