Video Description

I may be a computer guy, but my true passion is for cars. Dealing with burnout from 15 years in the IT industry is tough, and everyone has their means of coping. I cope by purchasing or fixing old tech. Back when the P in PC stood for Passion, Acer and Ferrari had an awesome partnership going from 2003-2010. I already own an Acer Ferrari One 200, the last device Acer and Ferrari made together. But when I found out they also made a monitor AND an older, chonkier laptop from 2003, I had to have it. Of course these laptops were overpriced when new, but unlike Ferrari automobiles, these are in a sane market and lost 90% of their value. Though the monitor did run me $140 and the laptop $300, it was worth it to add them to my collection. I hope you enjoy this video of me finding genuine happiness taking this old Acer Ferrari apart. Let me know what I should do with it next. ___________________ BUY MY REFURBISHED LAPTOPS - https://www.salemtechsperts.com/ Help support me by becoming a member! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCClfFsWcT3N2I7VTXXyt84A/join Tools - https://www.amazon.com/shop/salemtechsperts All my Links - https://linktr.ee/salemtech ~ https://www.instagram.com/andythesalemtechguy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@SalemTechsperts/ https://www.facebook.com/@SalemTechsperts/ https://www.discord.gg/BMhTqtbDDx
