I can send you the sound in a few hours when I get home from work... it gets annoying pretty fast, heh. Didn't your Ferrari come pre-loaded with Xp Professional?

Your 3200 didn't come with XP Pro?

My Ferrari came also only with Windows XP Home Edition. In the Netherlands they only sell them with Home edition.

I've got my Ferrari 3200 now for 3 days and in those 3 days I've had 2 times the blue screen and 1 time the system just froze. Do I've to worry now, or contact my retailer? It happened on both battery and AC.

I've had mine for about a week without a single crash. Maybe you should contact your retailer- maybe the CPU fan isnt working causing it to overheat and crash ?

I ripped an old music CD which was a bit dirty and scratched the other day and since then I haven´t been able to burn any CD´s... Nero says there is some Power error hmmm

Can you use any CD/DVD lens cleaner with it (as it is a slot loader) or do you need a specific type (i have seen some ´dry´cleaners on amazon?? Help!

Great news for me, de-laptopper just called and told me that I'll get a whole new one this saturday. They agreed that for such an expensive machine it's not acceptable the system to froze/crash so many times in three days. They will replace my HD from this Ferrari to the new one at my place. And offcourse it'll be checked for death pixels. The told me not to worry about the problem, cause they will take care of those. That's the kind of service I like!

Btw this is one of the problems I've got: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329284

Ok, probably bad memory then.

I got mine today, btw. The first impression was very good, it's as close to perfect you can get with a notebook these days

Hi there,

I'm new here on this great forum. I was looking for some users comment on this beauty of a notebook and I can say it is for 99% sure that I going to order also a F3200. I read almost everything about this notebook on this forum and thanks for those interresting comments about this notebook and I did not ask for anything. I'm still looking around in HK if a notebook can beat this F3200 in price and specs. I will keep you informed what I'm going to do for 100%.

EDIT:
OKe, I'm going to order my Ferrari tomorrow, the 3200. It will take 3-4 days untill I receive it. WOW that is fast, I wonder if this is really thru. Let you know more if I received it.

Does Acer already have extra Acer Ferrari 3200 batteries on sale?

I had purchased my unit in Malaysia prior to returning to Melbourne, Australia for my uni's 2nd semester. After reading the posts on this thread as well as testing out the laptop's battery life myself, I'm sort of convinced that I need to get a spare battery for those long lectures.

Does anyone know if Acer already has these batteries on sale? Do they come similar to that as the ones our units have (silverish shade)? Or is the 3200 batteries are in actual fact, batteries that are compatible with other Acer laptops (like the 8003LMi series) and hence are readily available for purchasing?

Thanks for all your help,

- Jeb

Well, I have my own Ferrari now. Yesterday I went to a computercentre and bought the Ferrari 3200. They had some in stock so that was even better. I even get an acer mp3 player (256Mb) for free.

First impression is..... I smell the ferrari paint. Smells good. THe laptop looks good and first I was a little bit sceptical about the keyboard but no problem at all. The ferrari is fast but only the HDD is slow, later I want to buy a faster one. I re-installed everything and so far I'm not finished yet with optimizing the laptop. I will run later some benchmarks and also will put on some pictures.

First I need to work now. Not able to play more with my laptop. Shoot. Ah well, I need to be patient.
