Averatec Netbook Launched
The battle for the netbook market just got a little hotter. Averatec already have a good name in the laptop market so this looks like a logical move into the UMPC/netbook sector. This piece of hardware, the Buddy netbook, is yet another device that seems to be pushing at the boundaries between notebook and netbook. The Buddy features a 10.2 inch screen (1024×600 resolution) which puts it amongst the larger netbooks currently on the market.
Even though this is a fairly large netbook don’t expect any huge surprises under the bonnet. The Buddy is powered by the new Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor. In addition, the standard unit ships with 1GB of DDR2 memory, Intel GMA950 integrated graphics, a 160GB hard drive and WiFi connectivity. Bear in mind that this is a netbook, designed for mobile use and browsing - it wasn’t built for die hard gaming fanatics which means these hardware specifications should be more than adequate for the intended target market. The Buddy looks to be shipping with Windows XP Home but what’s to stop you installing your choice of Linux? t
Pricing - $449 from all major online retailers. Customers can also order theirs direct from Averatec.
