Acer Ferrari 3200

£1545

The lowdown
This is the second time Acer has got together with Ferrari to produce a branded laptop. The first one was something of a disappointment. Will this one be any better?

What’s good?
If you like red you’ll love the outside of this machine: it’s extremely red indeed. This is a powerful machine with decent specs at a reasonably affordable price. While it’s not an ultraportable, it’s light enough for the odd trip out.

What’s bad?
The fussy interior styling won’t suit everyone. The keyboard rattles and the small touchpad is sluggish to respond (luckily, there's a matching red USB mouse included as standard). The screen buckled too readily under pressure and was poorly lit.

Do you need it?
If you’re a big fan of Ferrari you can be sure of getting something very individual in this machine. It’s got decent enough specs, but the build quality was disappointing.
