Acer Ferrari 3200
Though it's a familiar sight for PC and notebooks to be adorned with numerous logos it's a fair bet that a yellow one featuring a prancing horse and the initials SF are not usually among them. The initials SF stand for Scuderia Ferrari, one of the most famous marques in automotive history. So what, you may ask, is it doing on an Acer notebook? The reason it’s there is that Acer is the official equipment supplier to the Ferrari Formula One racing team. As such, Acer has clearly seen a marketing opportunity. Along with Michael Schumacher, Ferrari is on top of things in the motor sport world so clearly Acer is thinking that some of that success will rub off on its machines.
So has Acer produced a machine that is good enough to take pole position in your shopping list? Well let’s start with the most obvious feature – the paint job. The whole of the lid is decked out in the trademark Ferrari red, with the colour scheme extending to the side edging as well. Buy this and you’re likely to want to hand-wax your notebook to keep it nice and shiny. It’s undoubtedly striking, but it won’t be to everyone’s taste. Acer has even gone as far as to supply a matching red mouse. This is actually quite neat looking and is comfortable to hold and use. If you want your notebook to be noticed, whether it’s in the airport lobby or at your desk in the office, the Acer makes for a decent alternative to an IBM or Sony. Along with the red Ferrari livery, you’ll be treated to such luxuries as a Ferrari wallpaper and Ferrari themed screensaver. Wow…. In a crowning touch, the Windows startup melody has even been replaced with the sound of Formula One car speeding past. Yes, it’s that classy.
