pretty awesome
- Pros: it's small and vlight. the 13.3 widescreen seems perfectly sized. it will run multiple high resource programs without lag. keyboard is really easy to get used to (minus the FN key placement). very inexpensive. the power saver button is really helpful.
- Cons: runs very hot quickly after boot. the fn key is switched with the ctrl key, and there is no way to change it. battery life - not so good (1.5 - 2 hrs). upgrading ram is a little tricky.
- Other Thoughts: all fo the sofware it comes with is junk, so i just removed it. great computer for the price.
amazing
- Pros: This is a VERY good laptop! high quality, good for whatever you need to get done! and it is beautiful too.
- Cons: Noda
- Other Thoughts: BUY IT
Great buy
- Pros: 1. Great price/performance ratio.
2. Small and sleek, looks good.
3. Excellent customer support.
4. Not very fast in 32-bit WinXP, but adequately so for a notebook in this class and price range. Very fast under 64-bit Linux.
5. Very sharp and clear widescreen display, with vivid colors.
6. Every single component in this machine, including the wi-fi (802.11b/g) chipset, the Ethernet chipset, video chipset, dial-up modem and the DVD/RW drive is fully functional under Linux and machine is zippy (tested on Ubuntu Breezy). The only thing that doesn't work as yet for me in Linux is 'hibernate.'
7. There is a hard switch to turn off wi-fi, when not required, to conserve power.
8. There is also a power-saver switch to force the CPU to run at 800MHz, instead of the 1600 MHz rated max. But the Turion 64 procesor dynamically steps down to 800MHz under low loads, so I leave this switch in the OFF position.
9. Has a built in card reader (SD, Memstick, etc.) ...but note that CF cards are not
- Cons: 1. No Win XP reinstallation CD provided. The Phoenix backup/restore software is worthless ...it stores everything to another partition on the same system hdd ...if the hdd crashes, tough luck. And, it does not play nice with dual-boot systems.
Like another reviewer advised ...get rid of all pre-installed junkware from the Win XP partition. All that free software (except the DVD burner s/w) is useless.
2. Battery runs only about 2 hr 15 mins before requiring recharging (with wi-fi on).
3. Gets very hot underneath ...not very comfortable, if you plan to rest it on your lap!
4. Very loud fan noise, somewhat weak speaker output (but audio is fine if you use headphones).
- Other Thoughts: 1. This notebook is approx. 4.7 lbs, not 4.2 lbs as most adverts state.
2. The laptop comes with 512MB PC2700 standard - 2 SODIMMs of 256MB in each slot. Thus, both slots are filled. Upgrading memory is not for the technically challenged -- Averatec support says that the max is 512MB per slot (i.e. 1 GB total). One slot is on the underside, requiring you to pop the whole cover. Worse, the other slot is under the keyboard! This requires you to pop the underside cover, and remove screws that hold the keyboard in place. One screw is hidden by a "warranty void if removed" sticker. Be careful, it is easy to damage the kbd if you overlook this screw. Also, you need to use a thin blade to push back the spring latches that hold the kbd. If you are not careful, you can easily scratch the plastic finish.
3. The laptop is very slim and my wife loves it. I configured it as a dual-boot (Win, Linux ->Ubuntu Breezy). She hasn't powered it down in 4 months now, and it has never crashed (in Linux).
