Acer Ferrari 4000 4005WLMi Notebook
Reviewed by Barry Little - September 21, 2005

Manufacturer: Acer, Inc.
Model: LX.FR406.035


Few names personify the word legend in the world of
Formula One racing and exotic dream cars as Ferrari. When

Acer, one of the world’s top five PC manufacturers, joined

forces with AMD and Scuderia Ferrari to create the Ferrari 3000 notebook back in

October 2003, they had an immediate winner on their hands. A year later, Acer blew
the industry away with the Ferrari 3200 and 3400 notebooks. They were a tough act

to follow, but like all true champions who never rest on their laurels, Acer went back
to the drawing board in their never-ending quest to perfect their racing-heritage

notebook. On May 26, 2005, the Acer Ferrari 4000 4005WLMi Notebook was
born—lighter, faster, more powerful and feature-packed than any of its
predecessors. Today, we’ll take a look at this race-bred beauty to see if it’s truly

worthy of its namesake.

Whether on the racetrack or in business, strategic partnerships are crucial to
success; so the partnership between the Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team, the FIA

(Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile)—the governing body of international
motor sports, AMD and Acer was a natural and logical choice. Cutting edge

technology is crucial to the advancement of auto racing, and you’d be hard pressed
to find a more cutting-edge company than AMD, whose award-winning Athlon™ 64

Processors made them a force to be reckoned with against long-time rival Intel.

Acer immediately recognized that the high profile relationship between one of the
world’s top racing organizations and a company who was seriously challenging Intel’s

dominance and winning, was a unique opportunity to increase their name recognition
and market share. Unlike their competitors who either dismissed or ignored the AMD

and Ferrari partnership, Acer knew a good thing when they saw it, and got on board
immediately. The rest, as they say, is history.
