11.6-inch Acer Ferrari One official in US, no HDMI port
11.6inch Acer Aspire One sporting a Ferrari logo is now available in the US. Priced at $600, it measures 11.2 x 8.03 x 0.9/1.2-inch and weighs 3.31 pounds. It runs 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS and comes with 5600mAh 6-cell Battery that should run good for 5-hours
The Acer Ferrari One (model FO200-1799) has 11.6-inch display with1366 x 768 resolution just like the current Acer’s 11.6-incher, Aspire 751H. Underneath, it runs a much more powerful dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 L310 processor (1.2GHz), 4GB RAM, AMD M780G Chipset and 250GB Hard disk. It has a nice ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphic card instead of the pathetic GMA 500 chipset.
However, there is no HDMI port in this model. We wonder why was it removed since it has the GPU and CPU to run HD videos perfectly.

Acer Ferrari One is a Netbook or Mini-Notebook?
Acer has unveiled their new red hot Ferrari One netbook, which resembles the Aspire Timeline 1810T or 1410 (Aspire One 751H + Intel ULV processor). However, it uses the new AMD Congo platform with a dual-core Athlon X2 L310 (clock speed: 1.2GHz) CPU and ATi Radeon 3200 graphic chipset.
- 11.6-inch display
- 1366 x 768 resolution
- Draft-N WiFi, Bluetooth
- Battery: 5600 mAh (6-cell)
It runs Windows 7 and will start shipping on the same day as of the Windows 7 release date, October 22. Expect the price to be around 499 Euros (USD 720).
Commentary: So, is this a mini-notebook or a netbook? Gone are the days when we used to consider the netbooks as scaled down ‘weak’ versions of full-size notebooks. Now, many netbook manufactures are coming with ION or ION LE-powered netbooks, which pack a lot of muscle as compared to netbooks that came in early 2009. With the release of Acer Ferrari One, the netbooks will no longer be considered as weak.
