Acer Ferrari One FO200-1799 11.6-Inch Red Netbook - Up to 5 Hours of Battery Life Review

My company supplies me a HP 8510W, which can’t really be called a laptop, it’s more closer to vacuum cleaner set on blow (yes the fan on the side is that bad, but it does keep my coffee hot!) - & just as portable / useful when on battery, and when plugged into the wall I’m sure the lights dim (…ok just slightly).
and guess what.. I travel a lot, so I decided I needed a netbook (It needed to be cheap because I was paying for it) but actually useful not some low power consumption 1.6Ghz ATOM (or worse) and that you didn’t need to be an Olympic weight lifter to lug around (i’m a Geek after all), and it could actually last on the road at least for a reasonable part of the day, as well as in the office with a large HD LCD screen on high res. (most netbooks the graphics card lets them down in this area)
The Acer Ferrari One meets those needs and then some - I’m really happy with it!
Video / Graphics meets the requirements (and yes it can actually run BF2, at least well enough for when you need to frag something sitting in a hotel room), I installed Win7 Ultimate x64 and it hasn’t missed a beat - in the office I typically have Outlook 2007, Word / Excel and probably 6 or 7 browser sessions open plus Office Communicator, TweetDeck and VISIO or Groove and I can still do full video conferencing without any performance hit.
Out of the office it’s typically lasting me a solid 4 plus hours before I start to have to watch the power meter (it waits until it gets to 10% before starting the warning prompts).
Only thing I’m not impressed with is the colour (Ferrari RED) - hate it! why can’t this spec come in other colours? - however to be fair my wife and daughters love the Red (also another reason I wish it came in another colour)..
For 9 USD it was a no brainer, and since I bought mine 3 others in the office have too.
