ACER FERRARI 1200 ULTRAPORTABLE NOTEBOOK

Acer has announced the Ferrari 1200, an all new ultraportable notebook series, as a successor to its Ferrari 1100. This show stopper series comes in the true spirit of the Italian race car. Well, at least they have tried to bring in some features that is supposed to give you the feel of driving a real Ferrari, like the anodized metal touchpad that resembles the acceleration and brake pedals of a F1 car. Also the Acer Ferrari 1200 has a carbon-fiber cover(this material is actually used in race cars) that is lighter and stronger than magnesium alloy, giving it the ultra portability. Another feature to imitate the race car is an unique ventilation system that supposedly “echoes the exhaust pipes of F1 cars”. To finish off the dressing, it has a tasteful matted finish with soft-touch coating and of course has the strategically placed Ferrari Racing Shield logos.

Now coming to the not so important features, the Acer Ferrari 1200 is driven by the AMD Turion X2 Ultra processor with AMD M780G chipset, and packs up to 4GB of DDR2 memory and includes a 'large capacity' SATA hard drive, Acer InviLink WiFi Certified network connection, Bluetooth connectivity, a biometric fingerprint scanner along with Acer DASP hard drive protection system, an integrated slot-loading DVD SuperMulti optical drive and 2nd generation Dolby Home Theater audio for the ultimate multimedia experience. The Acer Ferrari 1200 sports a 12.1-inch CrystalBrite LCD with LED backlit display, a webcam and comes with an exclusive Bluetooth wireless mouse and an optional Xpress VoIP handset .

There is no word on how much it is going to cost you to drive a Acer Ferrari 1200, but rest assured that it is going to be more than the older model and hopefully you can get hold of one by the first half of 2009.
