Today, Acer quietly unleashed a netbook dubbed Ferrari One. Buffing AMD’s Congo platform, the netbook strives to push the limits of the netbook market.
It’s said that it will sport AMD’s Athlon X2 L310 processor, coming in at 1.2GHz with 1MB L2 cache. Built on the M780G chipset, meaning an ATI Radeon 3200 IGP with HD capability. It wouldn’t be a netbook without a super small screen, the Ferrari one has an 11.6” screen as a resolution of 1366×76, not quite HD. You’ll also get 2GB of memory, a 250GB HDD, a memory card reader, 5,600mAh six-cell battery, Bluetooth, and Wireless N. At $728 (499 Euros), your paying a good premium for the sporty, stylish look.
Other non-standard features you’ll get, not commonly on most, is Dolby Home Theater, external video card support, multi-touch mouse pad, and the world famous Farrari horse. This ultra beefy netbook is expected to ship with either Windows 7 Starter, or Home Premium (Hence the multi-touch). It’s also speculated that it will only ship with a 64-bit version of Windows.
