Acer Ferrari 5000 Raring To Go
Acer has announced its first AMD salvo in the dual core-equipped notebook market with the Acer Ferrari 5000 and 1000. In this post, we’ll be talking only about the Ferrari 5000. Let’s leave the F1000 for the next post.
Anyway, for starters, the Acer Ferrari 5000 comes equipped with a dual-core AMD Turion 64 X2 processor, and like its Intel brothers, is bundled with an Acer VoIP Bluetooth phone and Acer OrbiCam (1.3 megapixel webcam). Moreover, being a 15.4-incher with a DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive (and perhaps even a HD-DVD drive), it shouldn’t be surprising that the F5000 is aimed at the desktop replacement market.
Overall, the Ferrari 5000 looks like a solid offering, but a change in style from Acer’s previous Ferrari offerings would have been nice, though admittedly highly unrealistic.

[...] Acer launches yet another AMD Turion 64 X2-powered notebook, but this time it’s part of the Aspire series. While the previous two Turion 64 X2 notebooks introduced by Acer were flashy (this probably deserves a Duh! given that their Acer Ferraris), the Aspire 5100 looks pretty much the average Acer notebook – both specs and design-wise.
