While Americans will have to endure a long wait till October before getting a chance to lay their grubby hands on an Acer Ferrari 5000, British magazine Computeract!ve have already completed a review of the stylish machine.

Not surprisingly, the AMD Turion 64 X2-powered notebook got a thumbs up for its performance, especially given the 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card equipped. But it seems fan noise, processor heat and a relatively small hard disk drive (it already comes with a 160GB HDD…) were problems.

Overall, it was awarded 4 out of 5 stars, with a verdict most would have already expected: “The Ferrari price-premium doesn’t detract from this quality, high-specification notebook.” Pity the £1699 (US$3212) price puts it completely out of my league.
