Get ready to feel the high-speed computing power of the Acer Ferrari 5000-5832 (model LX.FR50U.059), a continuation of the speedy, mobile-centric laptops the two companies have previously collaborated on. Sleekly styled, the Ferrari 5000's carbon-fiber casing--which is stronger and lighter than aluminum--comes in a more conservative black and is accented with exclusive Ferrari red edges and the classic yellow prancing horse Ferrari logo, and the interior has a rubberized coating. This notebook also incorporates an HD DVD drive that's compatible with the new high-definition DVD disc format. Enjoy amazingly crisp and vibrantly colorful imagery from this new format. The optical drive also incorporates a dual-layer, multi-format DVD/CD burner that enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc.

Made for today's demanding applications and ready to continue working into tomorrow, the Ferrari 5000 is powered by the 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 processor, which provides dual-core power as well as an architecture that's ready for tomorrow's demanding 64-bit software. It's also ready to keep you connected to your most important contacts wherever you might find yourself, thanks to the included Bluetooth VOIP phone and integrated 1.3-megapixel Web cam--perfect for video conferencing or checking in on the family during long road trips. Other hardware features include a bright, high-definition 15.4-inch LCD, large 160 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM, integrated 54g wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connectivity.

This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, which combines all the features of Windows Vista Premium and Vista Business as well as adds extras such as multi-language packs and Secure Online Key Backup. It offers all of the features found in Windows Vista Home Premium, including Windows Media Center, Windows Movie Maker with high-definition support, and Windows DVD Maker.

The Basics
<ul>

Processor: The 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Hard Drive: You'll be able to store large libraries of digital audio, video, and photos on the 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM). This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0. In addition, Acer's patented DASP--or Disc Anti-Shock Protection system--reduces the impact of knocks and bumps.

Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (PC5300, DDR2 SDRAM, 2 x 1024 MB) offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed, and you have room to grow with a 4 GB maximum capacity.

DVD/CD Drive: This Acer notebook offers the next generation of DVD entertainment with the HD DVD ROM optical drive, which provides the superior image and sound quality of high-definition images and multichannel surround sound as well as backward compatibility with standard DVD movie discs and content burned onto DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM. It also incorporates a multi-format DVD/CD burner, which is compatible with dual-layer (DL) discs that can hold up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following write speeds: 16x CD-R, 10x CD-RW, 4x DVD-R, 4x DVD+R, 4x DVD-RW, 4x DVD+RW, 3x DVD-RAM, 2.4x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 2x DVD-R DL (double-layer).

Keyboard & Mouse: The 88-key Acer FineTouch keyboard features a five-degree curve, inverted T cursor layout, embedded numeric keypad, hotkey controls, 2.5mm minimum key travel, and international language support. It also offers front-access WLAN and Bluetooth LED switches and a touchpad with four-way integrated scroll button. </ul> Screen, Video & Audio
The 15.4-inch TFT LCD screen has a 1680 x 1050-pixel resolution and can display up to 16.7 million colors. Video is powered by ATI's Mobility Radeon X1600 video/graphics card, which deliver high-performance 3-D graphics, enhanced video playback quality, and extended battery life. A 90-nanometer process and hyper-efficient 3-D architecture deliver supercharged graphics performance, enhanced by ultra-threaded operations and a new Ring-Bus memory controller. You'll also enjoy high-definition video entertainment with ATI's revolutionary new Avivo technology, which enables you to connect the notebooks with home entertainment devices via the HDMI connection and receive HD video thanks to the embedded Consumer Electronics class TV encoder.

Acer's CrystalBrite display technology guarantees the best possible visual experience by preventing the diffusion of surrounding light and internal ray. Compared to normal TFT LCDs, Acer CrystalBrite technology is able to read color coordinates more accurately, thus minimizing distortion and creating high-fidelity colors in all environments. It's great for sophisticated professional applications, photo manipulation, and immersive 3-D games.
