November 16, 2004 | Levent OZLER
Acer America Corporation, one of the leading worldwide suppliers of IT solutions, announced the newest addition to the Ferrari line of notebooks, the Ferrari 3400. This notebook follows the tradition of elegance, design and cutting-edge technology that, over the past year, has been the hallmark of the synergies between Acer and Ferrari, two companies renowned for their advanced research and constant commitment to innovation. The Ferrari 3400 is based on the latest Mobile AMD Athlon™ 64 processor 3000+ for thin and light notebooks, and harnesses AMD's exclusive AMD64 technology.
"In most markets a high performance exclusive product that is accessible to mainstream consumers is virtually impossible to create," said Rob Enderle, Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group. "Acer, AMD and Ferrari continue to showcase that in the laptop market this unique combination, while far from common, is possible. This is what makes the Ferrari 3400 such a fantastic system and one of my own personal favorite laptop products."
The Ferrari 3400 is another notebook designed by Acer to feature the world's most advanced components in a captivatingly unique design. The 64-bit architecture delivers leading-edge power and provides a taste of the performance gains promised by future 64-bit applications. In addition, the AMD PowerNow!™ technology extends system battery life while HyperTransport™ technology radically improves overall performance. This newest Ferrari notebook from Acer also features an optional port replicator for increased efficiencies and suitability in corporate environments.
