Acer and Ferrari have had a long-standing partnership together, as Acer is a sponsor on the Scuderia Ferrari F1 superteam. This isn’t the first Ferrari-branded Acer Laptop, but it is the first to be a ‘netbook’. This netbook will pack quite a punch, as it will be a bit more powerful than regular netbooks.

The stats of the Ferrari One are impressive for a ‘netbook’ computer: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core CPU clocked at (1.2GHz), 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 32000 Grahpics card, Windows 7 Home Premium and a 250GB hard drive, and all of this sitting under a 11″ screen. Of course, all of that comes at a price, as the battery life is only about 5-hours on the Ferrari One.

According to Acer’s press release, the laptop captures the ‘look and feel of Formula 1 racing’. The Ferrari One has a checkered flag palm rest, tire-shape grips on the bottom of the body, and racing-inspired wallpapers in the computer. From someone who grew up during the Ferrari-Michael Schumacher era of dominance in F1, this thing is undeniably cool. The Acer Ferrari One laptop will set you back $600 and is now shipping.
