Image 1 of 4 from Ferrari 4000 Carbon Fiber notebook

June 2, 2005 In terms of high tech brands, Ferrari and Acer make quite a quinella. With gigabytes of data downloaded wirelessly from the car telemetry each race meeting and analysed more meticulously than Michael Jackson’s private life, high performance computers and Formula 1 racing are almost synonymous. Now the last Ferrari Acer computer really didn’t look the part – it was Ferrari Red but didn’t quite capture the essence of F1. The newly announced Ferrari 4000 notebook computer is a different matter though. Like almost everything else that can be made in carbon fibre, it looks much better when it is made in carbon fibre because you can see the weave of the carbon fibre from which the casing is constructed. It gives the computer a "hand-made" look and somehow makes it more personal. There you go, it's a "more personal" personal computer, with a Ferrari badge!
