The Acer Ferrari One ultra-portable is now shipping in the United States with prices starting at $599.99. This 11.6-inch netbook is powered by AMD’s new 1.2GHz dual-core Congo processor as well as ATI Radeon 3200 graphics.
The Ferrari influence is felt via the ‘Ferrari-red’ lid and checkered palm rest. There are also tire-shape grips underneath the chassis, racing-inspired wallpaper and calendar, as well as a quick access key to Ferrari.com. Other features include Windows 7 Home Premium, a 250GB hard drive and a built-in optical drive. Check out the full list of specifications after the cut.

It would be more appropriately called the Acer FIAT. Alfa Romeo at best. The HD 3200 graphics card does not scream Ferrari performance. Even the lowley GeForce 8400M GT in the old LG 10.1″ X100 would blow the Radion chip away.
