Anyone used or own an acer ferrari lappy? Im looking at buying the 1005 12.1" one. Its pricey at 1.4k but the carbon fibre looks so darn nice and the specs aint that bad either. Just want to know what other people think about the ferrari line of laptops

WHAT!!! said:
nice spec, but to be honest the important thing for me is screen size and cpu, ive been using 12.1" laptops for the best part of a year now and im just too used to this screen size to buy anything bigger. anyone care to suggest any alternatives for an ultraportable?
Dell XPS M1210 £1100
12.1" WXGA Screen
1.98Kg
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7200 2.0 GHz 4 MB Cache
1024MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
120GB 5,400rpm Hard Drive
Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW
Intel® Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Up to 256MB shared graphics memory
9 Cell 80Whr Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Intel Pro WLAN 3945 Internal Wireless 802.11a/b/g 54 Mbps
A bit heavy though, only 1Gb because it's way cheaper to add your own than pay £200 for another 1Gb of ram from dell.
