A few days ago, Acer unveils their new ultraportable in the colors of the Scuderia Ferrari of 11.6 inches in AMD platform Congo, Acer Ferrari One F200 introduced at Monza in Italy, a city that hosts the Formula 1 champions. The Acer Ferrari One F200 is a laptop that plays in the sobriety and is meant to be noticed with its red hull proudly wearing the emblem of the famous premium brand.
Instead of turning to the Atom as HP with its HP Mini 311, Acer took advantage of incorporating the new AMD platform Congo (see this article) to this new model. This ultraportable is well configured with an AMD M780G chipset, an Athlon X2 L310 (1.2 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache), some Radeon Mobility 3200, a 11.6-inch WXGA screen HD resolution of 1366 × 768, a webcam with microphone, a card reader, 2 speakers Dolby Home Theater certified interfaces and Wi-Fi a / g / n, Bluetooth, 3G (optional), VGA, XGP, Microphone, Headset, attaches Kensington, Ethernet and USB (x3).
It runs Windows 7 with 6 cell battery 5600 mAh and features the logo AMD Vision Premium. This should ensure the possibility of playing 3D titles and play HD videos without worry. As this XGP connector on the left side, it allows you to connect an external graphics card. Like some of Ultraportable Netbooks and the brand, its VGA and Ethernet connectors are positioned at the rear of the chassis. The flat keyboard keys that takes the entire width seems indeed very close to that of the Aspire One 751h. The wrist rests bears him a semblance of carbon finish and loudspeakers should deliver a good quality audio, at least according to Acer.
What is not trivial in any case, the form of multi-touch touchpad. Trapezoid, the base is narrower than its upper part. This may seem pleasant to be under some, but it is probably a bad idea on its use in practice. In addition, the base is narrow, this implies a bar of buttons – not separate – is also narrower which may also be problematic.
It must however wait until the first tests the Acer Ferrari One F200 to be fixed on ergonomics but also its performance and autonomy. Acer Ferrari One F200 works in Windows 7 with 6 cell battery is 5600 mAh and waiting for October 22 next at 499 euros.
