I purchased the Red Ferrari Laptop and had nothing but problems form the start. I was supposed to get a free matching mouse, when I received the mouse it looked two years old. When I got laptop working the wrist rest pad right next to the mouse pad was heating up to an uncomfortable level. When I notified PCmode, the supplier of the laptop, they agreed to replace it with another laptop. When I asked if it had the same problems, they told me it headed up as all laptops heat up. The agreed to replace the laptop with another laptop but with a 50% lesser value than the one I purchased.

I will never buy from these people again...

This is a great laptop. I bought this laptop four years ago and it is still running great. The hard drive crashed about 2 years ago. Fortunately I had purchased the 3yr warranty plan. They sent me a shipping label, a truck came and picked it up, and was delivered back with a new hard drive in about 2-3 weeks. They offered to just send the hard drive, but I opted for a good cleaning inside and out as well. I since upgraded to 2GB RAM and put a 60GB 7200RPM hard drive in it. I then installed Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and ran for close to 2 years without a hiccup. It still runs just as well as the low-end models selling today.

I purchased this laptop almost 4 years ago for my consulting business. Since then I've used several other laptops from clients and have yet to find one I like as much. Most others were slow even when years newer, buggy from the manufacturer, and lacking features. This Acer has more features than any other laptop I've used, awesome performance for the time, and is still running strong. The only drawbacks were power consumption and heat.
