Computer maker Acer is once again putting the pedal to the metal, introducing a new Ferrari One notebook computer with an 11.6-inch screen, ATI graphics, an integrated optical drive…and, of course, Ferrari logos and styling so users can somehow feel they’re at the wheel of an Enzo while, erm, playing Minesweeper or something. However, while Ferrari enthusiasts might be able to work up some excitement for the notebook, computing enthusiasts looking for a high-performance, highly portable notebook might be a little disappointed.

“Both Acer and Ferrari have a tradition of designing products built on passion, innovation and performance,” said Acer America’s senior director of U.S. business development Chris White, in a statement. “The new Ferrari One notebook blends the ideas of racing and technology into a superior PC product.”

The new Ferrari One notebook features a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlong 64 X2 processor, up to 4 GB of RAM, a 160 or 250 GB hard drive, and an 11.6-inch widescreen 1,366 by 768-pixel LED-backlit display driven by and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 graphics controller. The notebook also features an integrated optical drive (Acer isn’t saying what), a multi-in-one media card reader, an integrated webcam,802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless networking, built-in speakers (and support for Third Generation Dolby Home Theater audio enhanement), three USB 2.0 ports and VGA output. But where the Ferrari One may not pack a tremendous amount of punch, it makes up for it in portability: the system weighs about 3.3 pounts and measures 11.2 by 8 inches, and is just 1.2 inches thick at its deepest.

Acer has a massive 45-inch OLED Predator gaming monitor for CES 2023
Acer Predator X45 OLED gaming monitor.

Acer is debuting a new 45-inch OLED monitor at CES 2023. The Predator X45 is an ultrawide gaming monitor that leverages an OLED panel, and Acer says its capable of insane brightness and contrast that could go up against the best gaming monitors.

For specs, the Predator X45 uses a 45-inch, 21:9 panel. It fits in the same class as a monitor like the Alienware 34 QD-OLED that's wider than a traditional 16:9 display. It also comes with an aggressive 800R curve, which is very similar to the LG UltraGear 45-inch OLED we saw last December.
