Acer Ferrari 1000 Review
The stylish 12.1 ultraportable Acer debuted at Computex 2006 has finally been reviewed, but its by a Russian site though. So, I can only hope my understanding of Babelfish’s translation is accurate.
From what I understand, they found the Acer Ferrari 1000 stylish or as Babelfish goes, “cannot be dull and uninteresting”. However, their had one key concern with the F1000: The need for frequent care of the housing of the notebook, i.e. smudge marks sticking to the finish. They also found it difficult to judge the Ferrari 1000’s AMD Turion 64 X2 processor with respect to Intel’s Core Duo due to the relative “newness” of AMD’s processor offering.
All in all, ZOOM.CNews.ru awards Acer’s latest ultraportable offering a strong, but restrained overall rating of 7.9 out of 10. But they did note that theirs was an engineering model, and thus, not necessarily as polished as the one that we will bring home.
