Acer Ferrari 5000 - CNET Asia
A review of the Acer Ferrari 5000 series (Turion 64 X2 ML-60 Processor 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM) notebook has been posted over at CNET Asia. 'The Ferrari 5000 certainly looks less gaudy than the ASUS Lamborghini VX2, which is quite welcome, as though that notebook is quite the performer it’s almost noxiously ostentatious. The Acer has some carbon-fiber sections, though it appears to be mostly decorative. The palm rest is a matte-black plastic and also quite sexy, though it does get quite greasy with fingerprints--Acer’s supplied Ferrari cloth comes in handy here. Though the notebook looks virtually identical to its predecessor at first glance, the ports and optical drives have been moved around--with the optical drive now at the left, alongside both an ExpressCard and PCMCIA port.'
