Acer Ferrari One Netbook Offering ATI XGP Technology

Featuring AMD Athlon Neo X2 L310 1.20GHz processor, Acer Ferrari One netbook is going to hit the market on 22 October 2009, the same day much-awaited Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system will also be released. So, you can expect Acer Ferrari One to feature Windows 7 OS alongside its other impressive features.

The most eye-catching feature of Ferrari netbook is that it offers ATI XGP (eXternal Graphics Port) Technology. Thanks to this technology, you can upgrade your graphics to a very powerful GPU in what would make the modern games accessible to you. The netbook comes pre-loaded with ATI Radeon HD 3200 integrated GPU, but you can upgrade it anytime you wish.

It also decks out 11.6-inch LED-backlit display at 1366 x 768 pixels. For memory, it offers up to 4GB DDR2 RAM, while the netbook features 160GB of Hard Disk Drive. Its dimension is: 85mm x 204mm x 24~30mm, and weights 1.5kg.

Well, AMD Athlon Neo X2 L310 processor with 1.20GHz speed may not be very impressive, specially on the speed. However, the thing is that it is a dual-core processor that would allow users to do multiple tasks at the same time. In fact, AMD Athlon Neo processors are expected to perform pretty well.

However, biggest disadvantage of the netbook is its price tag. It comes with a S$1298 (Singapore dollar) price tag and in US dollar the price stands at around 916. There is no doubt, it is very big a price tag for a netbook. It is true that the netbook offers some high quality features that we often see in the typical ultrathin laptops, but still, I do not think the price is anyhow attractive. However, considering the eye-catching ATI XGP technology, you can try it out.
