Well, it still LOOKS cooler than all those combined!
The VoodooPC Envy 133 looks arguably better if you like CF. 13.3" LED based TFT.

I actually regret buying the Acer Ferrari 1000 (the previous before the 1200) but it looks the same. The damn thing overheated (like a true Ferrari) and my memory chips got burnt, (like a real Ferrari) it wasnt really worth the price but at the moment it looked cool and using it in public made me look like a showoff (like a real Ferrari) otherwise I do ahve to say its a very good looking laptop but def overpriced for the performance and battery life is horrific!!!! barely lasts 45 mins on the provded 3 cell lasts just over an hour with the also provided 6 cell. I couldve gotten the Carbon Fiber Sony TZ? back then which was lighter and had better battery life. But at the end of the day I still have a Ferrari........laptop
