Description for the Acer Ferrari 3400LMi Pro Laptop

Acer introduced the first Acer Ferrari notebook in 2003, the same year it became an official supplier to the legendary Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team, meeting its IT needs with notebooks, PCs, servers and monitors.

Now Acer has made the Ferrari 3400, an improved model in terms of both performance and craftmanship. The high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish was achieved via an advanced ten-step production process. A textured carbon fiber strip across the keyboard strengthens the chassis while giving users the realistic feel of a race car.

The Ferrari 3400 sports a faster processor, the low-power mobile AMD Athlon™ 64 processor 3000+. You also get world-class graphics capability thanks to the ATI© MOBILITY RADEON 9700 visual processing unit.

More than a high-performance notebook, the Ferrari 3400 is a sophisticated mix of style and practicality.
