WHOA!
Unlike the previous
Ferrari notebooks,
the Ferrari 4000 is
decked out with a
more conservative
black motif with
Ferrari Red accents—
and a genuine
carbon-fiber lid!
Acer's corporate logo
in the upper left-
hand corner.
The world-famous
Ferrari "Prancing
Horse" crest sits in
the center of the lid.
Let's take a look at

laptop.
The 71 W Li-ion
battery fully charges
in 2.5 hours, and

fiber lid. Up front, a pair of 16-bit stereo speakers flank a 5-in-1 Card Reader that
accepts Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MMC (MultiMediaCard), SD (Secure Digital)
and xD-Picture cards; a built-in Microphone, Infrared Port, Power and Battery
Indicators; a Headphone/Speaker and Microphone jack; a Bluetooth wireless
button/indicator and a Wireless LAN button/indicator.
On the left side of the notebook, we find a DB-15 Female VGA port next to the
ventilation slots, to connect either a monitor or LCD projector; an RJ-45 port for the
