When I saw the announcement for the Acer Ferrari One netbook I knew in my heart that this one is going to be special.  I have been very impressed with the Acer netbooks ever since I purchased my Acer One.  When I decided my wife needed a netbook we looked at every model I could get my hands on and still decided Acer was the one I was going to go with.  I have to say after looking at this new model from Acer.... I want one!

As you can see from the picture, the Acer Farrari One stands out from the crowd from the first glance sporting a red case which proudly displays the Scudetto Ferrari that has dominated Formula One since the very first race.  This little machine is more than looks though.  As I scrolled through the specifications I started to drool.  Netbooks are suppose to be slightly under powered aren't they?  I mean isn't there a price to pay for being ultra portable and light?  Not in this case. The Farrari One sports an AMD Athlon 64 Dual core processor (L310) with 1MB L2 cache zooming along at 1.2GHZ.  It comes with 4GB of RAM and 250GB (5400RPM) of hard drive space.
