Averatec 1100 Reviewed

A review of the lightweight Averatec 1100 Ultra-Portable Notebook PC has been posted over at Laptop Magazine. ‘At 10.4 x 7.9 x 1.1 inches, the Averatec 1100 is smaller than a standard sheet of paper, and at 3.4 pounds, feels almost as light. The slim but sturdy body is accented with an appealing black-and-silver color scheme. Opening the notebook reveals a gorgeous, 10.6-inch, 1280 x 768-pixel widescreen display. Web pages and images were especially sharp and colorful. DVDs looked good with the screen’s wide viewing angles, but the sound was less than spectacular.

Because of the 1100’s small footprint, the keyboard is cramped, and we found ourselves making an unusual amount of typos. Nonetheless, the keys were solid and responsive. The system’s demure size also affects the two-way scroll control built into the touchpad for navigating pages; it felt as if it didn’t have enough vertical room to be useful.’
