Outstanding features: Just like the Ferrari cars, the Acer Ferrari 4000 is power packed. The casing is done in carbon fibre, which makes the notebook lighter than its aluminum counterparts.

The notebook runs on AMD Turion 64 bit ML-30 processor and has 512Mb RAM, which is upgradeable up to 2GB. The 15.4" WXGA CrystalBrite screen offers crisp display. The ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 graphics processor ensures that gaming is a great experience on this PC.

It also has an 80Gb Hard disk drive, 5-in-1 card reader, dual layer DVD burner, WLAN, Bluetooth, 56K internal modem and integrated LAN.

It has four USB ports, one PC Card Slot, one Firewire port, an external display (VGA) port, a S-video port and a Kensington lock slot, as a security measure.

Drawbacks: The speakers are not at par.

The final word: The carbon fibre design and wonderful graphics make this a great buy.

Price: Rs 1,25,000
