Thread: Ferrari 1000 Series-Acer recommends genuine Windows Vista

The Ferrari 1000 is not just a notebook; it's the physical realization of a dream of mobile excellence, born from the illustrious design partnership between Acer and Ferrari.
Black as the night to reflect pure class, the Ferrari 1000 is inspired by the exhilarating passion of Formula One high-performance. This notebook redefines the standard of mobile computing with cutting-edge technology that drives fast-paced, all-encompassing functionality.
Acer and Ferrari combine with striking design contrasts in the Ferrari 1000: soft-touch against carbon-fiber, red against black, light against dark — an attention-grabbing combination of extremes creating an extraordinary vision of perfection.
Distilling the essence of Ferrari Formula One into a supremely portable notebook, the Ferrari 1000 puts you right in the race, delivering the worldly esteem of the Ferrari logo, flashing lights of high velocity, tactile sensations, race-proven materials and the fast-paced look of Ferrari.
