How good is an Averatec laptop though?

 

[Dealmunky]

from what i understand, Averatec is the new name for Sotec. So you can probably judge the quality of this by the quality of older Sotec's.

I wonder what battery life this would have.

 

[webley]

Looks a lot like this Sotec

damnit. now when i was looking at laptops sotec only had celerons available.
oh well, at least i can feel good about my purchase knowing that they still only have S3 graphics, and i have a Radeon with a 128MB aperture.

Nice laptop. I don't know if I'd call it "Ultra Portable." Ultra Portable to me is one of those Vaio's with a Crusoe. Or is that going into "sub notebook" range? Lines are fuzzy I guess. Still a good deal.
