AMD Athlon XP-M Barton 2500+ @ 1.87GHz
512MB RAM PC2700
60GB 4200rpm ( ) HDD (Will be upgrading to 7200rpm soon from newegg.com)
DVD+RW/-RW CD-R/RW DVD/CD-ROM Multifunction Drive
56K and 10/100 Ethernet
WiFi 802.11g 54mps

Total Price with shipping: ~2120 with shipping, haven't gotten confirmation email yet.. expect a FULL (yes, you'll have to scroll down to read the whole thing) review when I receive it on Friday (UPS Second Day Air)!!!

congratz, I'll be looking forward to that "yes-you'll-have-to-scroll-down-review" =)

sharp, I challenge you to produce for us, a link to a laptop whose specs exceed or equal those of the F3000, for a lower price.

I just want to know how much you can push the 3D beyond stock i really love the ferrari and would get it in a heartbeat if it had an r9600/gf56xx or could be pushed with the right amount of Ocing and driver modifing to come with 1500 3dmark2001 points of those cards, if you can please share the experience

It should be just fine for the games I play, I don't play the most graphically demanding games out there, nor do I play at the highest settings on any game.

Actually for the price he paid, I am assuming that the additional 3 year warranty cost at least $100 ??? Anyways, what you are getting is Bluetooth, DVD writer, WiFi at 54G, 15inch SXGA, built-in media card reader, AMD Athlon XP-M Barton CPU that can probably be switched out to a faster processor later on, GFX card that is underclocked so it can be upped some, just some of those specs alone would make other laptops cost way over $2000. retail price on the Ferrari 3000 is about $1800+, so it is a very good deal, please keep us updated.

I think I gave them a wrong email when I was on the phone, so no email yet. I got UPS Second Day Air, he said it should be here on Friday. The warranty (3 additional years for a total of 4) was $199.99 dollars. I seriously think thats a great deal, shipping is covered when I send it back too. Look at some other companies, its not that cheap.

Update: I haven't gotten an email. I called them, and the lady said they could not authorize the card? It was registered under Manuel Diaz, but the card holder is Jane S. Diaz, and.. yea.. I'll tell you more when Charlie calls me back.

OK....I'm confused! From the beginning of this thread your sig. says that you ordered a Cyberpower but the topic was about ordering a Acer. You didn't mention the cancellation of the Acer and ordering a Cyberpower until mid thread. I'm not insinuating anything...I'm just trying to understand. I'm actually new to forum posting. Do signature lines update to previous posts?

Yes, they do. At least on modern boards like this one. So whatever your current signature is, it'll show up for all your posts, no matter how old they are.
