    I was wondering if from what people know is the Ferrari 5000 going to be a worth while buy? Is it one of the best in this type of laptops considering the specs? Im aware that it had an AMD but I like that and I dont want to hear about intel crap, Ive heard it all and read all the reviews and at the moment I would rather have an AMD even if it seems to be a bit slower. Aside from that can anyone tell me if this is a worthwhile buy or would I just be buying a pretty piece of junk?

    I personally would prefer something like HP nc8430 just from a cost perspective. I haven't seen one of the newest Ferraris, but a neighbor has one of the older Ferrari 4000s. It seemed pretty solid to me. The look is sort of a personal preference.

    Ferraris seem to be very solid machines, well built compared to other Acers.
