Nice!

Nice and light! Only if I had the cash to get that so I could use that sometimes instead of my huge brick of a laptop (in the laptop's defense it is a 64 bit athlon, 15.4 widescreen, and dedicated video).

Nice, but brand is kinda cheap...

 

[fbrdphreak]

averatec is an awesome value brand. not the best build quality by far, but definitely awesome for the $$$ :thumbsup:

How's that? 889.94 - $40 coupon - $150 ER = $699.94

 

[ThaiBruin]

no, it's still $699 after rebate if my horrible math serves me correctly.

I think its actually 749.49. The 889.94 price already reflects the 10 instant and 40 coupon.

I couldn't get the site to accept the $40.00 coupon

I think that's right. I don't see how you can get it for 699.

Ahhh...I see what your saying...I tried and it tells me the coupon won't work unless the item is $899.94...weird, why would they put it on there and then not let you use it

 

[emjem]

Coupon requires adding another $10.05 to the order.

Nice deal!

Can anyone comment on the quality of this laptop?

 

[cyrax78]

It seems to be a good machine, check out Pc Magazine's review here. They gave it their Editor's Choice award for ultra light laptops.

Want me to give it a try?

I just bought one for a friend and set it up for her. I didn't perceive a single problem, it never crashed (8 hours prime95) and passed every benchmark. I ran on it. The model she got had the mobile XP2000+ in it. Battery life was 2 hours watching a DVD, not a drop more. Make sure to run the "fan learning routine" in the bios, otherwise the fan stays on full speed all of the time.
