Averatec's 18.4-inch all-in-one PC gets the hands-on treatment

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 17th 2008 at 1:59AM

Averatec's latest 18.4-inch PC somehow manages to stand out in the wide world of all-in-ones, and yeah, the $549.99 price point helps in that regard. Laptop Mag managed to get ahold of one of these unique beasts, and they really seemed to dig it. The polarizing design was appreciated, the display was smiled upon and the hardware was decent enough for the most basic of tasks. But we know it's the images and videos you're really after, so head on down to the read link for all of that.

Averatec debuts Atom-based, 18.4-inch All-in-One desktop PC

by Donald Melanson, posted Oct 13th 2008 at 3:36PM


Well, it looks like Averatec is now fully on board the Atom bandwagon, with it now pushing its Buddy netbook out the door, and also getting official about the US launch for its Atom-based, 18.4-inch All-in-One desktop PC, which was first announced in Europe last month. This one's apparently intended to complement the company's larger, equally unimaginatively-named 22-inch All-in-One PC, and comes loaded with some expectedly more netbook-like specs, including 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, Windows XP and, of course, that ever-present 1.6GHz N270 Atom processor. You won't find anything like the 1680 x 945, 18.4-inch display on a netbook, however, or on many other desktop PCs with a $550 price tag, for that matter.

10.2-inch Averatec Buddy now on sale for $450

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 13th 2008 at 9:25AM

Finally, a netbook with a name cute enough to fit the design. Averatec's 10.2-inch Buddy is now on sale after becoming official late last month, and it's in stock for shipment to boot. As a refresher, you'll get a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11b/g WiFi, Ethernet, a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a WXGA panel, 4-in-1 multicard reader, three USB 2.0 ports and Windows XP Home running the show. Oh, and Averatec's own e-store asserts that this 10.2-inch machine has a 12.1-inch LCD, but you know better than that. Yours now for $449.99.

Averatec's 10.2-inch netbook just wants to be your Buddy

by Paul Miller, posted Sep 19th 2008 at 10:12AM


We knew it was coming, and now Averatec's officially unveiled the Buddy, another 10.2-inch, Atom N270-based netbook. It's not straying far from that template laid down by the Eee 1000 and Wind, but the more recent photos we've dug up seem to show that it's not a straight up Wind rebadge as previously implied -- which could be a good or bad thing, depending on Averatec's attention to detail and / or OEM partner. The laptop manages 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, Windows XP Home and WiFi for a reasonable $450, and should be hitting retail shelves and online stores soon.

Averatec to inevitably pump out a netbook

by Nilay Patel, posted Aug 11th 2008 at 8:18PM


Averatec reliably cranks out stylish-but-generic takes on most new hardware trends, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the company is prepping a netbook. Although nothing's been locked in, it sounds like we should expect an Eee 1000-class machine, with a 10.2-inch screen and an Atom processor -- but it'll also have a "real" Shift key, a 120GB drive, and a $399 - $499 price tag. We should fine out more by Christmas, when this thing hits stores -- but will anyone care by then?

Averatec All-In-One PC brings a little generic flair to the party

by Nilay Patel, posted Jul 7th 2008 at 8:32PM


Averatec's been trying to bring a little pop to its products lately, and the new All-In-One PC (seriously, that's what it's called) is the company's sleekest effort to date, copping a little style from both the iMac and the Gateway One. Your $1249 won't buy you anything spectacular behind that 22-inch display, but it's not too bad either: 2.4GHz E4600 Core 2 Duo with GeForce 8400 graphics, 2GB RAM, a 320GB disk, and Vista Home Premium. That's not a particularly astounding deal compared to the name-brand all-in-ones, but the specs are slightly better, so if you're spending nights ripping the labels off your jeans, it looks like you've got the perfect machine to start working on that followup to Plastic Surgery Disasters.

Averatec reveals a pair of ruggedized Voya laptops

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 23rd 2008 at 3:13AM

Look out, argonauts -- you've got more than Panasonic and Dell vying for your hard-earned dollars, as even Averatec is looking to make a play in the rugged laptop space. The firm's new Voya line of lappies gets going with a new duo of rough 'n tough rigs: the 14.1-inch 4473 and the 15.4-inch 6494. Both units pack a magnesium alloy outer case, corner bumpers and an anti-shock mounted hard drive. Internally, you'll find an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB HDD, WiFi, X3100 graphics set, a dual-layer DVD writer, 4-in-1 multicard reader and Windows Vista running the show. We're told that each should be available to order real soon, and with the Voya family starting at just $1,299, it may be just the thing for the outdoorsman / outdoorswoman on a budget.

Averatec pushes out 2575 12.1-inch AMD-powered laptop

by Paul Miller, posted Mar 21st 2008 at 9:10AM

Pushing pixels is great and all, but sometimes we've just got a hankering to see how far those dollars can stretch, and Averatec's 2575 laptop mostly satisfies those urges. For $1100 you get Vista Home Premium running on an AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core chip, with 2GB of RAM, ATI RS690 integrated graphics, 250GB of HDD and a Super Multi DVD drive. The 12.1-inch screen runs at 1280 x 800, and sports a 1.3 megapixel webcam. There's even ExpressCard 34 / 54 and a 4-in-1 memory card reader, and the whole shebang weighs in at 3.9 pounds and 1.5-inch thick. It's available now.

Averatec shows off 12.1-inch 2500 laptop

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 25th 2007 at 8:14AM


Unless you've got a thing for interestingly designed lids, Averatec's latest portable isn't likely to impress. Sure, it's sporting a modest 2GHz AMD Turion 64 processor, 160GB hard drive, a dual-layer DVD burner, 2GB of RAM, ATI's Radeon X1270 graphics set, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and Windows Vista, but chances are you've already dozed off after reading that, haven't you? Granted, it does tip the scales at just 3.9-pounds, but even that -- combined with those hella cool palm rest stickers -- can't ratchet this one beyond ho hum.

Averatec's 15.4-inch 8300 gets Santa Rosa'd

by Thomas Ricker, posted May 22nd 2007 at 8:26AM


Korea's TriGem just made their first trip to Santa Rosa this morning with the launch of their Averatec 8300 laptop. We're talkin' a 15.4-inch widescreen display, 160GB disk, DVD super multi-drive, a 1.3 megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel, and "the latest graphics card." Unfortunately, there's still no official word on the TG website, so let's just assume an HD 2900 XT and be done with it. What?

The 12.1-inch Averatec 2371 laptop runs Vista and AMD

by Paul Miller, posted May 3rd 2007 at 11:42PM

While we don't have any clear word on when or if to expect Averatec's 6700 laptop we just spotted to hit the States, things are a bit more promising with the Averatec 2371, which the company is also announcing today. The ultraportable is a slight bump to the 2300 line we spotted last year, and Averatec's first laptop for the States running Vista. Along with Home Premium, the 2371 runs 1GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD, dual-layer DVD burner, 802.11b/g WiFi, an ExpressCard/54 slot and a 4-in-1 card reader -- not too bad for a 1.3-inch thick, 4 pound, 12.1-incher. The screen runs at 1280 x 800, and there's a 1.6GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor under the hood. Prices range from $900 to $950.

Averatec's 15.4-inch 6700 "desktop replacement"

by Paul Miller, posted May 3rd 2007 at 9:32PM


These days, a "desktop replacement" laptop often sports a 17-inch LCD, desktop processor or dual hard drives, but while the new Averatec 6700 bothers with none of those, it still manages some decent specs as far as AMD laptops go. Pulling processor duties is an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2GHz chip, accompanied by 2GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD, DVD super-multi burner, ATI Radeon Express 1100 graphics and the usual connectivity frills to be found in a mid-range 15-incher. The 1280 x 800 15.4-inch LCD could do with a few more pixels, but Averatec did squeeze in Vista Home Premium for the 1,399,000 won asking price, about $1504 US.

Averatec Voya 320 brings GPS on the cheap

by Cyrus Farivar, posted Nov 15th 2006 at 5:52AM

We last spotted Averatec's first GPS device this past summer, the Voya 350, and this week, the California-based company just released its update to the line: the Voya 320 navigation device. It seems to offer many of the same features that we saw in the previous model, including the same chip (Samsung 300MHz), the same amount of RAM (64MB), the same screen size and resolution (3.5-inch, 320 x 240), and same memory card slot (SD/MMC). However, the Voya 320 has a smaller battery life (two hours instead of four) and also has brought the price down to $300. Is an extra two hours of battery life worth $100? That's for you to decide.

TriGem's Little Lloun+ media PC: littler, and Core 2 Duo

by Thomas Ricker, posted Oct 24th 2006 at 4:33PM

TriGem, you know, the Korean company behind Averatec here in the US, have just thrown down an update to the Little Lluon media PC. Dubbed the Little Lluon+, it's now slimmer but heftier than its cuz at 44-mm (1.7-inch) / 3-kg (6.6-pound) and purrs along at a maximum of 31.6dB on down to 25.1dB at a chilled idle. Better yet, it's now driving Windows Media Center Edition with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T7200 and 320GB SATA disk according to Akihabara News. Thing is, we can only find the LCFC11-MO plus model on the TriGem site which sports the lessor 1.73GHz Core Duo T2250 proc -- so pass on the link love if ya got it in the comments dear readers. Oh, and we'll be expecting your LX version for the rest of world any day now Philips, thanks.

Averatec goes dual-core with ultraportable 2300

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 17th 2006 at 5:05PM

After blessing its slightly larger offerings with that dual-core goodness, Averatec is finally looking after the little guy by upping the innards of its slim and trim 2200. The 2300 retains the same 1.3-inch thickness and four pound weight as before, while receiving a welcome upgrade in the CPU department. Still sporting the tantamount 12.1-inch WXGA AveraBrite LCD, the machine boasts an 1.6GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50 dual-core processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 100GB 5400RPM SATA hard drive, 802.11b/g, and a dual-layer DVD burner. It also packs a plethora of ports for its size, including gigabit Ethernet, 56k modem, audio in / out, 4-in-1 flash card reader, VGA output, 4-pin FireWire, a trio of USB 2.0 connectors, and a snazzy ExpressCard slot to boot. To top it off, Averatec coupled the boosted specs with a drop in price -- the 2300 ranges from just $849.99 to $949.99, depending on those BTO add-ons.
