| Acer, one of the world's largest computer manufacturers and sponsor of Formula 1 team Ferrari, has shown off the latest notebook equipped with the official Cavallino Rampante seal of approval. Somewhat surprisingly, the system, dubbed the Ferrari One, isn't as extreme as say an ASUS Lamborghini. Instead, the Acer Ferrari One takes on a netbook-like ultra-portable form factor with an 11.6in display that provides a 1,366x768 resolution. What's interesting is that the Ferrari One isn't your typical Intel Atom-powered machine. It's an all AMD affair, and we're not talking about the hopeful-but-ultimately-disappointing Yukon platform, either. Inside the Ferrari One is AMD's Yukon successor, Congo, comprising of a 1.2GHz dual-core Athlon X2 L310 processor, AMD's RS780M chipset and SB710 southbridge. The chipset brings with it integrated Radeon HD 3200-series graphics, providing a marked improvement when compared to the single-core processor and Radeon X1250-class graphics found in Yukon. Users will be treated to a six-cell battery, Wireless N and Bluetooth connectivity, and Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system. Oh, and to the dismay of those who like a clean, clutter-free design, you'll also find one of those new AMD Vision stickers. Given the choice of software, Acer's Ferrari One lands on October 22nd and is said to be priced at €499. |
