Averatec AV2260-EH1



CNET editors' review

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 series offers a competent mobile-computing experience, with a quality 12.1-inch wide-screen display, a comfortable keyboard, and a dual-layer DVD drive, all in a 4.3-pound case. We tested the Averatec AV22600-EK1, and its battery lasted less than two hours in our tests; it's not going to let you get too far away from the wall socket. Unless battery life is a nonissue for you, we think you're better off spending a bit more money for a more resilient thin-and-light laptop. Check out our top products lists (for business use, for more casual use) for the best of the best.

The Averatec 2200 series has a lot going for it--portable design, comfortable keyboard, solid components--but its wimpy battery life is a deal-breaker.
