Acer Ferrari One laptop is all set to hit the U.S markets in January next year, but it is unlikely to be available with external graphics card designed by AMD to make it as powerful as a desktop PC. This sporty laptop is considered as the one suited for gaming purpose. This laptop has been already launched in the UK and has got quite a good response there. According to an AMD spokesperson the features and upgrades available with this laptop will allow gamers to play latest games at home.

This laptop is equipped with a PCI Express card slot which allows user to connect an external graphics port to increase graphics performance. The Acer Ferrari One laptop has the following features:

  • Acer’s InviLink 802.11bgn Wifi with Acer’s SignalUp technology, Bluetooth and 3G
  • 6-cell 5600mAh battery gives upto 5 hours of runtime.

One of the most important features of this laptop is ATI’s XGP technology with the help of which you can connect to an external graphics device. The XGP interface helps in connecting a dock with ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4670 GPU which provides a high 2048×1536 pixel resolution on an external display. Also this ATI’s XGP can run up to four displays when used on a notebook PC and comes with lots of connectivity options like HDMI, DVI and USB connections.
