The Ferrari 1100 is a premium notebook, one that is exclusive and unique. Ferrari has very high standards in what they expect of an IT vendor and for Acer to be able to badge its notebook with the Ferrari branding; Acer must be able to synchronise with what the Ferrari brand stands for in terms of exclusivity, style, speed, execution and power.
