Ferrari Laptop

I guess the fashion sense that Nokia put into their cell-phones had to come to PCs sooner or later. PC Magazine reviews the nice and shiny red Acer Ferrari 3000. The 1 hour and 36 minute battery life sure fits the Ferrari miles per gallon theme. The textured silver-gray keyboard deck and bottom, small optical mouse (in matching red), and startup sound—a Ferrari Formula One engine roaring across the speakers from right to left—certainly don't dampen this system's unique character. Nor does the clearcoat sealer that protects the brilliant red livery and gives it the same sense of depth you'd see in the paint job on a $200,000 Ferrari.
