Acer Ferrari 5005WLMi Reviewed

CNET have reviewed the classy Acer Ferrari 5005WLMi laptop. 'Measuring 14.6 inches wide, 11.1 inches deep, and 1.4 inches thick, the Acer Ferrari 5000 is a bit deeper and thicker than other 15.4-inch laptops, such as the HP Pavilion dv6000z. At 6.8 pounds, the Ferrari is also heavier than the HP, though its weight more or less matches that of the Dell Inspiron E1505 and the PC Club Enpower ENP680. Weighing 7.8 pounds with its AC adapter, the Ferrari 5000 is portable enough to take with you on the occasional road trip.

Like many Acer laptops, the Ferrari 5000 includes a broad, comfortable keyboard with an ergonomic curve. The rectangular touch pad is nice and wide, as are the two mouse buttons below it; a convenient scroll button sits between the two mouse buttons. While the Acer Ferrari 1000 features sports-car styled buttons around the keyboard, this larger version includes just four programmable application-launch buttons in a straight row above the keyboard. Along the Ferrari 5000's front edge are two handy sliding switches for turning the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth hardware on and off (to conserve the battery when not in use). We like all these features, though we do wish the laptop afforded some sort of hardware multimedia controls'
