As you can see, the Acer Ferrari Notebook has evolved quite a bit over the years.

Let's see just how much...

Packaging

FedEx delivered the notebook in a large box filled with Styrofoam packing peanuts. Additional protection was provided by the Acer factory box sealed with tape designed to show any tampering of the contents, and had shipping labels from the Acer plant in China and its final destination at an Ingram Micro distribution center in California. The boxes were in good shape and showed no sign of rough handling or damage.

The Ferrari 4000’s display box has the clean, tasteful and expensive look of a high- quality automotive publication gracing the glass top of a living room table with its glossy finish. Striking photos of the notebook are set off against a black and carbon fiber-background, with Acer’s corporate logo, “Ferrari 4000” in sleek, red letters, and Ferrari’s world-famous “Prancing Horse” crest. A closer look reveals the brushed aluminum “Ferrari Official Licensed Product” logo and holographic sticker on the side of the box. First Class all the way—but then, you’d expect nothing less from anything with the Ferrari name on it.

You have to give Acer’s marketing team credit; the box is designed to do more that just grab your attention and protect the product (though it does both exceptionally well). Opening the box, unpacking it, and removing the Ferrari 4000 from its protective wrapping invokes almost the same awe and excitement as sliding behind the wheel of the real thing.

The Notebook

To say that the Ferrari 4000 lives up to its four-wheeled namesake would be an understatement. Gone is the predominantly Rosso Corsa (Ferrari Red) finish of previous models. For this incarnation of the Ferrari notebook, Acer decked the lid of the 15.4” Wide-Screen LCD display with real carbon-fiber—the same tough, lightweight material used in race cars—with the Acer corporate logo in the upper left- hand corner, and the Ferrari crest right in the middle.
