Acer doesn't live up to the proud Ferrari name

Advantages: Looks good, lots of connectivity options
Disadvantages: Slow, short battery life, Athlon CPU

...I first saw this laptop in a PC magazine last year. It may have not been this exact model, but the radical Ferrari styling caught my eye and intrigued me. A couple of months ago a friend of mine, upset at the fact that he couldn?t afford a real Ferrari decided to settle down with a consolation purchase and get this Ferrari styled laptop ? the Acer 3200. Sadly, unlike it motor counterpart, this laptop feels more like a Vauxnall Nova stuck in a Ferrari?s body. Design Design is this laptop?s strongest feature. It?s bright red exterior stands out and looks shiny and smooth, thanks to a scratch-resistant coating. The inside of the case is made from something known as silver-magniesium alloy, which not only sounds cool but is also quite strong (like Wolverine?s claws I?m guessing). Ferrari?s logo is subtly situated in the bottom right...

Review of Acer Ferrari 3200LMi

Just like a ferrari, lots of power under a stylish hood.

Advantages: small, powerful, stylish. Quality laptop
Disadvantages: poor battery life, screen has it's up and down sides.

...Well having previously owned an MSI wind u90, a very 'budget' netbook i finally made the upgrade to a more beefier ultra portable laptop, and after many hours spent looking for one, I opted to go for the Acer Ferrari one. I was looking for the best prices and to my pleasant surprise it was best value for money at argos! £399.99 seemed to be the average price, but the argos model came with 3GB ram instead of the usual 2, so i was instantly sold! The acer ferrari one is the result of a coming together of Ferrari, and their computer specialist sponsors, AMD and Acer. The Ferrari one is the first 'netbook' to incorporate a dual core processor and the first offered by AMD as an alternatively to the widely popular Intel Atom. With a dual core processor and dedicated ATI HD3200 graphics (as opposed to standard integrated intel graphics...

Review of Acer Ferrari ONE 200

Is the Acer an ace?

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, the desktop machine has continued to get more and more powerful. Anyway...back to the Acer. I was so excited when it arrived. You see, since getting my first 8-bit computer in 1983, I've never actually had a brand new, complete computer. I've either got hold of second hand PCs, or I've built my own desktop machine from scratch - I prefer it that way. That's obviously not feasible...
