Ferrari 1000

Technology and innovation are driving forces behind man’s greatest achievements. They are the foundations of past victories and the essence of future successes. The Ferrari 1000 combines breakthrough technologies from the fast-moving world of Formula 1 with revolutionary dual-core processing power in an exclusive, ultra-lightweight work instrument designed for a single purpose: to deliver an ultra-mobile experience that is second to none.
  • Inspired by Technology and Innovation
  • Formula 1 is inspired by technology and innovation. It pursues performance and efficiency through painstaking attention to power and weight. That's when the Ferrari magic takes over. An incomparable technological heritage encased in the exquisitely contoured carbon fibre casing that limits the weight of the Ferrari 1000 to just 1.7 kilos, and equipped with the latest AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor, making the Ferrari 1000 one of the highest-performing ultra-lightweight notebooks in the world.
  • To Put your Business in the Driving Seat
  • Success in Formula 1 is a prize reserved for the very few. Only the pursuit of innovation and cutting-edge technologies can lead to great victories. The stunning race-derived carbon fibre casing of the Ferrari 1000 conceals an Acer OrbiCam video camera on top of the 12.1" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite™ widescreen display which, when combined with seamless wireless and wired connectivity and Acer’s innovative Empowering Technology, puts you in the driving seat no matter how fast your business moves.
