Performance
Even with the slower processor, the Ferrari 4000 performed admirably in our benchmark tests, coming in just behind the 1.86GHz Pentium M-based ThinkPad T43. The Ferrari 4000 was slightly faster than the Fujitsu LifeBook N3510, which has a slower, 1.73GHz Pentium M processor. On the other hand, the Ferrari 4000's battery lasted 3 hours, 27 minutes in our drain tests -- 42 minutes longer than the LifeBook N3510, but not in the same class as the 5 hours, 6 minutes offered by the ThinkPad T43's slightly larger battery.

Good: Speed
Bad: Every thing other than speed
Comment: I have had this laptop for 9 months first the @ sign decided to move to a new position then the pound sterling sign just stopped working and I only use it on mains power so I tried using battery power and it tells me to save my work as the battery is critical
