hmm the ferrari did pretty bad in the test even though the asus had the same configuration

you can see that i think acer did a bad job by using the via motherboard, as they do have some bad performance sometimes compared to the nforce boards!!

the ferrari
wasn't a ferarri in this race

The Ferrari won 2 of the three battery rundown tests. It lost ont he DVD viewing. I guess the slot loading drive eats more juice too.

Bah. What a rip off.

We've got a head-to-head competition between these two notebooks. LEt's put them through the paces and see who wins!!!

So, who wins? Well, they're both great notebooks, they BOTH win!


Friggin shenanigans. I feel cheated. I want that 12 minutes of my life back that I spent reading that POS article.

I couldn't disagree with you more. The Acer Ferrari 3200 is a really awesome laptop in my humble opinion, with stunning performance, quality and features

The ferrari is one awesome machine. If it came standard with 1 512 stick and a 5400 RPM drive it would be a better deal. also if the price was about $200 less i would buy, otherwise too much $$$

Damn, why can't they make a delorean model made with a stainless steel case??

I would still go with the Acer Ferrari b'cuz

1) The style is so much nicer
2) It is ligher
3) It is thinner

I would choose the ASUS because,
1) Widescreen (the weight discrepancy... )
2) Its faster, even with less dedicated Vram
3) It costs about 400-500$ less.
