unreasonable to expect. There are a number of extended warranty options available,
but if you want the extra peace of mind, you’ll have to pay for it.
The
Acer Ferrari 4000 ’s
styling has been toned down quite a bit from the previous
3000-series notebooks (although some folks will still find it a bit too flashy for their
tastes), but its performance, functionality and quality hasn’t—in fact they’ve gotten
better. Although it’s not an absolute must, it would have been nice if the integrated
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller supported Jumbo Packet Frames. Finally,
tweakers looking to enhance system performance will undoubtedly be disappointed
by the rather sparse Phoenix BIOS (Version S3A17 on my unit), which allows only
the most basic of settings necessary for configuring the notebook.
Leveraging both Windows XP 32-bit and Windows XP Professional x64 support with
AMD’s latest 64-bit mobile processor and other best-of-breed components in a
lightweight, powerful, stunningly beautiful and surprisingly flexible package, the
Acer Ferrari 4000 4005WLMi Notebook
is every bit a winner as the exotic sports
cars and F1 champions of the same name.
