Averatec AV2260-EK1.jpg

The Averatec AV2260-EK1 notebook is a competitively priced computer which offers decent components and mobile performance in a nice sleek design. 'At 4.2 pounds, the AV2260-EK1 is a borderline ultraportable. It resembles the Lenovo 3000 V100 in design; both are built around plastic casings. It's not as thin as the Apple MacBook 13-inch nor as rugged-looking as the Dell XPS M1210. The 12.1-inch screen is transflective, so color saturation on photos and videos will look better than on a matte screen. The 95 percent keyboard is a little cramped for my tastes compared with the full-size ones offered by Dell, Lenovo, and Apple. The keys toward the bottom, such as the arrow keys and the Windows key, are almost half the size. The mouse buttons click silently, which is a definite plus. The touchpad did feel a little warm after a period of Web surfing, but the base stays cool enough for some serious lap-based work.'
