Acer Ferrari One

The Acer Ferrari One is a 11.6-inch netbook that gives consumers a chance to own something with the Ferrari brand without having to shell out the money for one of the cars. It has a faux carbon fiber finish on the palm rest to go with its blindingly red appearance, both external ways of advertising the netbooks status as one of the fastest in the late 2009 market. It runs a dual-core 1.2GHz Athlon X2 L310 CPU with a 1MB L2 cache, a M780G chipset and a ATI Radeon 3200 graphics card. The Acer Ferrari One has additional basic features such as Bluetooth, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, optional HSDPA, Dolby Home Theatre, and a 6-cell (5,600mAh) battery. XGP is supported by the laptop, meaning an external graphics card can be connection to boost the performance of the system.
