Another Acer Ferrari laptop launched - 15th November 21:02pm GMT

Acer America today has announced its newest notebook in its Ferrari line of notebooks, the Ferrari 3400. Featuring a Mobile AMD Athlon 64 3000+, the notebook combines the market strength of three major brands, Acer, AMD and Ferrari.

"In most markets a high performance exclusive product that is accessible to mainstream consumers is virtually impossible to create," said Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group. "Acer, AMD and Ferrari continue to showcase that in the laptop market this unique combination, while far from common, is possible. This is what makes the Ferrari 3400 such a fantastic system and one of my own personal favorite laptop products."

The unit features a slim and lightweight chassis in grey and Ferrari red. A 15" SXGA+ (1400x1050) display, 512MB of DDR333 SDRAM (upgradeable to 2GB) and an ATI Mobility RADEON 9700 graphics card with 128MB of DDR memory round out the system's main specs.

The Ferrari 3400 is available through Acer's authorized resellers and retail outlets and starts at approximately $2299.
