Acer Ferari 4000
The Ferrari is fitted with the high-end AMD Turion 64 ML-37 (2.0GHz) sporting a 1MB L2 cache, essentially a more energy-efficient version of the desktop Athlon 64 chip. Other components include 1GB DDR SDRAM and huge 100GB drive split into two 50GB partitions. 3D rendering is once again handled by the 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X700 graphics engine. The optical drive remains as a DVD±RW burner with DVD+R dual-layer support, though it is changed to a slot-in from the modular tray design.
There is a wide range of ports and slots such as four USB 2.0, FireWire, S/PDIF digital audio interface, a 5-in-1 flash card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD), S-video out and DVI-D for excellent visuals on external monitors. You've no shortage of networking options with Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet, modem, fast infrared and the ability to surf on 802.11b/g wireless LAN.
