Acer Ferrari: The $2,000 Windows XP Laptop from 2005

In the mid-2000s, Acer started sponsoring the Ferrari Formula One team. And they also sold Ferrari-branded computers and peripherals! This is one of them, the Acer Ferrari 4005 WLMi from 2005.

The cooling fan sounds like a Ferrari, that's attention to details.

They missed a great opportunity to rebrand themselves as rAcer

Fact: You can overclock it by adding spoiler

So, is this just a more expensive Hot Wheels computer?

The rubbery bits are melting just like a real Ferrari of that era!

Imagine playing Outrun 2006, an officially licensed Ferrari game, on a 2005 Ferrari laptop.
Top tier top gear

I love how they just assumed anyone with this laptop would be using the dollar and euro signs just as often as the arrow keys

Cant wait LGR to review a $2000 gaming laptop from 2019 in 2033

The F1 team was sponsored by Acer during the early 2000s which is why there's only F1 images as it was a collaboration between the two. Also you need to understand that this would have come out straight after Ferrari just won 5 back to back world titles so people would have wanted them so bad.

I wanted this laptop so badly back in 2005 :D

Acer + Ferrari + Myspace. What can possibly go wrong with this laptop.

[FedeHippo]

I had one of these :D Got it dirt-cheap when in college. My favorite feature was that i could put a hot cup of coffee next to that exhaust port on the left in the morning. And in the afternoon it would still be hot :D

Can we get an LGR episode on the Kensington lock, maybe an 'oddware'? Do consumer products actually need this crap today, and why the hell is Kensington's the only one?
