Review of Averatec's 3250, the sub-$1000 sub-notebook

Averatec 3250

It's a little late now for the gift giving season, but if you're looking for a laptop that's under 5-pounds (4.5, to be exact) and under $1000, Averatec's 3250 may be the one for you. The impressive package is an inch thick, got a Athlon XP-M 2200+ CPU, 12.1-inch XGA TFT display, 802.11g WiFi, and options for 60 or 80GB drives, and a combo burner or DVD burner. We're not sure why they'd cap the maximum RAM at 512MB, but otherwise we've gotta admit, this definitely does look to be one of the better deals around for such a little laptop with a lot of power, and PDA Buyer's Guide's got another review of one. If you want the spoiler: they like it.
