Acer Ferrari 3400 Specs, Review and Design

Acer Ferrari 3400  







Following 6 many years associated with enthusiastic pc make use of, Recently i purchased my personal very first laptop computer: the actual Acer Ferrari 3400. Certainly We proceeded to go searching for evaluations for that Ferrari 3400 however regrettably We did not truly discover any kind of good evaluations which obtained previous referring to the actual appears of the Acer laptop. Therefore, following purchasing one We chose to create my very own.

Acer Ferrari 3400 From the Container (view bigger image)
Specifications
Measurements as well as Pounds
The actual Ferrari rests from 13. 0' Watts by 10. 7' Deb by 1. 2' They would providing this the pounds associated with 6. 6LBS. I'd state that isn't harmful to the video gaming laptop computer thinking about the more recent Alienware or even Dell XPS remain 12-13 lbs and appear just like a hummer required the get rid of. This suits properly upon my personal table next to my personal desktop computer, or even my personal clapboard whenever I am inside a cramped region, however can also be large sufficient in order to perform video games and then really observe individuals. Eventually it is gentle sufficient it does not turn out to be irritating transporting this during the period of each day.
PROCESSOR: Reduced energy cellular AMD Athlon sixty four 3000+ 1MB L2 1600mhz FSB
We had been conflicted with this particular processor chip. About the 1 hands, it is future-proofed because it is sixty four little bit, along with a two GHz processor chip, however however, We have not truly already been which amazed using the electric battery existence. Having a reduced energy cellular processor chip I'd believe that I would have more compared to 3 several hours associated with electric battery existence simply seated nonproductive -- however We do not. Apart from that although, it is ideal for doing offers, multi-tasking, and throughout pc make use of.
Storage: 512MB DDR333 (2x256)
This particular is among the places I believe Acer skimped on. I am talking about, they might purchased PC3200, as well as simply additional 1 dimm therefore there is space with regard to growth. The actual memory inside it is actually sufficient, however I am most likely likely to purchase a 1gig DDR400 dimm for this at some point soon.
GPU: Cellular ATI Radeon 9700Pro 128MB
The actual 9700 professional 128MB is a good greeting card, there isn't any disputing which. This operates the most recent video games having a great framerate, making the actual laptop computer an excellent video gaming device. Operating aquamark 3 We obtained twenty six, 221 as well as obtained 3105 within 3Dmark03. With regard to actively playing more recent video games (e. grams. Fifty percent existence 2), the overall game is extremely playable upon center to raised quality. Regrettably although, you will find couple of motorists available flexible in order to cellular images credit cards, and so i wound up needing to set up a mature group of driver motorists as well as utilizing a mod device to set up all of them. The actual more recent Driver motorists would not set up.
HARD DISK DRIVE: 80GB HARD DISK DRIVE @ 4200rpm
This really is exactly where I believe Acer skimped away probably the most. The 4200rpm HARD DISK DRIVE is certainly not really exactly what I'd phone "Top Speed", as well as barely worth the actual Ferrari title. After i obtained my personal laptop computer, I discovered which Acer currently partitioned the actual hardrive personally in to forty gig areas. Regardless of whether you select which to become a benefit or even not really is actually your decision. I have been recently considering improving this in order to a minimum of the 5400rpm 1 because it is significantly reduced launching video games as well as programs.
COMPACT DISC: 4xDVD+-RW as well as x16 CD-RW
So what can We state besides completely fantastic. Having the ability to Burn off Digital video disks as well as Compact disks upon my personal laptop computer may be excellent because I have currently burnt most likely 20 Dvd disks. Considering the fact that the actual Ferrari is definitely an currently costly laptop, it is good to determine exactly where a number of which cash proceeded to go.
OPERATING SYSTEM: Or windows 7 Expert
We created the actual error associated with experimenting upon my personal pc from 5: 00 the. michael. each morning as well as unintentionally clicking on "OK" towards the Revise area after which likely to help to make personally the meal. A lot in order to my personal dismay, We returned as well as discovered which i experienced unintentionally set up Or windows 7 Support Load up two. Basically can provide a person 1 term associated with guidance should you purchase this particular laptop computer, stay with SP1, because getting Support Load up two produces a few small, however annoying issues using the sixty four little bit processor chip.
System & User interface: Cellular 802. 11b/g, wireless bluetooth, 4 USB2. 0, DC within, S-video TELEVISION Away, Microphone/Line-in, Headphone/Speaker Line-out, FireWire
We have not truly experienced an opportunity to make use of the wireless bluetooth however however reading through additional evaluations, I have noticed it's very useful. I would obtain a wireless bluetooth computer keyboard and so i may perform very first individual present shooter video games better, however for the moment it is heading un-used. Oddly enough although, there's a switch in front from the laptop computer (accessible whenever actually closed) which will allow or even disable wireless bluetooth. It is certainly the nice perform. Apart from that, getting 4 HARDWARE two. 0 plug-ins is a good function. Having the ability to connect inside a camera, the computer mouse, along with a inkjet printer along with 1 position remaining is extremely useful. They are things that are generally ignored through laptop computer purchasers.
Show: 15. 0' SXGA+ (1400x1050)
Stunning will be the method to explain the actual LCD display. Certainly less vibrant because my personal desktop computer LCD, the actual Ferrari's show is actually razor-sharp, fast, and it has the indigenous quality associated with 1400x1050 making actively playing individuals video games together with your 3000+ as well as 9700pro much much better.


On-ship Realtek seem arrives share using the Acer Ferrari 3400. I will not lay, it isn't which amazing, as well as We discover that viewing Dvd disks or even down loaded films or even tv shows is actually difficult in the event that I am not really seated fairly near to the laptop computer. The actual loudspeakers are not which noisy, and also the online game seem is not excellent possibly unless of course you have good earphones. Therefore in the event that you are going to invest the actual $3, 000 (Canadian Dollars) about this laptop computer when i do, obtain a good set of Sennheiser 500+ earphones such as I am thinking about performing.

Operating applications such as Speedfan, the actual laptop's program does not truly obtain which warm. Seated nonproductive this gets hotter in order to close to 40-45 levels Celsius as well as perhaps 50 whilst doing offers to have an prolonged time period. Nevertheless about the drawback, along side it from the laptop computer exactly where you'd probably relaxation your own hand will obtain a small comfortable. It isn't intolerable at all, however if you are currently sensation heat outdoors, heat in your hand will not truly end up being which enjoyable. Nevertheless, because it is winter season at this time, We do not thoughts a little since it creates a great hands hotter!

The actual touchpad is excellent. It is fast, receptive, includes a four-way scroll switch, as well as is equally as visually satisfying since it is advantageous. Exactly what Used to do need to do although is actually continue the actual Acer website (www. acer. com) as well as obtain the actual Touchpad motorists and so i might disable this whilst doing offers or even inputting a good composition. This reached end up being irritating after i had been inputting as well as all of a sudden the actual cursor made an appearance elsewhere, or even We had been actively playing a game title as well as my personal weapon began shooting each time We unintentionally pushed about the touchpad using the hand associated with my personal hands.

Such as We stated prior to, provided the actual cellular 3000+ We believed I'd obtain a lengthier electric battery existence. However 3 several hours appears to be sufficient with regard to what ever I wish to perform. I personally use my personal laptop with regard to college and also the greatest address I've is actually 3 several hours therefore personally, this calculates completely. If you would like much more electric battery existence although, you will need to opt for a good Intel Pentium Michael processor chip.


In my experience, this particular laptop computer offers this that beats all others. The actual Alienware notebook computers perform appear good, however inside, these people appear the same as almost every other laptop computer. Acer certainly believed via every thing when making the actual Ferrari. Form good red-colored layer complete on the exterior, the actual inside's made from fibreglass, allegedly providing you with which "Ferrari Feel". The actual Computer keyboard is actually somewhat bent which makes it just a little simpler to kind as well as searching that a lot crisper. It will obtain irritating although along with a small awkward whenever individuals show up in my experience as well as inform me personally it's awesome searching. From time to time it will be ladies... however let us not really child ourself, perhaps 1 within four would have been a woman. However if you prefer a laptop computer which sticks out over the normal silver/grey/black appear, then your Ferrari is certainly what you want.
