Averatec 2300 Series - Laptop Mag

A review of the Averatec 2300 Series ultraportable PC has been posted over at Laptop Magazine. 'The Averatec 2300 Series is a solid ultraportable at a very affordable price. Weighing only 4.1 pounds, it’s the lightest dual-core notebook here and is easy to carry. The angular, black metallic flake chassis is attractive. Averatec hasn’t stripped down the configuration to make it come in at under $1,000, either, delivering 1GB of RAM, a 100GB hard drive, an integrated dual-layer DVD burner, and Windows Media Center Edition (or Windows Vista Home Premium, depending on the build date). That said, the AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor trails the others here in performance.

The small size and glossy 12.1-inch widescreen make the 2300 Series feel more like a portable DVD player than a PC. And indeed, the screen looked good during DVD playback, with very little motion blur for a budget entry. The panel’s 1280 x 800-pixel resolution makes for crisp text and images but also mighty small default fonts and icons. Sound quality was a bit thin but more than acceptable for a machine this size. We do wish the unit offered dedicated multimedia controls, or at least volume buttons.'
