Perodua Myvi SE

The new updated Perodua Myvi SE has been launched in the Malaysian market, so let’s have a look through what’s new with this Special Edition model compared to the recently unveiled Perodua Myvi facelift.

This Perodua Myvi SE is essentially an easy way to accessorize our Perodua Myvi with all the costs of making it look different from the run of the mill Myvi factored into the hire purchase loan for us and installed straight from the factory.

Basically, the enhancements are all aesthetics. The engine is still the same that is 1.3 liter unit producing 86 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 116Nm of torque at 3,200rpm, and the brakes are still discs at the front and drums at the rear.

This new updated Perodua Myvi SE is very nice and special. It is more beautiful model than the recently unveiled Perodua Myvi facelift.

What you get is a new bodykit featuring a different front bumper and a different rear bumper, a spoiler, and different 14″ alloy wheels. The new rear bumper features a diffuser-like design which looks so much better than the pre-facelift Myvi SE’s rear bumper. The taillamps are also now of a clear design and keep the LED lighting units inside while the headlamps are of a blacked out design.

On the interior you get leather upholstery on the seats as well as the steering wheel. The head unit is no longer integrated but of a 2-DIN type and comes standard with CD, MP3 and WMA capability. It can also load your music files from a USB drive, and it has Bluetooth capabilities. The instrument panel follows the facelifted Myvi’s three-gauge design but instead of being blue and white, it lights up in amber.

Interestingly the cute yellow Myvi that we saw in the spyshots is missing from the line-up of both the standard facelifted Myvi and this new Myvi SE. You do get one new colour - Tangerine Orange. Other colour options for the SE include Ivory White, Ebony Black, Glittering Siver or Pearl White. Pearl White is designated a “special metallic” colour that costs more than your normal metalic.

Acer Ferrari 3000

The Ferrari 3000 has mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2500. It also has 512MB of DDR SDRAM and it's hard drive is 60GB. Beside that, it also has DVD RW drive, 128MB of ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics, 15-inch of SXGA LCD, 10/100 of Ethernet and Microsoft Windows XP Home. It is very special because it has 802.11g wireless and bluetooth.



What about it's bottom line? This is a fine notebook for those who want to turn heads in a wireless environment, but the strong multimedia hardware needs commensurate multimedia performance and software. And the hefty charger combined with short battery life limit this Ferrari to short road trips.



It's performance is adequate. We won't find many other notebooks with rewriteable multiformat DVD drives for $1,900 street and we won't find any others with that glorious Ferrari color and sound. Furthermore, it's battery life are up to the levels of systems built around Intel's best Pentium CPUs.



As the conclusion, the Acer Ferrari 3000 is very special and better than others. This is because it has many benefit and functions.

Acer adds a new shade to the familiar notebook colors of black, silver, titanium, gray, and silver-blue: Rosso Corso—Ferrari's racing red. Those who want a portable computer that stands out can do far worse than the Acer Ferrari 3000 with its bright red cover displaying a gold-and-black prancing stallion—a logo instantly familiar to fans of the Italian sports car.

The Ferrari 3000 pushes the boundaries of thin and light—it's 1.2 inches thick and, if you have to carry the transformer, 7.8 pounds. Leave the grounded 1.2-pound AC adapter at home, though, and your shoulder will regard the 6.6-pound PC as a relatively light burden. Still, at 13.0 by 10.7 inches (WD), this sportster is a little bulky, even for a system with a 15-inch screen.

The SXGA display and multiformat DVD-rewritable drive lay the groundwork for a fine multimedia notebook. The footwork, however, is up to you—the only significant piece of bundled software is an OEM edition of NTI CD & DVD Maker for ripping, adjusting, and burning CDs and DVDs. That leaves you with the task of downloading a free music player, like MusicMatch Jukebox, and installing your own imaging software. The minimalist bundle drops the system down in our multimedia ratings. The Ferrari 3000 is bursting with connectivity, though—Bluetooth, 802.11g, and 10/100 Ethernet.

The case provides some nice touches: four USB 2.0 ports, a single slot that can handle Memory Stick, Smart Media, and SD/MMC cards (you'll have to purchase an adapter, preferably a PC Card one, for Compact Flash), one Type II PC Card slot, and even an ID card holder on the bottom. The keyboard deck has Acer's signature happy-face look—QWERTY keys sculpted into a slight upward smile. To clean fingerprints off the case—and people will want to touch it—there's even a bright red microfiber polishing cloth.

The AMD mobile Athlon XP-M 2500 and 512MB of RAM provided quite good mainstream performance (as measured by Business Winstone 2004), especially for a system with SXGA graphics. (SXGA moves almost twice the number of pixels as XGA—1,470,000 versus 786,432, or 187 percent as many.) Multimedia performance was less stellar, however, and may have been adversely affected by the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics. Battery life was so-so, at 1 hour 36 minutes for a 65-watt-hour, 0.9 pound battery. Wi-Fi throughput was good, showing little falloff up to a distance of 120 feet.

The textured silver-gray keyboard deck and bottom, small optical mouse (in matching red), and startup sound—a Ferrari Formula One engine roaring across the speakers from right to left—certainly don't dampen this system's unique character. Nor does the clearcoat sealer that protects the brilliant red livery and gives it the same sense of depth you'd see in the paint job on a $200,000 Ferrari.

Performance is adequate, but neither it nor battery life are up to the levels of systems built around Intel's best Pentium CPUs. At the same time, you won't find many other notebooks with rewriteable multiformat DVD drives for $1,900 street. And you won't find any others with that glorious Ferrari color and sound.
