Background and Identification

In 2003, Acer Inc. signed a sponsorship agreement with Scuderia Ferrari, the racing division of luxury Italian automaker Ferrari. This sponsorship led to the creation of Ferrari branded products including notebooks, netbooks, and a smartphone. The Acer Ferrari 4000 can be identified by model number ZF3 or 4005WLMi. The Ferrari 4000 was released on June 21, 2005.

The Acer Ferrari 4000 is a notebook computer with a 15.4-inch display with a resolution of 1680 by 1050 pixels. It features a glossy carbon fiber lid, bearing Ferrari's rearing stallion logo and red accents reminiscent of Ferrari's signature paint color. It includes a wide touchpad and large mouse buttons with a central button to control scrolling and Web browsing. Four instant-start buttons are located above the keyboard and can be programmed to launch frequently used applications. The Acer Ferrari 4000 is positioned between thin-and-light laptops and desktop replacement laptops. It includes a 2 GHz Turion 64 ML-37 processor, a 5400 rpm 100GB hard drive and 1 GB of 333 MHz DDR SDRAM.
