Averatec aims for a more portable notebook

There are many occasions when it is preferable to carry a notebook computer that, unlike many laptops, doesn't seriously stretch the limits of the term 'portable'. Averatec apparently is of the same opinion and has chosen to seek out a more compact solution to mobile computing coupled with a decent style.

The Averatec 1050 is pretty distinct with its burgundy colour and has a slim 26.6 x 20.25 x 2.9 cm set of dimensions, it weighs in at just 1.6kg. In computing power, its Windows XP operating system is backed up by 1.1 GHz processor, 512MB RAM and an 80GB hard disk drive, which means it won't be fastest machine around but should have about enough muscle to cater for most needs.

Other features include the 10.6" AveraBrite widescreen capable of 1280 x 768 resolution and a host of connectivity options such as a 4:1 card reader, two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire connection. The Averatec 1050 is available now for a pretty reasonable £999.
