- averatec 2575
- Since we reviewed the Averatec 2371 last year, the company has taken its laptops in a whole new direction. Gone are the cheap-looking plastic cases and rock-bottom prices; in their place, the company offers a new minimalist design and slightly higher--though still competitive--prices. The new ultraportable in the company's lineup,...

- Netropa Intellinav 2
- There are a number of newcomers entering the U.S. GPS market, trying to loosen the grip that heavyweights Garmin, TomTom, and Magellan have on the industry, and one such company is Netropa. The company's Intellinav 2 caught our eye not so much for its design though compact and shiny but...

- averatec 1579
- If there's one thing we get hugely excited about, it's small laptops. With systems including the Toshiba R500 and Dell XPS m1330 offering ever slimmer and more powerful options for those who need full-fledged computing on the go, these not-quite-pocket-size options can now easily function as your main machine. If...

- Acer TravelMate 6291
- Ultraportable laptops are popular with frequent travelers and aesthetic minimalists, but premium prices and low-end components often make them a tough sell. We've been happy to see a couple of lower-price 12-inch laptops of late, including the $899 Averatec 2371 and, for $150 more, this $1,049 model from Acer, the...

- averatec 2371
- The ultraportable laptop is set for a summer revival, with high-profile systems including the Toshiba R500 and Dell XPS m1330 offering ever-slimmer and more powerful options. But these new systems are both expensive and still a ways off, so for the space-challenged or the frequent traveler looking for a 12-inch...

- averatec Voya 320
- When we reviewed the Averatec Voya 350 late last summer, we gave it a lukewarm reception; it was a decent portable navigation system but it was in need of some refinements in design and usability to really compete with the industry leaders, such as Garmin and TomTom.Well, it looks as...

- averatec 3360
- With a bargain-bin price of $649, the Averatec 3360 is nothing fancy: its silver plastic case and standard-aspect display won't turn any heads, and its previous-generation components and mediocre performance won't have any user jumping for joy. But it does have a few nice perks we're not used to seeing...

- averatec Voya 350
- When you hear the name Averatec, you probably think laptops and not GPS devices. However, the company is expanding its consumer electronics portfolio with its first personal navigation system, the Averatec Voya 350. It's a basic system with text- and voice-guided driving directions, a points-of-interest database, and automatic route recalculation....

- averatec AV7160-EC1
- Most of the 17-inch wide-screen laptops we've seen have been high-end configurations tailored to gamers or multimedia enthusiasts. The $1,199 Averatec AV7160-EC1, the top model in the company's 7100 series, eschews pricey, powerful graphics and TiVo-like DVR functionality for a simple design, a thin profile, and a light weight. It...

- averatec AV2260-EK1
- Averatec makes aggressively priced laptops that often feature a compelling set of components for the price, though we've heard some users complain about faulty systems and unreliable tech support. That said, like the 3715 model we reviewed last year, the Averatec 2200 offers a competent mobile-computing experience, with a quality...

Incredibly thin and light, it manages to squeeze a 12-inch display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150. While there have...
