Who else wants an Acer Ferrari 3200

[vanquished]

omg..it looks so sexy, so perfect. That red shine on the cover is irrisistable. Couple that with the mobility 9700 athlon 64 2800+ and 512 DDR2700 ram!!! I must get it!!!

yeah i wanted one for a bit too, but i ddnt like the pc 2700 as much as my dual channel pc3200 i have now. it definately is sexy though, and A64 is always a plus. i am an amd guy, so it was kinda painful to jump on the intel bandwagon

Ordered one two weeks ago from digitalspyders.com.

Salesman was nice, but it seems that acer's shipment has been delayed for quite a while (or am I getting BS'd?).

wonder if you can use car wax to polish the shiny red cover....

anybody else see the sexy notebook from ASUS's presentation at the AMD Technology tour -- Athlon 64 / ATI 9700 combo + thin and light

I was going to get a Ferrari 3200, but then I saw this:

The 4750 looks very promising. 17" widescreen and up to a 3400 and 2 gigs of RAM. And no lousy 4200 RPM hard drive. Wait till the 15th and take a look before buying a Ferrari.

Want to point me in the direction of a place that has them in stock? (for a reasonable price, ships to canada)

Wow.. expensive. ATIC.ca (a local shop) sells it for 2685CDN (I emailed them).

Anyways, I think I'm going to have to go with an LG model instead. The LG-CUWU1 has a 1.7 dothan processor, is only 1.0" high, and weights 2.4kg.

It comes with 512m PC333 ram, and an ati 9600 Mobility Radeon at 64mb. The hard drive is 80gig (probably 4200rpm.. ugh). 15" screen at 1400x1080. It's made by LG, so the monitor should theoreically be top-notch.

Also, it is supposed to last 10 hours (measured with BatteryMark) on a single 9-cell battery (although it comes with a 6-cell, and I've yet to find a place that stocks the 9-cell).

It's 3030CDN at ATIC.

This laptop seems to not be availble in the US, however.

ten hours of battery life??? woah, that's amazing, considering the ferrari 3200 only gets 2 1/2 hours on the powersaving mode
