Who wants a Ferrari for only ￥72,800?November 19th, 2009 by Curzon |

The Japan subsidiary of Acer, a Taiwanese computer manufacturer, has become the first computer manufacturer licensed to produce a laptop incorporated the Ferrari design.
It goes on sale on November 27th, and comes with a 340gb HD, 4gb of RAM, and an 11.6 inch widescreen, among other standard features. On startup, it launches into the Ferrari engine roar.

Acer actually launched a laptop incorporating the Ferrari logo at least as early as 2004. This Netbook initiative looks brand spanking new however.

Oh c’mon, you left out the most worthwhile microeconomic factoid, and that is how much an Acer laptop with 340gb HD, 4gb of RAM, and an 11.6 inch widescreen costs without the Ferrari design/startup roar. Then we subtract…

I got a Ferrari for cheap in Italy. Not a Ferrari computer either. A Ferrari t-shirt. Way cheaper.
(PS: “produce a laptop incorporated the Ferrari design”—> “produce a laptop incorporating the Ferrari logo”)

Curzon is busy getting fitted for sheikh robes, so I’m not too worried about his grammar slipping.

Surely Lord Curzon would be having a kandura or two tailored.

Heh. Wonder if he canceled his reservations. There’s always linedrawing, Curzon!-catone
BTW, nothing says “chick magnet” like a Ferraribranded computer.
