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.

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.

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.

Your new benchmarking metric should be "Dawid's blood pressure" 🤣 Great video, as usual 😁

Great job I went thru a similar experience recently I did not get as far as you did. Congrats Dawid!!! P.S. I just got rid of the old hardware. :)

If it's anything like their cars, it's really nice to look at, WAY overpriced, and, will break the first time you actually try to use it.
