Acer’s one of the well-known laptop maker has announced the launch of its new laptop namely, Acer Ferrari 3200.Succeeding last year’s Ferrari 3000, the updated model is also encased in a shiny red-and-grey chassis along with the famous gold-and-black prancing stallion. The Ferrari 3200 (330x272x31mm, 3kg) includes some high-end features too, such as AMD’s Athlon 64 2800+ processor, 512MB of DDR333 SDRAM (upgradable to 2048MB with dual SODIMM modules), an 80GB hard disk, as well as ATI’s Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics chipset with 128MB of memory. The 15-inch. TFT display is also impressive and has a native resolution of 1400×1050 pixels (1600×1200 pixels maximum), although it has a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than a preferred widescreen variant.
Designed and built to stand out from the crowd. While the system’s general performance isn’t as impressive as its Ferrari F1-endorsed partner, gamers and high-end graphics users will relish the performance from ATI’s Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics chipset and the high-resolution 15in. screen. Battery performance is mediocre at around 2h 20m, but the Ferrari 3200 is still a refreshing piece of kit that will appeal to those who want a laptop that’s different – if you don’t mind paying the price premium for the Ferrari branding.
Pros: Unique branding; high-resolution screen; 64-bit CPU
Cons: No 64-bit OS yet; faster systems available; left side gets very hot
Price range : $540
