Just wish it could be less than 3.9 pounds - that is still a slight problem for some of us]]>Mar 21st 2008 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/They also devour batteries so I'd rather pay more to go for a cool running C2D.
I used to love my old Athlon 64 when are AMD going to sort out their mobile chips ?]]>Mar 21st 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/

Poor case construction
Poor heat dissipation
Battery Life and total recharge life was low
Too fragile

But perhaps they've made improvements.


But truly, for Averatec's pricing, you get your money's worth.]]>Mar 21st 2008 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/ Great products at a great price

I don't want a dongle, i want it integrated... I don't want an external USB dongle sticking out. Maybe a PCIE card that resides inside the card slot and doesn't stick out?]]>Mar 21st 2008 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Mar 21st 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Sound familiar?]]>Mar 22nd 2008 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/
So some of their notebooks will vary in quality. I do like their 1000 series, rebranded Twinhead F10 series.

It looks like they are out of business in the U.S though, since their website hasn't been updated since May 2007.

They are based in Korea.]]>Mar 21st 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/finaly some laptops with good specs, realy hope there will be a updated one with RS780 grpahics aka 780M with HD 3200 and meybe Hybrid Graphics]]>Mar 21st 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/
I have worked in IT support for an ungodly amount of years. Averatec lappies had somthing around a 40% failure rate within one year of purchase, and 70% within 2 years. Wasn't limited to a single model - didn't seem to matter which one was purchased - it most likely would fail.

For those of you who had luck with the machines... It will most likely run out someday.]]>Mar 22nd 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/21/averatec-pushes-out-2575-12-1-inch-amd-powered-laptop/Jun 11th 2008 9:25PM
