In the tradition of that Ferrari digital camera from Olympus, there's a new limited edition Ferrari-styled laptop from Acer.
Acer yesterday celebrated Ferrari's Grand Prix World Championship victory with a bright red special edition notebook bearing the famous prancing pony logo and dubbed the Ferrari 3000.
Acer is one of the Ferrari racing team's official suppliers. AMD is one of the team's sponsors - check out the tiny logo on the tail fin - and the Ferrari 3000 sports a "powerful AMD processor", though Acer didn't say which one.
Besides being bright red and having a Ferrari logo on it, the notebook also packs in 512MB of DDR SDRAM, a 60GB hard drive and a DVD writer. The 15in screen is backed by an ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 chip. The Ferrari 3000 provides integrated 802.11g wireless networking adaptor, Bluetooth support, and 10/100Mbps Ethernet and 56Kbps modem fixed-line connections. There's a four-in-one memory card reader, USB and 1394 ports, and S-video output, too.
Acer will ship the Ferrari 3000 next month for around $1999.
