The fact that the screen is pretty dim is because CCFL lights degrade over time, which causes them to be dimmer, and the fact that the Steam installer didn't launch is because Vista blocked it, and you need to right click, properties, and unlock. LGR also made an in-depth video about this laptop.

With no SSD the boot and installations passed like continental drift. I kept that laptop just 6 months and burned by the experience I haven’t used one since!

It's odd to think that the idea of plonking the badge of a car manufacturer on a laptop is a thing, especially when nobody would want a car 'proudly' wearing the badge of a laptop manufacturer. In the highly unlikely event I ever buy a Ferrari I think I might have it repainted 'Acer laptop white' and replace the car's badges with Acer ones. I miss laptops that have replaceable batteries and want to be upgraded. No doubt why I still have an Elitebook 8560w, and they hold their prices so well.

Well I certainly remembered such experience for my 1st couple laptops. When I was a student, my parents would get me only the basic laptops to save money, so yeah I'm happy if I could play anything. Although speaking of Mass Effect, a buddy even had to help me edit some reg files to set the settings even lower than low else it won't even run lol. Granted I got my own stuff which didn't need to do such things once I started working as a young adult. And I did hv the rotating webcam on my 1st Asus laptop. Its good that you don't need to cover it, just turn it the other way if you don't want others to see you. Ah. Good times. Thx Dawid for the trip down memory lane.

I actually bought an Acer laptop that had Vista on it. It was late 2006 if memory serves. During the 1st year, nearly everything on the laptop broke. The power cable receptacle, the headphone jack, serval buttons on the keyboard. This was technically my SECOND Acer laptop because the 1st one had a power interruption during setup and bricked the entire laptop so I had to take it back and get a replacement. The last words that laptop told me was "Starcraft.exe has stopped responding" before I slapped it into the floor and threw it away.

It's hilarious to me that they put the ferrari laptop in that shell, because with only a couple of modifications it was identical to their baseline budget line. I had a laptop from them that came stock with Vista, 512MB of RAM and a cute little Celeron with Intel GMA 950 graphics. It was a nightmare to use, but at the very least it was upgradeable. I put (i believe) a core 2 duo in it and maxed out its ram at 4GB, and raided through the entirety of WoW Wrath of the Lich King on it. But seeing the *EXACT SAME SHELL* being used for what I can only assume was meant to be a premium laptop experience was a huge suprise. Plastic everywhere, barely functional heatsinks and fans, fiddly screws and hardware with poor driver support? Amazing.

Fun Fact: Acer is the only tech company that is credited by the FiA as an engine supplier to an F1 team. Back in 2000 the Prost F1 team needed a new engine deal after their previous supplier peugeot told them in no uncertain terms "do please fuck off" so they turned to ferrari who agreed to a non-works (giving them year old engines) deal with a minor catch: They were required too rebadge them as "Acer O1A V-10" because there was a co-branding clause in the contract so for the remaining two seasons that prost was in F1 they had to suffer the embarrassment of faking an engine supplier because their actual supplier didn't want the world to know that they were "helping" out.

The steam issue can be worked around by transferring game files from another computer (including the associated appmanifest file), I recently did this with an old XP machine. Another alternative is to dual boot an OS that can run steam like Windows 7 or Linux and then creating a custom library folder on a Windows partition and setting it as a library folder in XP as well and then downloading to it with 7/Linux, this is how I do it on another XP PC.

These old laptops had some serious CPU throttling issues with Vista...the power management for Vista was mostly to blame. One trick I used was to right click power settings and enable maximum performance. I've had programs lock up during install with it set to anything less. Edit: I had the non-Ferrari version of this laptop btw, it was fairly upgradeable for it's time, and was one of the first SSD-powered laptops I ever owned (went from a 250GB 5400RPM to a 128GB SSD). I remember it being a solid little machine after upgrading everything on it.

"But then there's the second half...." [points to part of the logo with the ass half of the horse] I see what you did there. Also, awarded by Dawid as being the most fun to say? Linode has made it, ladies and gents.

I got one of these in pieces years ago, eventually I ended up scrapping it, there just wasn't much of it left to put together. my model actually had a slot loading optical drive.

The Lenovo chromebooks at the high school I went to had the same webcam thing where it flips around. Most of them were broken, because you can trust high schoolers and there were only 36 chromebooks for all 500 students freshmen to senior, but they were still neat. I personally wouldn’t want one and would rather just have a little sliding cover, but my only experience was with the ~$100 chromebooks.

Seing the packaging, I would have unpacked the thing outside to prevent any uninvited visitors. Once I would have opened the laptop, it would have gone directly into the trashcan.

There never was a good Turion. The entire line was "budget oriented" which always meant dogshit, do not purchase, do not consider. Turions for me were board testing chips so I didn't have to risk anything better.

If you made me guess which country Dawid was originally from . . . Namibia would have maybe been in my top 100 and only after I had guessed at least 4 other African Countries. The more you know.

Oh yes, the Ferrari laptop. Just so you know Dawid, that model you had was one of the 'cheaper' ones they offered. They did have some Intel Core ones, as I recall. Of course back when I saw these come through the store, using Steam on them wasn't the issue it is for you now. You've raised a good point in showing this though. Even physical games that are tied to authentication servers won't work anymore. Isn't our new Digital Future great? If you need to mess with older hardware again, use offline GoG installers. You'll have better luck there. Not that I'm suggesting you revisit this. I think you've suffered enough.

I had a little red Acer 14"? netbook,it had little half tyres on the bottom and made a little ferrari engine noise on boot up.I took it backpacking to Asia about 15 years ago.Short story of it is,it used to overheat really quick if you dared try to play football manager so sold it on return to UK :D

I trust a company like Falcon NW to do the Ferrari and Lamborghini names justice as they actually use high quality paint on their chassis and don't skimp out on the parts used in their desktop builds. I think they did try their hand at laptops back in the day but not much after.
