Review: Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-37(1MB L2 cache, 2.0GHz)
  Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset
• 1GB (512MB installed in each of two memory slots) DDR333 SDRAM (upgradeable to 2 GB total)
• 100GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive (5400 rpm)
• Integrated DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive
• 5-in-1 card reader for optional MultiMediaCard , Secure Digital card, Memory Stick , Memory Stick PRO or xD-Picture Card
• 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) TFT LCD, up to 16.7 million colors
• ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 graphics, 128MB DDR memory
• Dimensions & Weight: 14.3" (363.0mm) W x 10.5" (265.7mm) D x 1.2" - 1.4" (30.5mm - 34.3mm) H. 6.3 lb. (2.9kg)

Pros (will try to limit to 5, although I think its fairly obvious I could go on for a while!):

• Ferrari (it's so pretty.....)
• Performance (works perfectly and is insanely fast)
• Easilly customizable
• 64 bit procesor (ensures future viability)
• Included extras are a very nice touch

Cons (seriously, this is all of them, not including that EVERYONE will notice your laptop):

• Bluetooth/wireless controls on front (vs being near keyboard)
• Lack of media controls
• Keyboard/mousepad heat
• Headphone volume
• Screen/carbon fiber top tend to smudge, although the cleaning cloth gets rid of those quickly

Conclusion:

Great laptop, which will last you a while. Definately get the USB sound drive and the total protection warranty extension. At around $2,200 from most retailers, it is a tad pricey; however it really is worth it if you want a great performing laptop. The sensational design is the icing on the cake.
