    Got this product through UPS international courier.

    I live in australia,

    got this laptop, from the day 1 am having issue with this laptop.

    the problem is blue screen error in windows couldn’t find whether its a hardware or software problem.

    i contacted the seller but didnt get any response.

    Since i work for 7 days a week, i don have time to sit and solve this problem.

    The laptop is good in look wise, but it gets very hot within 20 minutes and the laptop is pretty slow.

    Not fast as expected.

    The laptop is still lying without any use at my place because of BSOD error.

    have to organise a way for it.

    If any1 can provide a suggestion will be great help.

    Before i purchase my netbook, i somewhat google FOR A WEEK on what other best 11.6 netbook around for me to compare…It narrowed down only to 2,the ferrari and the acer 1810tz, i like the specs of acer 1810tz w/c is the best battery (8hrs)with hdmi and 350gb hd space….

    But i ended up with my FERRARI one 200, because primarily of the UNIQUE design (i love it)…

    “I know i wont be able to afford a ferrari CAR but atleast i have a FERRARI NETBOOK”…hehehe

    iam using it for a week now and i have no problem….

    pro:

    Fast like a FERRARI

    average battery life (4 hrs surfing the net)

    light weight

    Spectacular , detailed design

    Cons:

    touchpad is sensitive, arrow sometimes goes wacko (ill get use to it bec im not using netbook)

    i wish they use norton ghost image not acer e-recovery

    Very fast, sleek machine. Rather pricey, but worth it for the speed. So far has worked perfectly. Will revise review if that changes.

    Fantastic value compared with other computers weighing about 3 lbs. at the $600 price. I have not yet found an external video card product to plug into the xgp port yet. There is no hdmi port which is lame for this price but I do not have any great need for it anyway. vga port works fine for projectors. Much faster than atom netbooks. 4GB RAM is a minimum for a laptop. Hope next update on this Ferrari will be solid state hard drive and add hdmi port.

    Years ago Acer had a terrible reputation and that has stuck with me. But after reading the reviews for the Ferrari FO200 here on Amazon I decided to take a chance.

    I was very encouraged when I received it – nice looking. After spending hours loading my software and transferring my files it locked up on the first road trip. Multiple disk errors, wouldn’t boot. There I sit with clients unable to access their data.

    Options are to return it to Acer with all my personal data on the hard drive or buy a rescue disk and replacement hard drive and start over spending another two days getting everything loaded. At this point I’ll probably trash it. My time is too valuable and I’m sick and tired of products that don’t work.

    I was also very disappointed in the battery life and how hot it runs. If you go with this model create the rescue disk immediately. Hopefully you’ll have better luck than I did. Acer’s reputation is still poor in my experience.

    UPDATE ONE MONTH LATER

    I ordered the restore disks from Acer and they showed up in a couple of days. I bought a new hard drive from Amazon and restored the system to new. Everything seems to work fine. BUT the system is frustratingly slow. CPU cycles are reading 5% and it still takes a full minute for Excel to load! I thought my Toshiba netbook was slow but this is a joke for a dual core 64-bit computer with 4 GB of RAM.
