New Ferrari laptops coming soon
According to this report in El Reg, Acer will soon be padding out their range of Ferrari laptops with two new models: the 1000 and the 5000 (to complement the current 4000). Both models use AMD's dual-core Turion 64 X2 processors, and the 5000 is a black and red carbon fibre machine with a 15.4" widescreen display (the 1000 has only a 12.1" display).
I would think that these two (especially the 5000) would make fine machines to run Solaris or OpenSolaris on. If he hasn't got one already, doubtless Casper will be getting his grubby mitts on one! My Ferrari 3400 is fast enough, but I wouldn't mind getting a fully loaded 5000 (two cores are better than one, right?). Given how strapped for cash I am, it'll be a while...

Ferraris are expensive. Are there any plans to support Medion MIM 2080 (VIA C7)?
What happened to the iGoJava (www.igologic.com) solaris support?
We need Solaris on cheap machines for the masses!!!
I'd love the 1000 myself - I
moved from a Toshiba M100 to a Ferrari 3400 and it required some adjustment. (to shoulder straps, health care plans, how far I could walk without needing a rest, that sort of thing ;-) Definitely a fan of lighter laptops...
Yeah, the 3400 is quite heavy--but compared to my SPARCstation Voyager, it's pretty light! 60 MHz MicroSPARC CPU, 80 MB of RAM, 850 MB of disk, and Solaris 7 11/99, in a 10+ lb bundle. I think I'll take the 3400, please! :-)
