The engine beneath the Acer Ferrari 4000’s hood is a fast and energy-efficient 2.0 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 Processor with a 1GB cache, mounted in a Socket 754 motherboard powered by the new ATI Radeon® Xpress 200P chipset, with 1GB of Single-Channel DDR 333 RAM upgradeable to 2 GB. Mass storage is provided by a Seagate Momentus ST9100823A Ultra/ATA 1000 5400 RPM 100MB IDE hard drive with an 8MB buffer and 12.5ms access time.

Included with the Ferrari 4000 is a Bluetooth rechargeable wireless mouse. Powered by two rechargeable AA batteries, the full-sized scroll wheel mouse is color- coordinated to match the notebook with the Ferrari’s glossy Rosso Corsa finish, black rubberized “Soft-Touch” side grips, and an ambidextrous design. With the included USB charger cord, it takes approximately five hours to fully charge the mouse, and the charge lasts about a week and a half under normal use.
