Named after the famous racing car, this Acer Ferrari notebook looks and feels like a fast, finely tuned performance machine.

The Ferrari 5005WLMI’s15.4-inch widescreen display and a 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon graphics engine mean that it will play most 3D games without trouble. The presence of S-Video and HDMI ports, meanwhile, allows you to easily watch videos and media presentations on a big-screen TV, making this laptop a strong contender in the multimedia market.
