I don't like it.
AND if you read it too quickly it looks like
"spilled the beans on how it farted"
Aesthetically, it looks hideous. I can't believe Ferrari allowed their name to be placed on this.
The stickers on the left palm rest area is the worst part about it. Other than that I think it looks fine but hardly worthy of the Ferrari name.
Go look at the Ferrari store. If it can be painted red and have a prancing horse taped onto it, they'll sell it for significantly more than it's worth. See:

It just doesn't mean what it used to...
Remember this one?

The model previous to it was also sweet. They were never the best but they were certainly more exciting.
Introducing the Lapturd.
If you have $1850 get an MBA instead...
I'd rather pay an extra 100$ and get a Macbook Pro
I'd rather make a custom gaming rig, since I already have a Macbook.
yeah, its pretty gawdy, but I think all the Ferrari models they have made have been gawdy. I thought the Ferrari line was supposed to be a gaming line, so I don't understand why PC mag didn't mention any of its gaming capabilities. I also thought it was funny when they were talking about available ports and they said the MBA has a backlit keyboard.
Fugly.
This thing does not deserve a Ferrari badge, first an SUV and now this, why is ferrari letting their brand be tainted so?

Looks like it was made in the fucking nineties.
I have a MacBook Pro with two official Ferrari stickers on it. Looks heaps better, how did Ferrari allow this monstrosity? Acer must pay well.
If they bring out an Acer branded Ferrari I'll be all over it.
I can tell by that cheap shiny piano like plasic finish that is was designed in south east asia. why are they so obsessed with it in recent time? you can tell what you want but asians just dont know shit about good design. only exception: japan. check out nec's public displays for example, they are simple, rugged functional and excellently processed. just as they should be.
That is hideous! Looks like a proper fat slag! The ASUS Lamborghini looks miles better! Lets have a race shall we...oh it's all over now!
Needs more glare.

i think i just threw up a little in my mouth.
"I thought the Ferrari line was supposed to be a gaming line, so I don't understand why PC mag didn't mention any of its gaming capabilities."
Na, I don't think so, they all ship with Vista Business for the "I may not know much about deign or computers but look, that one has a Ferrari sticker on it!"-type execs.
My two year old B1800 Persario 12.1" is lighter than this and it has a DVD-RW slot too!
Demolishing the ferrari brand. Somethings are just meant to stay exclusive.
The head honchos over @ ferrari are trying extremely hard to rank in profits from diffrent angles using the name but they are going at it in the wrong way.
Asus > this crap.
any Asus laptop would 0wN this.
note to acer:
please try again.
Maybe it's just the image quality, but for a second, I thought the image on the screen was a capture from "Out of the World."
