The only problem I had was the fan went bad after about 4 years. It still worked but was really loud. I replaced it for $20.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shawnmos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2009 5:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Averatec debuts 12-inch $699 N2700 ultraportable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</guid><description><![CDATA[@shawnmoss "20GB of ram" - What on earth are you blathering on about?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[miffe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2009 5:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Averatec debuts 12-inch $699 N2700 ultraportable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</guid><description><![CDATA[@miffe<br>don't worry he upgraded it to 640gb of ram]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lazarpandar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 27th 2009 9:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Averatec debuts 12-inch $699 N2700 ultraportable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</guid><description><![CDATA[my bad, 20GB hard drive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shawnmos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2009 1:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Averatec debuts 12-inch $699 N2700 ultraportable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/averatec-debuts-12-inch-699-n2700-ultraportable/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's... really not bad at all.
