Acer announced the desirable Ferrari One 11.6-inch netbook last week. Apart from the Ferrari branding, and small aesthetic touches that differentiate it against most other netbooks, the hardware is also significantly different from most netbooks. The Ferrari One is powered by AMD’s new dual-core Congo processor, if that wasn’t enough, you also get ATI Radeon 3200 graphics.
